Hi Communitiy, im using a AS remote connection to connect to a X20CP1686X through a Win10 PC. Im in Run in AS, but cant watch any Variables in SAFEDesigner. Is there any way to establisch such a connection? Using AS6.3.4.31(localy) and PVI6.0.2.50 (Win10-PC). KR and Thanks!

Hi guys, I just wanted to shortly share the solution to this. I have create a port-forwarding script on the windows host. X20PLC ip: 10.10.0.20 (Im using mappSafety → this requires to forward also 52000 in order to be able to operate the remote control dialog) For some internal reason i had to p…

Hi, as I understood you’re using a Windows pc as remote endpoint, from where the online protocols have to be forwarded to the plc and the safe logic? And you’re able to access the plc via AutomationStudio, but not the safe logic via safe designer? Am I right? If yes, can you please give us more de…

Okay, got it! Unfortunately I can’t deliver a “full-featured solution”, but at least I think I understood the cause and can try to explain it. SafeDesigner uses a different protocol (and tcp port) then Automation Studio / PVI. Using PVI, only the PLC online protocol (ANSL) is handled, the safe de…

Thank you for your detailed explanation regarding this topic. I will try to play around with port-forwarding. Ill post the solution here if i find something. BR

Relevant default ports, you should try: Port Protocol type Description Configuration options 52000 + SafeDOMAIN ID - 1 TCP Remote control connection in SafeDESIGNER for mapp Safety Project engineering of a SafeLOGIC module 50000 TCP SPROXY port for SafeDESIGNER-to-SafeLOGIC communication M…

Hi @Kenan_Dautovic , I have marked answer from Alex as a possible solution. Still curious if you can confirm that this was the solution for your topic?

Correct! The Win10-PC is my remote endpoint running PVI on it. AS connection to the PLC is already working. Safedesigner to SPLC is not. No VPN tunnel/port forwarding is setup on the remote endpoint.

Here is the connection:
