Data Logging

Industrial Control Links offers a variety of products suitable for data logging. The data logging feature offers both a powerful diagnostic tool as well as a means of gathering data without constant polling in-low power (solar/battery powered) radio telemetry applications, dialup telephone telemetry systems and systems that are not tied together with any type of communications network.

In addition to various levels of configurability and storage capacity, each of the units that we offer has features that allow it to do far more than conventional data loggers. From local alarm annunciation, alarm delivery via pager or voice to Internet connectivity and advanced process control capabilites, we have a unit for your application. The following table helps you select the one that fits your needs:
