Excel read/write to HMI or PLC?

Hey guys,

I am trying to pass values from my PLC or HMI to a remote computer and read them in Excel and vice-versa. How can this be done? Would it be easier to do this through the PLC or the HMI? DDE or ODBC? The system is an Eaton C-H ePRO HMI and an ELC PLC.
Thanks in advance for any input.

You should be able to read from the plc with an entertron LoggeR, via the serial port.

Go to entertron.com or here LoggeR.
