Posted 18 Oct 2013 I am extremely new to PLC Programming and was wondering if it is possible to extract data from a PLC and input that data into an access table through some type of automated process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 18 Oct 2013 You can do that through DDE or OPC link depending how fast and how much data. If you search the Downloads in Allen Bradley for "DDE" there is a spreadsheet with some VBScript how to get data out. You'll need RS Linx running on the PC you want to suck the data out of the PLC with and it needs to be connected the PLC in some manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 3 Dec 2013 OpenOPC (Python library) is a really simple way to read tags. I use it for automated testing. http://openopc.sourceforge.net/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
