DataTrapConverter
A PLC data trap records user defined data into a data table with FIFO buffering. The data trap is stopped when triggered by a used defined event. This technique is particularly useful for troubleshooting events that happen too quickly for OPC trending tools to capture. The data captured in the PLC is typically not well organized for analysis, especially in RSLogix5 where data tables have a fixed number of columns that doesn't necessarily equal the number of data items to be captured.
DataTrapConverter was developed to post process PLC5 and ControlLogix data traps. It is used to read, organize and scale the data table data and present the data in a more usable format. Data can then be copied from DataTrapConverter and pasted into other applications, such as Excel.
