Hi - I'm a newbie to the PLC world but was recently asked if we could store more than the 2G that the CompactLogix 5370 allows by its max size SD card.
This controller is hooked up to an industrial water purification system and they want to track all of the water quality measurements, together with all of the system log data for post-analysis. This gets tricky as my site has restrictions about connecting anything on the OT network to any place one might normally dump this data over the 'net.
So, local storage is apparently the only option.
I see that this thing has options for USB and Ethernet. Has anyone experience connecting/using a USB hard drive or network-attached storage device on this type of controller?
