SINEMA RC configuration example: Remote Service for series machine builders

The application presented here demonstrates a typical teleservice application for series machine builders using SINEMA Remote Connect, consisting of a service center and a factory with several identical machines.

The SINEMA Remote Connect Server is installed on a PC and can be used regardless of location, provided there is a connection to the Internet. This is where the devices and users, as well as the encrypted tunnel connections (VPN) are managed.

Every machine in the factory is connected via an internal port to a SCALANCE S615, and a VPN connection is set up to the SINEMA Remote Connect Server via an external port. The Service Center is connected via a PC with the SINEMA RC Client to the SINEMA Remote Connect Server.

SINEMA Remote Connect checks the incoming connections and enables the Service Center to access the corresponding machine.

Even identical networks in the machines can be managed by means of routing / NAT. In this way, individual devices can be conveniently selected from a device list with a single mouse click using SINEMA RC Client.
