Selecting the best remote access solution for your application
PLCs, DCSs & Controllers printer friendly version Selecting the best remote access solution for your application In today’s Internet of Things (IoT) world, remote mobile access is a necessity for many industrial applications. There are several ways of implementing this connectivity with routers and virtual private networks (VPNs). Three of the most popular methods are: • Standard router (without VPN). • Traditional VPN router. • Cloud-hosted VPN router.

Selecting HMI remote access options
Mobile human-machine interface (HMI) access is a necessity for many industrial automation applications, and two typical methods exist to implement this connectivity with routers and virtual private networks (VPNs): Standard router without VPN Cloud-hosted VPN router. The first is a standard router, and although it is not secure, it is still used in many existing mobile HMI applications, and even in some newer ones.
Secure remote connections with cloud technologies
Cloud technologies enable remote connectivity for industrial applications, but can introduce security issues unless built from the ground up with cybersecurity in mind. See top five cybersecurity issues to address. These AutomationDirect StrideLinx VPN routers provide built-in firewall protection to isolate machine level LAN and companywide WAN networks, and optional 4G connectivity, enabling cloud-based remote access and simplifying implementation.

Working with the cloud
Using the cloud for data logging and remote access can improve operations, cut costs and simplify interactions. Implementing cloud-based remote access is often the first step to implementing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 applications for improved data visualization. This article discusses best practices for logging data to the cloud using suitable protocols, and covers functions such as math manipulations and notifications.

Take Better Adventure Photos: Shooting in Low Light in the Mountains
Like many “pros” out there, I’m a self-taught photographer—after all photography itself is not that complicated. Over the years I’ve become a lot more efficient at capturing the outdoors, but my style has never changed. Everyone has his or her own style, and that’s not something that should be force fed. But underneath every personal taste there are always going to be universal “laws” and tricks that photographers use to make great images.
