Hello Hristo (and others), That is not exactly what I'm looking for. Sorry ifit wasn't clearly enough. We do have a VPN-connection to the network of the customer. For these connections (more then one customer with each of them demanding requirements ) we do have virtual machines. These machines are configured for the client-specific demands. => office network - VPN - to client network (IP:172.x.x.x) - The advantage of this connection is we don't have to change the settings in the project. - The disadvantage is (of course) that it is time-consuming before we are online. BUT we have a site-to-site connection as well over the network of our department responsible for the WMS. And that connection is available as a IP:10.y.y.y, so office-network - WMS-department - client. For this network it is necessary to change the IP-address in the PLC if we want to connect. - The advantage of this connection is the time-saving before we are online. - The disadvantage is (of course) that we have to change the settings in the project. So, that is why we found the solution of the "virtual-network-card". But the problem with that solution is the download of the configuration into the PLC. Because the network-module is not present, the EXTF-led will be illuminated. Is there a way to swith that EXTF-led off? (Only in case the led is switched on for the missing network-module, os course). regards, Willie |

Hello, To your question: "Is it possible to have these 2 IP-addresses in 1 PLC-hardware-configuration?" I just want to point that in setp7 V5.5 you can define an Access Address for a program folder, which is an address different from the IP of the CPU in HWconfig. See attachment. Step7 will try to access the PLC with this address instead of the one assigned to the CPU. AttachmentAccess address.pdf (172 Downloads) |
