This will depend on your ERP system. What type of database are you going to need/have?

Without knowing your system, I would look at getting the information first into a database of some sort.

This can be done through AdvancedHMI. There are several other interfaces that you can choose. This includes OPC servers such as Kepware etc.

Hope this helps,

The most "universal" way to read anything from a PLC is via OPC. Is your ERP system capable of gathering data that via OPC?

Dear All

As per your suggestions I want to know how to log AB PLC data in any data base like ODBC or SQL using Rslinx OPC. Please help.

RSLinx alone will not be able to move data to a database. You will need software that takes the data from the PLC and transfers it to a database.

If you watch the last 5 minutes of this video, you can see one such method:
