Morning,during testing with PLCSIM advanced I need something quick to be able to analyze any errors in excel with tables already prepared with previous SCADA. If this is not possible I will manage otherwise. Thanks. Regards.

I still do not understand the requirement.
Which errors are you talking about?
When do the errors occur?

Morning Leopold, no mistake I may not have explained well.
I would like to know if it is possible to request data from the S7 Plus Driver from the outside. As if it were an OPC Server and from excel make the request for the necessary values.
Example with different driver : =applicationname|<devicegroup>!itemname
or with some gateway or OPC.

Thanks.
Regards.

The S7+ driver can establish a communication to a S7 device. It does not have any other communication channel or a server port which can be contacted.
Values which are send/received by the driver to/from the PLC are stored at DP elements in the WinCC OA system.

If you want to get the information for the values in another software there are several possibilities, e.g. export them to a file, using a HTTP server, starting an OPC server, ....
Which one is the best one depends on the use case.
