The entry-level NJ101 SQL client models can be used with a variety of SQL databases without special software or middleware. In addition to automation and motion control, they are used to perform data-logging tasks and replace complex SCADA or gateway systems. The client CPUs can be installed on existing equipment as well as new machine builds. By connecting directly to the database, users have the potential to accelerate leveraging real-time data for productivity improvement, predictive maintenance and quality traceability at production sites. The CPUs support Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL and Firebird. Users do not need ICT-related programming knowledge to construct a system.
