An often important task when logging important process data to a database or even to the cloud is verification that the data has been logged. This ensures that data has been successfully logged and will not be lost when overwritten in the downstream process.
In this video blog, we'll step through the configuration required in the OPC Data Logger for logging important process data to a database on condition related to a monitored item and how to perform a writeback to the OPC data source confirming the data has been successfully logged.
Watch this video to learn how to log process data from any OPC UA or DA data source based on a monitored item trigger with a writeback to the OPC server for verification using the OPC Data Logger. Looking for other how-to videos for OPC Data Logger? Click here!
