Where can I find examples of DSC madule?

I want to find some examples of DSC madule in this web. Not exactly by the software and connecting to net. I want to download example files.

If you need more examples than what you'll find in "DSC development module" examples folder, try searching the forum with the word "DSC" or "datalogging" and look for the messages that have attachments or URL addressess. they may help.

I don't know if there is any example in developer zone, but you'll certainly find some articles there that are really useful to help you get started (if you're new to DSC )

take a look at here, check "architecture","programming", "communication" and "datalogging" at the linked page.

there are lots of reading and learning material. more useful than examples, as I think!

Thank u for your help. Of course I'm new.

I agree that there aren't enough real world examples of user DSC applications. The DSC module doesn't seem like it gets much attention. It works pretty well, but could be refined a bit. Here are a couple of mine.

This file is for a machine that presses valve seats and valve guides (32 total pieces) into an aluminum cylinder head. It monitors I/O bits from a plc. The station probes the part to see what pieces are already in the part. Then continues pressing pieces into the part. The part fixture moves sideways to 6 different positions and there are four hydraulic presses on each side of the part. Data results are written to history tags and logged in Citadel. Bar graphs are created to analyze reject locations.

These are 7.0 format files.

Here is an example that makes a logic analyzer strip chart with tag engine data and a waveform chart. At the end of recording, the chart history data is written to a file. This is a 7.0 format file.

I use the kepware opc server program to get my plc data into the tag engine.

Here is my main application for the DSC module. This is my first self-taught program and it definitely violates a few of the rules. This application does tool monitoring while machining cylinder heads. An analog power signal is sent into a modicon momentum plc. The plc does some processing and stores the signal into consecutive registers. These registers are transmitted to the kewpare opc server program over ethernet. The tag engine reads the data from the opc server. I had to add checksum calculations, inside labview and the plc, to verify the large blocks of data. Toolpass data is saved to memory tags(binary string) and stored in Citadel.
