I have seen this done a couple of different ways but TCP/IP works the best for real-time data collection. Only because once you get the data, you can do what you want with it. All real time. I have also seen data transferred via text files as well as through a serial port.
Using OZEXE Pro, you can easily receive the data (by any of the above methods) and send back a response if neccessary. Now that you have the data you can manipulate it an then programattically use ODBC, FTP, or send it elsewhere through TCP/IP, serial, or even http if that works for you.
If you give more information about the data the PLC is giving you (is it real time, batch, a string of formatted data, or something else) as well as the data’s ultimate destination, I can be more specific as to a good solution.
Hope this helps,

We currently have it installed in three major distributors in Canada and one large book publisher in New Jersey. The solution is capable of supporting physically remote sites in real-time.
I’ll thing you’ll find it worth a look.
