Dataworx P3K 2020
I am trying to use Datawork P3K 2020 compatible with Windows 10 and this software is not working. Anybody had any success with that version? I tried the version running on Windows 7 and it worked fine. Support at Bizware hasn't answer my phone call or emails so i am wondering if there is anybody else beside the credit card processing person working there.
Bizware's very sparse website only indicates support up to Win7.
Their documentation has always been lacking. So much so, they are still hosting/using AD's 2009 dataworxP3K manual.
What issues do you experience? Maybe someone could point to firewall, permissions, router... configs if we knew a thing or two.
DataWorx 2020 is listed on their website as being compatible with Windows 10. The PLC doesn't receive any from the database and Dataworx error log file has 2 error in it. one is "AddModbusTCPControl Error: Type mismatch". The other is "ProcessQueue: Modbus Control not initialized." Firewall was off, pc connected on a switch with PLC. No issues with Windows 7 PC with the old version on same PLC.
I am using Dataworx 2020 on windows 10. It is functioning. I do occasionally have errors when interfacing the server, but it is logging data from my plc to my database. Bizware seems to have changed their name to Inteworx. Their website is www.inteworx.net. Their site indicates that they sell Bizware products, however the Bizware site does not work. They have not been responding to phone calls or emails however I do get read receipts quickly after sending email. I have even sent emails about purchasing an unlimited license to Dataworx 2020 and no response. I have to assume they are no longer operating their business.
I need to quickly find an alternative way of sending data from my Productivity 3000 plc to my database. I just can't rely on an unsupported software product.
Let me know if anyone knows of another product to send records from a Productivity 3000 plc to a sequel server.
Depending on your budget, resources and skillset, Ignition is the way to go. Ignition is by far the most technology forward SCADA system out there. Ignition might be overkill for what you're trying to do. If so you could use Python/NodeRed etc to write to a database.
How much data are you logging, and how much data per unit of time are you logging?
If your data throughput is low, you could do as @RBPLC (Customer) suggests. Garry (forum member) has volumes of samples/examples how to do a lot of things at https://accautomation.ca/
The page https://accautomation.ca/category/hmi/node-red/ has NodeRed/MQTT for P2K.
For your purposes, I would think that P2K and P3K could be interchangeable.
Garry may pop in to provide more, pointed info than I could possibly give.
