Hi members,
We would like to set-up an application, where sensor statuses from an industrial machine running in a production plant will be logged to an SQL server.
The sensors are connected to an industrial PLC (Siemens S7-1500) that is running the machine. So we would like the PLC to send some kind of string to the PC that is running the SQL server to write a value in the database.
I’m a PLC programmer myself and we are working with a third-party programmer that is setting up the server and a PC application to analyze the data. But the programmer has no idea if we could send something directly to the database.
So I was hoping to get some information from you, I assume that I should be possible considering that a database should be remotely accessible right ?
For your information the PLC is able to Connect TCP, iso-on-TCP & UDP we are able to send every command we would like to during the communication.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
