You have a few options. 

1) Make all you I.P. Addresses the same. 10.10.1.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx

2) Add a managed switch. We use the Allen Bradley 9300-ENA for a 1:1 mapping. Then map the 192.168.1.xxx to the 10.10.1.xxx network

If you have an IT group that is responsible for your facility network I would get them involved. They can give you a pool of addresses for the control network that are excluded from the DHCP pool. I'm assuming that your network is behind a router and properly secured from intruders.
