I am using Siemens Step7 Software with PLCSIM from Siemens. I want do display some data from the PLCSIM in MS Excel.

Does anybody know how this works?

Check out the VBA part of Excel, on the computer where PLCSIM is installed the VB Object list should show a "Prosim" activeX control. This control gives VB and VBA enabled applications access to the PLCSIM resources. Check the PLCSIM documentation for a manual. Otherwise any communication tool or HMI, like the SIMATIC Data Control that comes with WinAC, can access the PLCSIM through the MPI Interface, if PLCSIM is started it reroutes this interface to itself

Kind Regards

I know the PROSIM tool, but with this tool it is not possible to read memory and datawords.

kind regards
 
If you can program in VB it's easy to do what you want with S7ProSim Control. This control you'll have if you have PLCSim. Try and good luck!
