Title: Connect to a PLC through A1 port to A2 port
Post by: rcowan16 on August 10, 2022, 08:17:08 AM

have a main PLC (5069-L330ER) that is connected to our buildings Network through Ethernet port A1(10.20.110.XXX) and a bunch of others attached to A2 (192.168.1.XXX). Is there a way to connect through the A1 Port to the A2 Port to access the other PLC's using the EthernetIPforCLXCom Driver?

Any help would be appreciated.

You can do this with RSLINX. Not sure with AAHMI.

Edit:  I would say no, because with Rslinx you can go online with PLC. But I did not recall that I can tunnel thru with HMI, even with upload/download

The logic suggests that in AHMI you could try using 2 EthernetIPforCLXCom drivers, one each for your A1 and A2, and then either try using VB code in their events to regulate what should be done in each driver or just try using the ComBridge2 component found here:
