I asked my manager recently if I could have remote access to the PLC, so that, if ever the need arose, I could do code updates remotely without having the need to be physically in front of the PLC. I thought this would be a good idea, particularly as I live some distance away.
However, this suggestion was met with short shrift, citing potential viruses, firewall issues etc. I can sort of see the argument, but I don't know if it is being overstated.
Do you have remote access to your PLC? What are you able to do remotely (just monitor or do updates too? Obviously, no wiring updates) & what software do you use to establish the connection?
Thanks
