I try to establish a wireless communication for 2 PLC, is there a way to do it?
Hi,
in principle, every TCP/IP or UDP/IP based communication ca be send via a wireless connection, too.
The PLCs does not have built-in wireless capabilities. But, for example, you could use some extra hardware with a ethernet port that can be used as wireless client and connect those “gateways” to a wireless access point.
If such a solution is suitable for you, in the end depends on your concrete use-case, for example about the setup of the wifi devices (which has to be done in the devices themself), on the needed communication speed and response times, and so on.
Best regards!
Is it possible to test and simulate the connection between these 2 PLC/Programs via OPC UA in 1 Laptop, I know I can simulate and test a program in Automation Studio, but is it possible to try this communication between 2 programs?
You can launch multiple instances of ARsim on one laptop. There are a few considerations for communication - please see Multiple use of ARsim for more details
