Access and PLC

[Hannes]

Hello


I have not used access before and have a question.

Is it possible to import data from a PLC to Access using modbus? The PLC has some kind of SQL library.

Best regards

sorry. I'm not reading articles on programs I don't use.

I will say though, that if your source program has an export wizard, and it stores data in the form of tables (which most do), I wouldn't doubt that you could export it to a .csv format with a specified delimiter and then import that file into access. Access accepts plenty of common delimiters and file extensions.

good luck with it!
