Hello Everyone,
I currently have a few machines which run independently of each other mainly using Allen Bradley micro850's I aim to get them to a central location to eventually collect data from them.
The current setup is the Micro850’s to a Stratix unmanaged switch which then goes to a HMI and a few powerflex’s.
My main question is what’s the best way of getting the PLC’s linked to a central location.
After doing some research I understand it’s best to keep the machines on their own VLAN which I understand and from reading seems easy enough to do. However, how do I allow only the PLC to speak to the L3 switch?
Edit:
After more research, I think the 1783-NATR could resolve this issue, opinions?
