RTA’s A-B PLC Historian is the simplest way to capture and share operational data from Allen-Bradley PLCs. Purpose-built for industrial environments, it logs and structures time-series records locally while giving you the flexibility to forward or publish those records to the wider enterprise. Engineers and operators can visualize, analyze and distribute data without relying on complex middleware or cloud subscriptions.
Get Control and Mobility of Your Data
The Historian runs on your local network and then securely exchanges data with IT systems via a separate dedicated network interface for secure connectivity. It is designed for seamless IT-to-OT integration. Forward historian data securely to SQL databases, HTTP REST APIs, WebSockets, FTP servers, MQTT brokers, email inboxes or removable USB devices—whichever destination best serves your operations and analytics teams.
Turn Plant Data into Actionable Insight
With flexible cyclic, event-based and scheduled triggers, the Historian captures exactly the information you need—from shift-level KPIs to predictive-maintenance signals. Native InfluxDB compatibility makes it easy to build Grafana dashboards or feed other enterprise applications, enabling real-time monitoring, long-term performance tracking and rapid root-cause analysis.

What our Customers are Saying
“The 435NBA is an excellent serial to EtherNet interface to an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC. We had our barcode scanner up and running within a day with your tech support. Great web interface makes it easy. We will be using more of these in the future.”

"Industrial automation domain experts – the guys who build a lot of valves, pumps, drives, etc,, and need a way to talk to their devices – will find their Modbus champion in John Rinaldi. The author has almost as much shop floor experience as Modbus itself, the 40 years it’s been (and remains) the sole open source electronic networking protocol for connecting automation systems. John brings his trademark passion for, and quirky treatment of, all things industrial automation, to Modbus in the 21st Century. Internet of Things? OPC UA? All good – but automation engineers for whom small, simple, cheap, fast solutions will suffice will walk away from this book joining John in declaring ‘Hail Modbus! Modbus forever!"
