PLC data communication is usually conducted via wired connections, which can be cumbersome over long distances. To address this issue, a new solution is adopted: using Huachen Zhitong's HiNet industrial intelligent gateway, a dedicated remote communication gateway for PLCs, enables wireless communication between the PLC and computer programming software, between the PLC and computer configuration software, and between the PLC and a human-machine interface touchscreen.
In many situations, when there are numerous monitoring points, wireless communication can save companies significant costs and offer greater flexibility. Furthermore, in practical systems, many control rooms and field user equipment are located in different areas. The HiNet industrial intelligent gateway can enable long-distance data transmission and remote equipment monitoring by facilitating remote communication between PLCs distributed in different locations and the configuration software in the central control center.
Option 1: Wireless communication between configuration software and remote PLC
It supports wireless communication between mainstream configuration software such as KingSCADA, MCGS Kunlun Tongtai, and WinCC, and PLCs from Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron. The HiNet industrial intelligent gateway enables remote operation of PLC devices via configuration software.
Option 2: Wireless communication between touchscreen and remote PLC

The following functions can be achieved using HiNet for remote PLC communication:
1. Enable remote control of industrial field equipment
2. Enable remote firmware upgrades for devices.
3. Enable remote programming and debugging of PLCs in industrial settings.
4. Enable remote control of industrial field touch screens
5. Enable remote mapping of industrial site configuration screens
6. Enables hardware parsing of mainstream protocols for PLCs such as Siemens and Mitsubishi.
7. Can be flexibly connected to various device management platforms
8. Can communicate remotely with multiple PLCs or touch screens simultaneously.
