PLC and HMI Remote Access via MOXA

OnCell Devices
Page |2

Introduction:
This document was written to provide you with an example configuration that will allow
you to remotely access, program, and control a C-more operator interface and a DirectLogic PLC
using MOXA’s OnCell G3110 Cellular IP Gateways. These procedures can be applied to any
application which requires access to a remote LAN within a cell tower reception zone.

OnCell Setup with C-More and DL06 PLC


This configuration will enable the following features over the cellular network:

1. Web Services on the C-More Panel


2. Remote Access and control on the C-More Panel
3. FTP services on the C-More Panel
4. Application Transfer to C-More Panel
5. PLC programming and monitoring with DirectSoft

System Overview:
Hardware:

1. OnCell G3110 Industrial quad-band GSM Cellular IP gateways


2. EDS-205 5 Port Unmanaged Ethernet Switch
3. EA7-T8C 8” C-More Panel (any size is acceptable)
4. D0-06DR DL06 PLC
5. H0-ECOM100 Ethernet Communication Module
(Please note: This configuration can be used with any AutomationDirect PLC including
DL205 and the Productivity 3000, the DL06 is used here for demonstrative purposes)

Items to Complete before configuration:


1. Program PLC
2. Program C-More (with Remote Access, please see the C-more Remote Access Tutorial)
3. Contact CrossBridge Solutions to setup account and obtain SIM card
4. Install SIM card in OnCell 3110

Addresses for our configuration:

Device Name IP Address


OnCell G3110 192.168.127.254 (default)
EA7-T8C (C-more) 192.168.127.101
DL06 (or other PLC) 192.168.127.100

OnCell Configuration Steps:


1. Setup IP Address – “Basic Network Settings”
2. Configure GPRS APN – “GSM GPRS Settings”
3. Setup Port Forwarding – “Virtual Server Settings”

To configure the OnCell 3110 you must be plugged into the local network. Plug into EDS-
205 to and bring up Internet Explorer. Type in the IP address 192.168.127.254. The Moxa
configuration should appear. If you wish to change the IP address of the OnCell this can be
done in the “Basic Network Settings” as seen below. We left the default IP address for our
application.

CrossBridge Solutions will supply you with an APN name that must be entered into the
OnCell device before it will communicate with CrossBridge. Enter the APN name in the GSM
GPRS Settings as shown below:

Finally setup port forwarding in the Virtual Server Settings as shown here:

C-More Programming software modification:


To enable the C-More software to transfer the application over this network the ea_.ini
needs to be modified to add three commands. The file is located in the C-More Software
directory and can be found in a location similar to this (Win XP): C:\Program
Files\AutomationDirect\C-more.

Please add the highlighted lines to your .ini file:

Now you are done and you can start communicating to your C-More!
