I just explain one more time, our school is inside the campus university in China.

Actually in Beckhoff PLC, we can just installing Teamviewer VPN on Beckhoff IPC (PLC) directlyĪnd then make a connection without using a remote PC.Thank you. If you have some other questions - feel free to ask :) And yeah, I didn't have 2 network adapters on the remote PC as it is stated in the PDF, remote PC and PLC are both connected to an ordinary ethernet switch.Įverything else - done as it is stated in the PDF (enabling IP routing in the registry, installing Teamviewer VPN driver on both machines and adding static IP route on programming PC). Only difference is the last step - in TwinCAT System Manager when you go to "Add Route Dialog" you have to enter IP address of the PLC in the "Enter Host Name / IP:" field and click on the button (not "Broadcast Search" as if you are searching for the PLCs in the LAN). It works like a charm - I just followed the steps from the PDF you attached.

I was also interested if this works and had 2 Beckhoff PLCs (Panel PC CP6606 and CP2611) to try this method. Like I said, this isn't necessary - my remote PC has one Ethernet network card connected to the switch which is connected to a 3G/4G router so my remote PC has internet connection through this router. The remote PC is connected to the internet, via the second network card, typically connected to the company office-LAN." The remote PC is connected to the machine or process LAN, via the first Ethernet card, with a fixed IP address. I forgot one last thing, after the PLC is found by the IP address you entered manually, before clicking "Add Route" you have to select "IP Address" instead of "Host Name" (see the attached picture).Īs for the other question, the Siemens PDF states: "There will be two Ethernet network cards in the remote PC. Why? I didn't dig that deep into it - you'll have to answer Beckhoff staff specifically about that. You intend :2 Adapters on Remote PC or on Local PC which contains the engineering software tools?įace Book, I had to manually enter the IP address - broadcast search didn't work for me. " I didn't have 2 network adapters on the remote PC" 3-Why do you not select: Broadcast Search ?
