Title: establishing a plc connection through a allen bradley 1783-NATR
Post by: paulfletch on May 15, 2019, 09:09:42 PM

Hi, I cannot establish a plc connection through a Allen Bradley 1783-NATR unit. Not sure if it is possible.
iam using the clxdriver we purchased and it works fine with a connection outside of this device.
The network translation device is needed because we have a private plc network and are giving our IT network access to a few plc values through this device. Thanks.

What does it look like when you view the PLC in RSWho? I am thinking it may require a special RoutePath

According to this, it does need a route path set:

Thanks Archie, we ended up removing the NATR unit and set up a few VPN tunnels to achieve the same outcome. Thanks for your time.
