let me start from the two machines with siemens PLC and panel. the PLC connect to panel with MPI network. there is MMC card in each panel to log the alarm messages. the enginnering guy check the alarm messages regularly by taking out old MMC card and put new one. then read the card on his computer. now the company want monitor the alarm messages from office computer directly. i have wicc flex 2007.
another machine with AB PLC and panel. the controllogix connect to pv+ 1000 with ethernet network which compose one ethernet card(1756-enbt)on plc, one ethernet switch. they also need monitor the alarm from office computer and the custmor need monitor the alarm from remote site thorugh internet.

1. put three machines on one network
or
2. put two siemens machines on one network and the AB machine with another network.
