Just in case others may need or want this information.
So you have a Micro820 behind a router/firewall on the plant floor you need to reprogram with CCW from your house.
Here is the example:
Let's say the public IP of the router = 166.156.102.133
The LAN side of the router is 10.1.2.1 and the IP of PLC = 10.1.2.100.
You will have to port forward 44818 to 10.1.2.100.
Now in CCW add the "Ethernet Devices" driver (This driver allows CCW to see devices that are NOT on the same network)
Once this driver is added you will have to manually add the IP address of the device you want to communicate with (That will be the Public IP 166.156.102.133)
Now open up "setup connection path" and choose the new driver it will show the IP address you just added click on it so it is now in the BOX that holds the connection path. Then add a colon and 44818) this is the port number.
Click on connect and you will connect to PLC.
The AB-ETHIP driver will only communicate with device on the same network.
The AB-ETH driver will communicate will devices not on the same network.
