Capabilities

Remote service for controllers and operator panels

An IoT M2M connection lets an engineer reach site devices as defined in the network design. It can support HMI viewing, PLC diagnostics, fault analysis, parameter changes and programming.

Access is granted to specific resources and can be logged. Devices stay inside the private APN while the user connection runs through a controlled tunnel.

PLC

Diagnose program state, I/O and industrial communications.

HMI

Remote screen viewing and operation within the agreed scope.

Site network

Check device availability, addressing and industrial connections.

Key capability

Layer-2 access — even before an IP is assigned

In the appropriate design, the link can carry Layer-2 Ethernet traffic. A remote device then appears as if it were on the same local network, enabling discovery protocols and access by MAC address.

This helps during first commissioning, controller replacement or diagnosis of a device with an incorrect IP configuration. Availability is confirmed during project design.

  1. Identify devices, protocols and required engineering tools.
  2. Select the router, M2M SIM and private addressing scheme.
  3. Configure the APN, tunnel and device access rules.
  4. Test the real diagnostic and programming workflow before acceptance.
Control

Access for authorised users only

The controller has no publicly exposed port. Users connect through an agreed authentication mechanism, while network rules limit the devices and services they can reach.

Logging, user roles and access schedules are tailored to the deployment. The design can work with the client platform or the EU Cloud environment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a PLC be programmed remotely?

Yes, provided that the protocol, engineering software and device architecture are included in the access design.

Must PLC ports be opened to the internet?

No. The device remains in a private network and access runs through a controlled connection.

Can access work without a known IP address?

A Layer-2 option can support MAC-level access and discovery protocols. It requires the correct end-to-end design.

Can access be temporary?

Yes. Roles and rules can be aligned with the service process and the client's policy.
