The technology allows machine-builders, systems integrators, OEMs and end-users to connect instantly to devices, equipment or machines from any location. It provides a secure communications tunnel for PC-based applications and allows PLC programmers and machine-owners to configure, reprogram and debug their equipment from any location, saving time and travel costs.
Users first connect a Netbiter EasyConnect 300-series gateway to their remote device or machine. The Netbiter QuickConnect PC software creates a secure tunnel to the gateway and the device/machine to which it is connected.
The secure connection is established via the cloud-based Netbiter Argos data centre. There is no need to open inbound ports in firewalls, or to set up VPN connections on site.
HMS's Netbiter remote access system can be used to configure, reprogram and debug controllers including Rockwell Allen-Bradley models
Data is encrypted both to and from the data centre. It is also possible to choose a two-step verification method (logging in with a password and also getting an SMS to verify the user’s identity). This ensures a secure data connection to the remote equipment. Because the connection is made via Netbiter Argos, which acts as a routing portal for all communications, there is no need for fixed IP addresses or to worry about holes in users’ firewalls.
