If you are looking at getting process data (i.e. from the running system) I think the way to do this would be with some sort of OPC client that could get the information from the OPC Server
Besides OPC, CoDeSys still has DDE. I had positive experience supplying MS Excel from the Gateway <- RS232 <- PLC. If yours data is changing not too fast it could approach yours requirement.
Hello everybody,
I want to do that.
I have a program in CoDeSys and I want to save some variable in a database (access).
It's possible to do that?
And how?
Thank you for your response.

Something like this should work:

although I've never used it.
You could write your own Visual Basic program to do this which I know can be done because one of my engineers has done it.
