I have a machine that is controlled by a micrologix 1200. It is currently setup with a net/aic to a 5 port ethernet switch. There is also a panel view connected to the ethernet switch. In our maintenance office, we have a pc with a KTX card that is online with 2 PLC5/40's. I can go online with the 5/40's from home via VPN. I would like to hook the micrologix up to this PC so I can monitor from home as well. I would perfer to not have the micrologix part of the plants ethernet network though. What is needed to hook up the micro to the PC without being part of the ethernet network, but so I can still VPN to the PC?
I hope my babbling makes sense to everyone.
