The fast and simple datalogger
ACCON-EasyLog continues easy operation known by his predecessor product ACCON-S7-EasyLog and brings along not only a modern design but also new possibilities. Thus ACCON EasyLog is ideally suited to quickly and easily read and save data from the PLC. This is possible either time-controlled or event-driven.
ACCON-EasyLog has a modular design and offers you the possibility to choose between different input and output sources - exactly adapted to your situation.
Convincing and multifaceted
ACCON-EasyLog can read in the data from Siemens controllers with or without TIA as well as from SIMATIC controllers. For S7-200, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1500, LOGO! 0BA7 and LOGO! 0BA8 all common communication channels are supported. ACCON-EasyLog supports the S7-1200/S7-1500 also with optimized block access and masters the import of symbols directly from the TIA Portal of versions 12 to 19.
For the output you have the choice to save your data in CSV format, in an SQL database or to send them to the Arburg host computer system (ALS) for archiving. MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and Oracle Database are supported. Data stored in CSV format can be processed in many ways, including direct use in Excel.
Currently read out process data is directly displayed in ACCON EasyLog. In order to be able to detect deviations faster, ACCON EasyLog offers a graphical representation of the data. Thus you can recognize trends faster and react immediately.
Perfect fields of application
ACCON EasyLog enables the (mandatory) archiving of process data for quality assurance and control. The use in international teams or locations is best supported by the currently available languages German and English.
Recording and logging of various data and formats, e.g. of plant shutdowns for the documentation of downtimes of operating processes such as the recording of temperatures of a cold store or filling levels in silos or tanks.
Important suppliers from the automotive industry have been using ACCON EasyLog as a reliable and comfortable solution in the production for years. Read more about the different fields of application and advantages of the use of ACCON EasyLog in the tab Practical examples.

Coating defects quickly detected
September 2019
KÜBLER ESSIG has developed a robot-supported measuring table for checking the coating thickness of powder-coated aluminum rims. By using the data logger ACCON EasyLog, the recorded measured values can be easily visualized on the PC and deviations from the specifications can be detected quickly.
Clever data interface creates transparency
September 2015
Safety and passenger protection systems play a central role in automotive engineering. ZF TRW is one of the internationally leading manufacturers in this field. When the company installed a new assembly line for seat belt buckles at its site in Alfdorf (Germany), the challenge was to read around 4,000 variables from the control system and integrate them into the higher-level MES. The automotive supplier found a reliable and comfortable solution for this task in DELTA LOGIC's new datalogger ACCON EasyLog.
Energy from waste
May 2012
In the highly competitive beer market, energy and raw material costs are rising, and with them production costs. Erdinger Weißbräu therefore relies on its own energy management system, reducing the energy requirement per hectoliter of beer by 40%. Last year, the company also integrated a fuel cell into the company's energy and material flows to turn unused waste into energy.

Is it possible to change date and time format of the CSV entries?
Yes, the format can be customized. In your configuration you can set the default date format as well as the default time format. To do so, activate the advanced settings at the bottom of the dialog (check the "Show advanced settings" box). The configuration can then be made in the Basic Configuration tab.
What can be the reason for the error message "Error creating directory 'Y: / Myfolder'"?
When using ACCON-EasyLog as a service, it may happen that the user "system" knows the drive under the direct path only, e.g. \\My drive\My Folder
Does ACCON EasyLog save error logs and log files? If so, where?
Yes, the logs can be found under C:\Users\Public\Documents\DELTALOGIC\ACCON-EasyLog\Logs.
What has to be considered when accessing a LOGO! controller?
With a LOGO! it is not possible to import the S7 project. You must enter the operand address manually. Reading and logging data from a LOGO! is also possible with the demo version. Special instructions for LOGO! (0BA7 and 0BA8) controllers can be found in the application notes for download (only available in German at the moment).
Can ACCON-EasyLog be used as a Windows service?
Yes, you can install the service when running the setup. Further information can be found in the ACCON EasyLog manual (included in the setup download).
Download setup with manual.
How can I graphically display variables and values in ACCON EasyLog?
With the module OUT Graphic the history of the recorded data can be displayed (max. 10,000 data sets). For this purpose open the log view by double-clicking on the corresponding configuration line and select an element, e.g. a csv file, under "Available destinations".
How can I install an old license of ACCON EasyLog on a 64-bit computer?
You can install ACCON-EasyLog via the compatibility mode.
Can the graphic module access the data of an SQL database?
No, the graphic module cannot read the data of an SQL database. The graphic module displays data from the ACCON EasyLog internal history table (the last 10,000 recorded data).
"At the booth, I looked at the new ACCON EasyLog software and bought it right there on site, because the option of having the PLC data displayed in the software immediately graphically is just great. I'm really excited about the ACCON EasyLog software! "
"ACCON EasyLog works wonderfully! I'm really excited about the new features."
"We are very satisfied with ACCON EasyLog. The data logger software offers all the functions we need, making it ideal as an interface for our general operational data acquisition."
"I am delighted with the ACCON EasyLog datalogger software, which is extremely easy to set up because the configuration is self-explanatory."
