Hey guys,
I'm using some BasicLine unmanaged switches from Weidmuller to give my PLC and HMI access to the company network connected with a ethernet cable to their server.
(I think it would be better to have my own control network and not share the same one from my company but its the way that we do it ).
I got antenna that give us access to the company network prety much everywhere. All they need is to give them a Mac adress of the device, they add it and i can connect to the network via the antenna.
That been said,
If i wanted to connect all my PLC and HMI using WiFi and my actual antenna, what would be the best option to do it ?
Is there a way to simply provide my unmanaged switch that i use and link them like to my company antenna ? like by using my own little antenna locally to my control panel or something ?
Thanks for your suggestion!
