What specifically do you mean by ERP? What ControlLogix are you using or planning to use? What devices do you want to communicate with? Full brand and model numbers please.
You can't connect ERP directly to the plc. You can use this http://www.oldi.com/tManager_home.shtml to get the data from the plc to a database such as oracle or SQL then the erp software can read that database.
What erp package are you using ? SAP,Dynamics,Sage,Oracle?
Yes OPC could work also but it depends on the OP ERP or MES Package and if it supports OPC. Using the OLDI module that i posted in a previous thread would prevent data loss if the ERP Server goes down as the module has onboard flash memory that can be increased with a flash card.
