Hello,
I got control network (PLC+HMI+Servos) connected with switch. Now I need to connect this PLC(L24ER) with costumer network.
These are possibilities I can think of:
1. Use layer 3 switch, which got routing capabilities (for example Stratix 8000, but it costs around 4000!)
2. Use simple industrial switch and router
3. Use just router (I'm worried about network performance)
4. Use some external Ethernet card, which can communicate with PLC (add-on)
5. Use L30ER PLC and aditional EtherNet/IP module (1768-ENBT) (I don't know if there could be two different networks in one PLC)
What do you recommend me as right solution and most cost effective one?
Thank you
Petr
