Dear all,
I'm new to the PLC world and I was tasked with collecting process data from a PhoenixContact ILC 151 PLC into an SQL database for later reference and visualisation. The only problem is that I don't know how to retrieve such data from the controller over the network. The datapoints would only need to be collected once every 4/5 minutes. I know phoenix contact created a function block for PCWORX to directly insert data in MSSQL servers but sadly this requires a licence on each controller.
I hope some of you have some insight. Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Matt.
