About the PLX35-NB2 Network Bridge

The PLX35-NB2 Network Bridge is the ideal solution for system integrators,
machine builders, and OEMs requiring remote system access for commissioning,
troubleshooting, or network maintenance.
During the commissioning phase, a network bridge is deployed on site with
automation equipment. Once the equipment is installed and ready for
configuration and programming, the bridge allows the user to remotely access
the network to commission, maintain, and troubleshoot the system, thereby
reducing travel time costs.
By deploying a network bridge to an existing network, the network bridge allows
access from anywhere by authorized personnel. In the event of unscheduled
downtime, an authorized user can connect to the network to minimize downtime
and loss of profit.
Module configuration and remote connections are accomplished through ProSoft
Connect, ProSoft Technology's secure, cloud-native platform for the Industrial
Internet of Things (IoT).
The PLX35-NB2 allows users to:

Securely connect to remote devices from any PC without having to use a 3
party software application

Locally control the VPN connection through an EtherNet/IP® message.
The PLX35-NB2 provides 2 Ethernet ports. One port is used for the local network
requiring remote access. The second port is used to connect to the internet.
