Cloud Data Logging

NOTE: Model SE-SL3001 does not support data logging.

Why Cloud Data Logging?

Cloud data logging gathers remote data from your control components. The data is
transmitted in the StrideLinx Cloud for administrative, monitoring and analytical purposes.
Our goal is to give you an insight in the performance of your machine and/or installation.

How Does the Cloud Data Logger Work?

The Cloud data logger is a completely cloud-based solution. All the values you have
programmed in the PLC can be logged by the StrideLinx logger, easily and securely.
Once the data tags are added to your router in the StrideLinx Fleet Manager, you are
prompted to push the configuration changes to the router. The router then transfers the data
to our server where it will be stored in our database.
Cloud data logging does not use your PLC for processing or data storage; the router retrieves
the data and stores it the StrideLinx Cloud.
The StrideLinx Cloud has a crucial role in the functioning of the Cloud data logger. All
settings and data points to be logged are set via the StrideLinx Fleet Manager. The StrideLinx
Studio allows you to create multiple custom views of your processes, including real-time
data and historical trending. Once everything is set up, the StrideLinx Portal is your central
location for monitoring your equipment, connecting to it, and exporting data.
The support pages at the Online Help link to the right will answer
questions about Cloud Logging, and guide you through setting up the
service.

Configure Cloud Data Logging On Your Device

To use Cloud Logging, you'll need:
• a StrideLinx account with a router configured and online
• a Cloud Logging activation code, purchasable at AutomationDirect.com, or a 30-day free
trial for one router per company.
The rest of this chapter give an overview of setting up and using Cloud Logging. Details are
available in the Online Help pages, and linked throughout the chapter.
