AutoSPY Analyzer

The variable analysis software

AutoSPY is a software which records, displays and analyses process data of a PLC-controlled facility. The software has successfully been on the market for years and is constantly improved to meet the growing requirements.

The device driver SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 with the accuracy of the sample moment now supports STEP7 TIA Portal V14.

Perfect fields of application

• Sequence logging by recording process data in a fixed period of time
• Cause analysis of sporadic interferences by cycle-based recording
• Process optimization by cycle-based recording
• Checking the program logic by cycle accurate recording

Convincing and varied

Varied trigger possibilities are available for a specific recording. Thus, you can prevent the recording to get too big and too complex.
The data are continuously saved in a file. Recorded data can be displayed graphically or as a chart. There are different zoom and searching functions for analysis. With Visual Basic Script, you can create analysis methods on your own and adjust them to particular requirements. Thus, there are almost no limits for analysis. Additionally, you can export the signal data in a CSV file.

Technical highlights

• Free AutoSPy Viewer for analysing and viewing AutoSPY signal tracks
• Diagnostics of sporadic interferences
• Long time capturing of suspicious signals
• Triggering for known error effects
• Concentration on certain periods of time
• Measuring the duration of process steps
• Easier production optimization
• Support when creating applications, testing and validating software

You have the choice

The basic module can display and analyse recorded process data.
In order to record process data, a driver is required so that there are different supplementary modules resulting from the various available drivers:

Available Drivers

• S7-300/400 cycle-precise
• S7-300/400/1200/1500 polling-precise
• S5 cycle-precise
• OPC Data Access
• LabJack U12
• Video

The cycle-precise driver modifies the PLC program automatically and guarantees a recording of the process values for every PLC cycle. The polling-precise driver records the process value in a certain period of time which has to be set without changing the PLC program. In order to record data from different device manufacturers, an OPC driver complements the range. Furthermore, there is a driver to record electric measurands via the wide-spread USB measuring box LabJack U12. The video driver enables capturing videos with up to 16 DirectShow-compatible cameras.
