This might be a little off-topic, but i figure if anyone knows the answer, this forum will.
Currently I have 4 DH+ networks in my plant, which go back to 2 DHRIO cards in a Clx chassis. There is also an ENBT card in the chassis. The ENBT card is connected to our company ethernet system.
My question is, has anyone heard of, or even know if it is possible to hack into the corporate network via the DH+ networks? The reason I ask is that I am being told I must segregate the PLCs from the main network (not a bad idea anyway) but we have a SCADA system that needs to collect data from the PLCs as well as be on the main network to send e-mail/generate reports to network drives.
It seems to me that the DH+ network is like any other external device and I would doubt that it could be used to steal data or corrupt the network.
