Hi, there are several way to get data from the PLC to a PC. 1. Get the data "live" in Excel: Use a OPC-Server. Here the link to download the 60 day license of PC-Access: https://www.automation.siemens.com/_de/s7-200/support/tools_downloads/pcaccess.html Read the readme information to get the Excel-Addin installed. 2. Datalogging This is use to record specified data from the PLC to a Memeory card and upload the data with the S7-200 explorer. The necessary SW is part of MicroWIN. Both SW (PC-Access and S7-200 Explorer) support the same kind of connection then Micro/WIN. This means if you can connect MW to the PLC (PPI, MPI, Profibus, Modem, Ethernet) then no additional communication setting are necessary. I hope this helps. Regards Helmut |

Hi, there is a free port communication option also if you want to transmit some data from PLC to PC or other devices with COM port, what you need is PPI cable (or any RS232 /RS485 converter), and you need to write some code in the PLC for port settings and communication to be transferred, below is a link to example code provided by siemens: https://www.automation.siemens.com/microset/html_76/support/tipps/tt-kommunizieren.htm however if you need to transfer some data to Excel, the best soultion is to use S7-200 Explorer that already provided within Microwin Tools. |
