Omron wireless communication

4 posts in this topic

Hi, have anybody with any success tried wireless communication between Omron PLCs and CX-programmer? I recently tried to connect a wireless router configured as an access point to the hub that is usually between the laptop and the PLC, but with no success :) I did not put too much effort in it at this stage though...

I connect regularly to Omron PLCs on Ethernet through a wireless router. My normal configuration is PC to Router on wireless, and then router to PLC is wired. I have also put the PLC on a wireless access point, with no problems.

Any special settings? Do you use the same subnet as your "regular" LAN/internet connection, or are just the PC and PLCs on net?

The PLC is on the same segment (same first 3 octets and same subnet mask). When it is setup properly, the PLC has no way of knowing that it is on a wireless LAN.
