Hi!
I have been tasked with getting RSLogix 500 to talk to our a remote a Micrologix 1100 PLC via the internet.
Incidentally, no probs with doing similar thing when everything is on local ethernet, just can't make things
work over the net.
To summarise the picture so far :
1) I have opened up router firewall to ports 2222 & 44818
2) Same ports have been forwarded in router to PLC internal fixed IP address, in my case to 192.168.1.100
3) I have tried starting a session with RSLinx, using Ethenet device, and using WAN IP address, and have
used the EIP technique, ie. configured IP is 118.xx.xxx.xx:EIP
4) I am using v 2.52.0017 (CPR 9) of RSLinx Classic Lite
5) When I attempt to connect via RSLogix 500, I get a node showing the IP above, with a yellow '?' icon with
a red cross through it, and the words 'unrecognized device'
Is this ever going to work ? Am I using wrong version of RSLinx here, do I need to upgrade or something ?
Is there anything I am missing in terms of router configs ?
I see some people mention a VPN .. is that what I need to do ?
Many thanks in advance for any help with this at all.. I'm at my wits end!
