  • 2 Typical Methods of bridging IT Network and Control Network

    While implementing MES projects, I always spent lots of time discussing how to bridge IT Network and Control Network.

    Practically, Network team will isolated Control Network from IT Network, such as using VLAN to separate them.

    MES works in IT Network, and PLC works in Control Network, and they need to exchange data, so we need to bridge these 2 networks.

    Here I list out 2 typical methods based on my practice.

    Method 1: Using Communication Panel

     

    From above diagram, we can see that each PLC works inside Vendor’s private Control Network via CPU port.

    The additional CP(Communication Panel) provides an IP address working inside IT Network.

    With this method, we add CP for each PLC which needs to talk to IT applications.

    Actually some advanced PLC(such as Siemens 317/319/1516/1518) has 2+ PN/IE ports, which means we can use 1 port for Control Network and 1 port for IT Network.

    But in practice, we might still use Communication Panels, because CP provides better PLC functions and better communication capacity.

    Method 2: NAT

    NAT = Network Address Translation

     

    From above diagram, we can see that an NAT Router is added between Control Network Switch and IT Core Switch, so each device’s IP address which matches Route Table will be translated into IT IP address.

    Normally route table is defined for a range of IP address, so not only PLC, but also HMI and Robot and other devices will be translated into IT Network.

    Comparison:

    Method

    Advantage

    Disadvantage

    CP

    Data secure

    Network isolated

    More hardware investment

    More Cabling work

    NAT

    Cheap

    Less cabling work

    Less data secure

    Network crossed
