How to Connect Omron NX1P2 PLC to Network via Ethernet for Remote Access

Question:

Hello, as a novice, I am looking to establish a connection with the NX1P2 PLC by using an ethernet cable to join it to the network. My goal is to access the PLC remotely, ideally wirelessly, in order to transfer files. I am using a direct ethernet cable connection to my PC for on-site file transfers on a weekly basis, but I am uncertain if Sysmac Studio supports this type of connection. If there is a solution available, please provide me with the necessary information.

For those new to remote connections, Omron's RT100 is a highly recommended device to consider. With the RT100, beginners can receive comprehensive support and guidance from Omron for seamless remote connectivity.

Sure, you can definitely establish remote connection to your NX1P2 PLC using Sysmac Studio. Omron provides an MX2 Direct Ethernet mode in Sysmac Studio that allows communication over direct Ethernet connection. To go wireless, you might need to incorporate a reliable and robust VPN setup to maintain the connection stability. For file transfer, FTP server setup could be a plausible approach. Always ensure that you maintain necessary security protocols to prevent unauthorized access to your PLC.
