Integrated with each PLC are communication processors that canbe used for connectivity to the network and to a GSM modem. The communication processor module (Ethernet module) used in this work, providesan industrial

Current impleme
10、ntations of remote PLC monitor and control use dedicated PCs or web servers connected to the PLC. Fig. 1 illustrates a common architecture used in industry. As shown, PLCs are connected to the network through a computer. The PLC system is usually interfaced to this computer using the serial Port or
11、Profibus. These types of systems are disadvantaged by the dedicated use of a PC to access the PLC system. The architecture also does not make use of the advents and strides made in areas such as telecommunications and web technology.In recent years and due to the ever increasing capabilities of PC c

Typically, these systems are based on the clientserver architecture while securing communication using the T

This remote accessibility provides several advantages over more traditional solutions. For example, a problem can ea

These PLCs have an integrated communication processor that can be used to provide accessibility to the internet. The monitoring and control can be accomplished in a wired or wireless environment, via a
