As Ethernet becomes more popular, one (or both) of the following is going to have to occur:
1. IT Network guys are going to have to become PLC savvy and understand all of the various Modules/Hardware (ECOMs, EBCs, c-More), tools (NetEdit3) and programs (DirectSOFT, KepDirect, c-More configuration s/w) that utilize these connections, their basic transport protocols (e.g. why a point-to-point connection via DirectSOFT works but a broadcast from the configuration software, NetEdit3, does not work).
2. PLC people are going to have to become more IT/Network savvy. Routers, Subnet Masks, Hubs, Gateways, Packet Sniffers, etc. are going to become tools in the PLC guy's toolbox.
Hello, I have searched around but not found the simplicity (I believe) of what I need. The above quote is exactly what I need to step by step instruct the IT guy. I have setup a DL205, 250-1 CPU, with the H2-ECOM100. I have set an IP Address per availability by IT guy. On-site, on customer's local wireless I can connect thru via A/D Software (had setup ECOM using NetEdit) and all works well. From here, I don't know what to tell IT guy so I can access remotely anywhere else other than local. Thanks.
