Besides a $3,000 license to purchase a RsLinx Gateway License for every remote computer network that I work on.
Is there another way to get to a PLC from a remote computer.
The computers all have 2 NIC cards,
(1 corporate network & 1 PLC network)
Is there any other software?
Or is having IT route them (when possible) the only way?
I am trying to be a bit more dynamic then filling out IT tickets
& taking 1 month for the approval of a special request.
We do install Studio5000 on the ~ 15 remote PC's
but that has issues and keeping them up to date & synchronized stinks.
. Licenses always get moved & you have to go find them.
. Maintaining Studio5000 instances stinks as you have
. to keep up on the Revisions, Firmware, EDS, AOP, drivers, etc.
. Programming remotely is no fun window in a window.
. Studio will crash & require reinstall that takes hours.
. We have one remote PC Rockwell cannot get studio to run on
. despite literally days of work.
. You take over the remote PC that people need to use.
Any ideas ?
