I have a machine running using: CLX and FlexIO on an ethernet/ip network. I have a request in to allow remote (operator/hmi) access to the system. The machine is in a remote area and thus a cellular type connection would have to be made.
Here are my thoughts:
Install a cellular router in the machine, allow a remote user to vpn in and use the factorytalk station on their laptop to control the machine.
This seems rather straightforward. Is there something I am missing? Does anyone have recommendations on the router? How do I go about getting a SIM card for such a device (operating in the United States).
Thank you for any information you can provide.
