We got a PLC with OPC server and it records the production order and its torque value. We need to interface with SAP R/3 so as to send the order and torque data from OPC server to SAP. Can you please suggest any solution for this.
Another alternative is to consider using a third-party commercial off-the-shelf product such as the one described here: http://www.opc-to-sap.com
In this case you need to balance the cost, complexity and on-going support expense (and risk) you would incur trying to build your own custom solution versus the cost of using a supported product provided by a product vendor.
Nevertheless, you should take into consideration that the application side of the interface may prove more complex than the technical one; for example, you say that you want your OPC client to report to production orders. How would it know what is the right order to report?
Normally such an integration includes a two way data transfer; from SAP the orders that were released, with the necessary details, and back the confirmations.
But here its a one direction data transfer from PLC to SAP. Production order will be recorded manually to PLC and the the torque value with order needs to be sent to SAP. We dont need the order data to flow from SAP to PLC. The link which you gave refers to SAP ODA.Does this work even if we dont use PP-PI module.
