Step 1: Internet Access to Router
In order for Combivis Connect to set up a VPN connection, the C6 router must have internet access. The router acts as a VPN server and assigns the user PC an IP address within the VPN network ensuring a direct end-to-end connection using secure TCP/UDP ports and SSL/TLS protocol.
Step 2: Configure LAN Interface
Assign the LAN interface an IP address within the local PLC network. All Allen Bradley PLCs using EtherNET/IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet, etc. belonging to the subnet of the LAN interface can be reached via the VPN tunnel.
Step 3: Serial Port Configuration
Allen Bradley PLCs using serial protocols such as DF1, DH+, or DH485 can also be remotely monitored and programmed. Combivis Connect uses a virtual serial adapter to map to the physical serial port of the C6 router. Select the correct port setting.
Step 4: Register Router to Domain
Before the C6 router can be connected, too, the router must be assigned to the domain of Combivis Connect. Assign the router a name, and apply the settings.
Step 5: Connect to C6 Router
Once the router has finished rebooting, the router can be connected to. Simply select the Connect button to establish a connection. Once the router is connected, the Allen Bradley PLCs can be accessed via the VPN tunnel.
Step 6: Remote Access with RSLogix
At this point, RSLogix can go online with the PLC and program in desired Controller operating mode.
