I got the thing to talk in the end

Hi all, I ended up with an IXON vpn which allows me to connect to FX5u with GXWorks Only problem now is how to get MXSheets to connect through it! I cant seem to get MXComponent set up right so it will find PLC Anyone used MXSheets remotely through a VPN?

Hi all, I have a program I am editing in ladder mode It is getting quite large, nearly 30k steps now At some point after a continuous paste (I think) the editing has become glitchy If you try and change an item it inserts the new one and keeps the old one It puts in horizontal and vertical lines seemingly randomly which you have to play around to delete before conversion It is only this one program I tried editing on 2 pc's, no different I cant find anything in mitsubishi manual  Has anyone else had same issue? Thanks in advance  

Thanks for all your help on this I have asked Ewon for a starter kit There is a tosibox type here too which I will look in to  

Sadly we are a small company so no such luxury of having an IT dept! I am glad clever people like you can advise me I am not missing something in the settings I will look into VPN's Whatever they are! thanks again!  

Thanks pturmel, So it wasn't that simple then like the salesman suggested! best to set up a laptop with plc connected with team viewer or something like that by sounds of it?    

Thank you glavanov, That is a good tutorial I wish I had seen that earlier but I have connected to PLC with ethernet network already and that works fine   I want to know how to set up communications so I can monitor a PLC over the internet in another location eg. I am in london and I have another site in Glasgow I want to monitor a PLC in Glasgow from London and alter a few D registers I think this is possible? Thanks again Chris    

Hi all, Sorry I am more of an oily rag but I do use PLC's too (badly) I can connect to a FX5u PLC through an ethernet switch and log data into MXSheets on an ethernet connected PC which works fine It isn't obvious how to set it up for remote internet access but I was told it is easy enough Does anyone have an example configuration? Thanks in advance!
