I have an application that requires access to an OPC-UA Server that is located on a different network via router(Static-IP LAN/WAN). I would like to replace the router with device that is cOPompatible with OPC-UA server connections.
Currently, I have Siemens PLC S7-1500 on the Profinet/LAN side of the router and the Host/Client Tag Server on the WAN side with a different static The WAN IP is unable to connect to the OPC-Server via the router. Siemens indicates the cause of this is because:
"This connection attempt fails with the error message …This means that either the source IP (“Source NAT”) or the destination IP (“Destination NAT”) of a packet is replaced by an IP address configured in the router (depending on the destination port). The client and server know nothing of this process. "

Does HMS have router or gateway that can remedy this problem?
