1-Click Access to Data
Streamline your tag creation process with One Click Allen Bradley, available for both online and offline use. This tool efficiently extracts all accessible variables directly from AB Logix controllers or control programs from all controller types, enhancing your automation workflow.
Reliability
Adjustable connection and transaction timeout parameters provide optimal performance. In the event of a network failure, automated recovery measures are in place to ensure seamless operations. Additionally, a backup controller can be defined to ensure reliable Automated Communications Failover..
High-Speed Performance
Parallel processing enables high-speed data throughput for Ethernet devices, achieving updates as fast as 15 milliseconds with automated packet optimization for multiple variables within each packet. Up to 1,000,000 tags per server.
Data Accuracy
Data from each controller is processed on-premise in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) manner. This ensures that all data received from the controller is preserved and not just the latest value. Maintaining complete data accuracy is crucial for all applications that rely on this data.
Common Use Cases
Log Allen Bradley Data to Databases and CSV Files
Use the OAS Data Historian to log data from Allen Bradley controllers into various databases, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others. This logging can be triggered by changes in the data, specific events, or continuously. The system also supports logging high-speed buffered data from a controller. Learn more ..
Transfer Allen Bradley Data
Transfer of data to and from Allen Bradley controllers and various Industry 4.0 data sources using the Data Route feature.. This data transfer can occur continuously or be triggered by specific events. Additionally, both Basic and Live Data Cloud Networking enhance this feature, allowing for seamless transfer over your local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the Internet. Learn more ..
Allen Bradley User Interface
Create Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for Allen Bradley data using the cross-platform UIEngine without any coding required. The UIEngine features an extensive library of components that allow for drag-and-drop design, along with integrated support for Web Trend and Web Alarm products.
You can consider options such as WinForm HMI, WPF HMI, and Web HMI, as well as programmatic access through the .NET Data Connector and OAS REST API to seamlessly integrate AB data with your existing legacy applications. Learn more about the UIEngine

OAS Platform Features
Cross-Platform Support
The OAS Platform supports multiple operating systems and deployment options including Windows, Linux, Docker Containers, and can even run on low footprint devices such as a Raspberry PI 4.
Networking
OAS is an edge solution that offers flexible networking options for standalone installations, multi-tenant data aggregation, and even secure unidirectional data transport.
Programmatic Setup
Utilize our .NET SDK or REST API for flexible and automated setup, ensuring full integration with your asset management software. You can also import and export CSV files, which helps you work with Excel and third-party applications.
Calculations, Time On, Counts, and Totals
Merge data from various controllers and additional data sources while performing real-time computations and logic processing, all without the need for coding. Monitor the duration of activities for specific points and the frequency of their transitions over a defined period. Aggregate analog values both daily and over the entire timeline.
