Hello,
We have several different types of PLC's in our factory. In a start-up phase of a new machine, we grant permission for the manufacturer to access the machine PLC via internet.
With Siemens Simatic STEP 7 and Simatic Teleservice, the manufacturer can access our networked PLC from his/her PC from anywhere via some RAS arrangement (Remote Access Service) provided by our IT departement. We (the customer) do not even need the Step 7 suite.
With RSLogix 5000 and Allen Bradley PLC’s this is not possible according to Rockwell. Why? The only solution we found is to have one local PC with an activated RSLogix installed for each corresponding PLC. Very inconvenient and very expensive!
Suggestions anyone?
