Serial to Ethernet Connector for PLC/HMI remote control

PLCs and Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) are widely used by machine operators to monitor and program industrial equipment. PLCs are made of several components including sensors and an HMI allowing operators to interact with the device. Logic control and actuation devices are used to supervise machine operations.

There are some situations when you need to get remote access and control your PLC. A simple solution for remote access to RS232/485 sensors - using Serial to Ethernet Connector. If you want to integrate the remote access solution push the button below. Or read the detailed scenario.

Serial to Ethernet Connector for PLC/HMI remote control

The challenge of establishing remote PLC access

A majority of PLCs are equipped with communication ports using the RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, or Ethernet protocols. These ports are used to communicate with other PLCs or a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA).

When operators need to connect to a PLC’s HMI over the network, it requires the device to be virtualized with a specialized software solution. That’s where the Serial to Ethernet Connector will come in handy.

A streamlined solution for remote HMI and PLC control

Serial to Ethernet Connector is an efficient and effective solution for establishing PLC remote control. Simply integrate the solution with your PLC or HMI software and hardware to enable multiple users to connect to the device over an IP-based network or the Internet.

The Serial to Ethernet Connector SDK/OEM lets you remotely connect to a PLC device with the same functionality as a direct connection to your computer. Serial to Ethernet Connector can virtualize any type of equipment with serial ports and redirect it over the network without distance limitations.

Using Serial to Ethernet Connector technology enables you to customize and implement remote access capability in virtually any industrial control system. Operators can enjoy remote HMI for Windows machines and operate equipment located anywhere in the world from their desktops.

Benefits of remote PLC access Serial to Ethernet Connector

PLC software and hardware developers can add remote control functionality to their products by integrating Serial to Ethernet Connector SDK. In addition to the ability to access serial port devices over Ethernet, a LAN, or the Internet, users get benefits including:
