BRX ECOMEX Different Subnets
« on: February 11, 2024, 12:56:51 AM »
I have a BX-DM1E-M-D running 3 EBC-100'x & 10 or so ABB ACS580 VSD's with modbus TCP on 2.9.7 desginer.

I have 2 different subnets on this site, one for the PLC's and comms of HMI/VSD's (192.168.1.XXX) & another for internet access (10.0.0.XXX).

Customer is requiring emails for shift reports & logs of alarms during production.

I am hoping to keep both the networks separate using a P.O.M. Is this possible with either a ECOMEX or ECOMLT to have the BRX running the on board ethernet port as 192.168.1.XXX and a P.O.M running 10.0.0.XXX. I have tried to set it up and am able to ping the P.O.M on the network but unable to send emails.

Wondering if someone is able to point me in the right direction, thankyou!  :)

The ECOMEX is what you need to access different servers/services on different subnets, exactly as you are needing.

You need to remove the gateway config for the 192.168.1.XXX port (make it 0.0.0.0). There can only be one gateway and it must be the the port you wish to use as the WAN.

It's currently trying to route your email out the first port, which won't work.

This was the solution. Thankyou!
