[Video] Cloud Access explained
HMI remote access and web-based access to PLC’s web server
In this video, Job Euwes, International Sales Manager at IXON, shows the power of the Cloud Access feature on IXON Cloud.
In a previous video, Job explained how you can set up industrial remote access to create a secure connection to your machine’s PLC. With Cloud Access you get remote access to the HMI and can control the Human Machine Interface (HMI). Also remote access to the web server from the PLC using VNC, HTTP or a WS service.
HMI remote access video transcript
Hi there, I’m Job from IXON. Today I will show you Cloud Access possibilities with IXON Cloud.
Easily setup Cloud Access to control your HMI remotely or enter the web server in your PLC
Using advanced Proxy technology, the IXON Cloud streams content to users via a secure HTTPS connection. Cloud Access technology is easy to use and offers all the security benefits of a highly secured VPN, without the need to install a local VPN client.
Remote access to HMI panels via IXON Cloud
Add a service in your machine’s configuration: VNC Server, HTTP Server or a WS Server. After completing the wizard, a shortcut icon is added to your machine’s info.
Remote access, control and view the HMI from a smartphone
Besides remote access to your HMI panel, controlling or viewing the HMI from remote has never been easier. On your smartphone or web-based via browser, you can even pan and zoom, and with the keyboard, you can enter details.
Open the machine’s PLC web server through a secured HTTP connection
If you want to enter the webpage that is running in the machine or robot, we make sure that the unsafe HTTP webpage is secured through an HTTPS connection.
Your machines HMI & web servers are now on-demand accessible on any device from remote.
Now it’s time to get even more benefits of IXON Cloud. Use your machine’s data to trigger alarms (video here) and create stunning dashboards (video here).
