When I connect directly hard wired to this PLC, I can successfully connect to it. In this direct connection, when I go to "Accessible devices", I see 3 options via PN/IE:
1) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260
2) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-LM
3) PLCSIM
and the only method that works for me is when I select "Ethernet Connection (2) I219-LM", and when I press the "Start Search" my PLC populates.
This PLC has the IP address 172.19.48.125. The subnet mask and Gateway/Route address corresponding to our network protocol in our plant. However, when I go and connect this PLC to a network-switch which is connected to a network drop coming from our Server room. (On this network-switch I have other Allen Bradley PLCs too). When I ping the Siemens PLC new address, I get a reply.
The issue is when I try to connect TO this PLC from my Wireless card on my laptop. This time, I can only select two options via PN/IE
1) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260
2) PLCSIM
I proceed to select my Wireless Adapter from my laptop ("Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260"), but when I press the "Start Search" button, and nothing comes up. Is there a different procedure in connecting to this PLC via WiFi? (Via Wifi, I am able to access Allen Bradley, and Omron PLCs this way and going online with it, but not Siemens).
Any recommendations on what to do on this case? I would very much appreciate your help.
Thank you.
