Hello,

PeakHMI can read data from the Fatek PLC and write data to Excel, Access and SQL server.

In terms of obtaining and managing data, you may want to consider Kepware's ODBC driver:

Not knowing what driver you will require for Fatek, you may want to consider the capabilities of the server and what it can do for your application:

If you have any questions, feel free to respond, pm or email through the link in my signature.

Hello,

Fatek supports two protocols, Facon and MODBUS. PeakHMI can use Facon and/or MODBUS.

Looking at the Kepware website, MODBUS would be the only option to access the Fatek PLC.
