Abstract
A system and method for capturing automation data from an automated system uses a multi-array populated by an automation controller with automation data including timing data defined by a controller clock. The multi-array includes at least one member corresponding to a sensor sensing a state of the member and a plurality of member-defined data elements, which may correspond to a start time and end time of the member state. Automation data is captured from the controller multi-array by a computing device in communication with the controller including a first data table corresponding with the controller multi-array for efficient collection of the automation data from the controller memory, and a second data table for associating each data element with its defining member and storing the associated data in a historical database which may be used for analysis of cycle time data of a member, device or operation of the automated system.
