PLC data communication with a remote server

How can I interact with a PLC to send and receive data to/from a remote server(PC).

For example a robot that have a PLC and want to interact with a server that placed at near room with a wireless communication.

Data must move all over the time. PLC sending the data to the server and server must sending back the result of computation on the data to PLC.

review : My PLC brand is Delta but its model has not been selected yet .

A common scenario is that the manufacturer provides an OPC server for the PLC. You should check their website once you know the model. Then it is just a matter for you to create an OPC client.

A good way to start is to get a free OPC server simulator like the one from Matrikon. It doesn't need any hardware. OPC is a standard interface (although there are often some minor variations between manufacturers) - if you can get your client to work with the test server you can probably get it to work with the PLC.
