Hello again all,
This is sort of a follow-up to my last question a few months ago.
Here is my situation:
I have a LAN with an IP scheme of 192.168.127.xxx.
I have a small PLC network with a scheme of 10.56.1.xxx (Compactlogix & PointIO)
I have a Moxa NAT-102 device which I am hoping to use to make this exchange. I am building a SCADA system that needs to live on the LAN, but view tags on the PLC network.
I can configure the NAT ports to match their respective networks (internal=PLC netowrk=10.56.1.200, external=LAN=192.168.127.250).
I can ping and communicate with the NAT easily. But I have no idea how to get RSLinx to talk through the NAT and view the PLC IPs on the network. For that matter, I can't even ping them through the NAT.
The Moxa dashboard shows that I have the two NAT ports assigned and that they are both active. When I unplug the PLC network from the NAT, the dashboard responds accordingly.
Any thoughts on how to communicate and/or ping the PLCs through the NAT? I'm at a loss here....
Thanks in advance, this form has been a fantastic resource thus far.
Cheers!
