The PLCDataSuite is a simple and cost-effective way to read data directly from a Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and save it in an Excel file. Just as easy: Write data from an Excel file to a PLC. The DataSuite contains both the functions of the PLCDataReader and the PLCDataWriter. The DataSuite is a program of our PLC Data Tools.
The program runs in the background, so that the Computer can be used for other things. Via a tray menu entry you can view the status and change the configuration. You can make the most important settings in just a few steps. This includes the S7 PLC connection, the memory options and the assignment of PLC data to the Excel cells or rows. Done! Now program the PLC to fit. We support you with an example program for TIA-Portal.
