ProSoft PLX51-DL-232 Data Logger Module (DF1 Serial / EtherNet/IP / Modbus)
The ProSoft PLX51-DL-232 is a stand-alone data logger that reads and stores data from EtherNet/IP PLCs, DF1 serial PLCs and devices, or Modbus PLCs and devices. It can store over 16 million records in its solid-state non-volatile memory, with each record including a date/time stamp, tag name, data type and value. Ideal for remote sites with limited communication, enabling OEMs to log machine data to identify operational issues or improve efficiency. Technical data sourced directly from the official ProSoft Technology PLX51-DL-232 datasheet. Supplied by SHLY-PLC, an independent industrial automation distributor; each unit undergoes visual inspection and functional testing before shipment. Contact our team for compatibility verification.
