The TwinCAT Database Server enables data exchange between databases and the TwinCAT system. In the process PLC variables or for example the EtherCAT I/O values can be cyclically recorded by changes or event-control by means of the PLC function block. Stored procedures can also be activated from the PLC. The following databases are supported: MS SQL, MS SQL Compact, Microsoft Access, ASCII files (e.g. Excel); as well as the following ODBC databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, Oracle, InterBase and Firebird.
