Reuse the structure
Logix L5X and supported Siemens source imports reduce repetitive setup. Addressing and database mappings still need engineering review.
Event Engine® / Systems integrators & machine builders
Make the next integration easier to understand.
Use reusable structures, explicit event results and visible diagnostics to build a controller-to-database interface the customer can maintain.
From configuration to handover
A repeatable approach to the event.
- Define the contractAgree on product identifiers, payloads, inputs, outputs and failure outcomes.
- Configure the eventImport supported structures and map the database operation.
- Prove the behaviorExercise the handshake, inspect telemetry and document recovery.
Return the result
Completion and status tags give the machine sequence an outcome to check.
Hand over the evidence
Use run history, phase timings and errors to explain normal operation and support troubleshooting.
Scope before committing
Compatibility is specific.
Confirm the controller model, protocol, addressing, database platform and required cycle time. For Siemens, the documented release supports absolute addressing; symbolic / optimized addressing is unavailable.

Why Factory Data Systems
The people behind the product matter.
We built these products from the integration problems we kept meeting on the plant floor. Our starting point is your process, the evidence you need, and the systems you already run.
Work directly with FDS or through your system integrator. Discuss the configuration with an engineer, define what success means, and evaluate it against your own production requirements.

Bring a representative event.
We can review the data contract and a useful acceptance test before you build out the remaining events.
