Datalogging with RSLogix 5000 for starters

[SimonJensen 0]

Hi I have some problem setting up a datalogging system because i really don't know what to do and where to start. I found some nice threads in here that gave me some ideas, but not solved my problem. I need a system that logs my consumption on water and gas. This could be either pr. second, minut or hour - i haven't made my decision yet. Of the data i want to see a graph on this total consumption on either day, month or year and has to have no intervention by the operator, so when the operator wants to see the data from e.g. the year 2011, the operator just click a button and gets a graph that show that year. The data has to be logged dynamically with no "Start logging button". I have an AB Logix5555, FT View and a computer that shows the operatorpanel. What i'm looking for is a neat solution on this. Let it be either a Rockwell program or another program. How do you guys do your data logging? Sorry for my bad english. Hope you still understand...
