Hi,

Generally, a "simple" way to connect a PLC to an ERP system is via OPC. Many PLCs already come with an OPC server provided by the vendor and there are plenty of 3rd party OPC servers that are available from companies like Kepware and Matrikon (now Honeywell) that connect to a wide range of SCADAs and PLCs.

Once the data is available via OPC it can be interfaced to SAP via SAP ODA, MII or by 3rd party methods. Each one has their own pros and cons.

You may want to take a look at this web site: [www.opc-to-sap.com]. Since it provides information on a supported product that can simplify such projects.
