8.1 Remote communication

This function is XG5000 and remote control function such as program writing, user program download, program debugging,
and monitor in network system where PLC is connected by Ethernet. Especially, when the devices connected to the network
are far apart, it is a convenient function to easily access each device from one place without moving the place. XG5000
remote communication service function can be connected by creating the following logical path.

In XG5000, USB cable is connected to PLC (1) and PLC (1), PLC (2) and PLC (N) are connected to each other via Ethernet.
To access the contents of PLC (1) in the above figure, make the local connection from the online menu of XG5000 and
access the contents of PLC (1). After the connection is terminated, disconnect the PLC (1) disconnection menu to connect
with PLC (N). Then, from the online menu remote connection, PLC (N) (Ethernet module slot of PLC (1)) If you select 1) to
establish a connection, USB and Ethernet connections are established. This status supports all the functions that can be
done in PLC (1), such as creating, downloading, debugging, and monitoring programs, just as a USB cable is connected to
PLC (N). In addition, if the Ethernet module is installed on the PC where the XG5000 is operating and connected to the same
network as the PLC, remote 1 connection is possible with the PLC via Ethernet without going through the local connection
via RS-232C.
