Hi,
I have a Flexy205 connected, via Ethernet/IP, to three machines with Rockwell PLC and from which I collect data through specific Flexy tags.
The customer asks me to be able to collect this data through his LAN where a M.E.S. (Manifacturing Execution System) application is connected.
Since the three LAN ports of the Flexy205 are already used to connect to the three machines and the WAN port is connected to the customer network for Internet access, what must the customer do to be able to access the data?
Does he have to install an ethernet switch on one of the 3 LAN ports and then connect a machine and its MES application from this?
Can he uses the WAN port to access the data, as it is already connected to the customer’s LAN network?
Thanks.
