Remote Programming and Monitoring

Boyko · Feb 6, 2006

In the Omron's manual I've read that the PLC can be programmed and monitored remotely through a modem or Controller Link network.
Can you recommend a modem (manufacturer/model) for doing that.

Hello Boyko,
Try Westermo -
https://www.westermo.com/Resource.phx/content/uk/index.htx

...and if you use CX-Modem, Omrons Modem Support Tool (a free download from Omron European site),
http://www.omron-industrial.com/

it comes pre-loaded with the settings required for using these modems with Omron PLCs.

If cost is an issue then get a USR56K external. It works the same as any other modem.

You will have to set it up but after you've done it once you'll not need to re-learn this again.

Very true Pierre,
The Westermos are not cheap, but they are industrially 'ruggedized' (is there such a word?), and galvanically isolated, so well suited for life in a control panel.
