First, I know nothing about PLC's, but I was wondering is there a way to extract data from a SQL database file, feed that to a PLC is some manner, and then have the PLC trigger a diverter gate based on the value in the table exceeding a certain value, to divert parts to another location.
Am I off base, or is there something out there that will allow or help me to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
