I have a project where I need to output data to a PC database (could be either Access or SAP, don't know yet) from a PLC via Ethernet.
PLC is a Compactlogix 1769-L33ER.
I was thinking of doing the following:
1) Install WinWedge Pro on the customers PC to monitor the port and move the data into the appropriate locations in the database.
2) Use an RTA 490NBX gateway between the PC and PLC to read the PLC tags and send them to the PC.
The messages would be in ASCII.
Is this a good way to do this? Is there a better way?
