OPC Data Logger - Real-time Data Aggregation & Storage
For Windows 2000 - Windows 11 (2022) (incl. Server, x86 and x64). Latest version: 4.0.8 build 708. July 8, 2025.
Brief description:
OPC (OLE for Process Control) is a set of universally accepted specifications providing a universal data exchange mechanism in control and management systems. The OPC technology ensures that consumers are independent of the availability or unavailability of drivers or protocols, which makes it possible to choose hardware and software that most completely meets business requirements.
The program is designed to send/receive data between an OPC server and the program. Data exchange is carried out by server groups and their items specified in the configuration. After data is received, it is processed and grouped depending on the specified configuration and is sent for future processing and export.
OPC Logger custom processes the data to your needs, aggregates and writes real-time data to a text or binary file, MSSQL, MySQL, Access, Oracle or ODBC compatible database, Excel, or to other targets.
What problems can be solved with Advanced OPC Data Logger?
The program creates "a bridge" between OPC servers and databases, Excel, and other applications. Our OPC Data Logger is an advanced data collection system that will connect to any industry-standard OPC Server and export data as you want. The program can be integrated into your control system and work together with your SCADA software.
Getting started is easy. Advanced OPC Data Logger is ready!
After installation, start Advanced OPC Data Logger from the Start Menu. Click the Green Plus button, add your servers, and server items to a configuration. Then define how you want the OPC data to be processed, logged, and exported.

Universal. The program supports DA1, DA2, HDA, AE, XML, UA-DA OPC interfaces. Automatic tag import capabilities.
Fast & surely. Fast multithreaded, optimized and efficient architecture.
Variable data receive. Supports all data types of OPC servers tags.
Recovery functions. The program can automatically restore broken connections with an OPC server.
No limits. The program doesn't have OPC server connection limits or tag limits.
Extended logging features. Outputs received data to a comma-separated (CSV) log file. Supports date/time stamping.
Visualization. The program allows you to display all received data in the program window. You can customize data view options.
Data filters. Allow you to filter, format, aggregate your data. You may define simple rules or use powerful regular expressions.
MS Excel. Data export to ready-to-use MS Excel files.
Databases support. Exporting data to MSSQL, MySQL, ODBC-compatible database (MS SQL, Oracle, MS Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others).
Real-time export capabilities. Advanced OPC Data Logger can run as a DDE server export OPC data to old applications.
Program messages logging. Writing to a file all program messages so that you may diagnose errors and warnings.
Plug-ins. Many free plug-in modules that are extending program features.
Simple, dialog-driven step-by-step set-up. Programming is not required to configure the software to collect data.
Various OS. Works on all Windows versions from Windows 2000, including x86 and x64 platforms.
Windows service mode. Unlike most other serial logging applications, Advanced OPC Data Logger can run as a service to start as soon as the operating system starts and doesn't require a user to log in and run it. It will continue to run even as users logon and logoff the workstation.
It is extremely easy to use. The configuration process is fully menu-driven and has complete, context-sensitive, on-line help. You can easily customize all input to your exact specifications. Once you see how easy it is to use Advanced OPC Data Logger, you will never again take data readings by hand.
