Connection using a separate network
This type of connection is used when Internet access through the existing factory
network is not allowed. This could be due to IT requirements such as separation
of network and/or separation of traffic between Production traffic and Service traffic.
The network technology allows multiple communications through the same network,
but some users prefer separate network.

• In this case, a switch is needed to reuse the existing physical connection to
the LAN inside the Robot Controller and to split between robot LAN and
Service Box WAN.
• In some cases, a switch already exists and can be reused instead of installing
a specific one.
• This type of connection creates a separate local network across service
boxes connected to the Internet gateway.
• In this case, no switch is required in the Robot Controller. Two cables are
connected to the Controller; one to the factory network and the other to the
service network.
