Remotely connect to Siemens equipment in minutes

The powerful Netbiter feature “Remote Access” allows you to open up a secure connection to remote Siemens Automation equipment, and configure, program or operate it using TIA portal™ or Step7™ from any location, just like being on-site.

Remote access provides a secure data tunnel to the remotely located equipment. This Netbiter Argos™ feature is used together with the New Netbiter EasyConnect EC300-series communication gateway.

Remote programming Siemens SIMATIC PLCs

With a Netbiter EasyConnect EC300-series gateway connected to any Siemens branded PLC, it is possible to perform remote debugging or programming of the PLC from any location.

"Netbiter Quick Connect" is a software program which you install on your office computer. This opens up a secure tunnel to a Netbiter EC300-series gateway which is connected to your remote device on site.

The tunnel is set up through the Netbiter Argos data center (www.netbiter.net). Once the tunnel is established, PLC programmers or machine owners can simply open your regular Siemens configuration software (TIA portal, Step7) and configure or debug just as if they were on site.

How it works 

The examples below show how to access Siemens PLCs remotely using Netbiter. After you have installed the Netbiter Quick Connect Tool on your local PC, you can easily establish a secure communication channel through the internet to access your PLC on site.

The Netbiter solution works with the TIA portal as well as the STEP 7 Manager and you can use these powerful tools in the same way as if the PLC would be locally connected to your PC.

Most Siemens PLCs that provide a Profinet or Ethernet interface (i.e S7-1200 and 1500 family) can be connected directly to the Netbiter gateway. Older versions (i.e S7-300 family) can be connected via their MPI/Profibus interface and an additional MPI-Adapter. 

The proceedure - How to access a Siemens PLC and devices remotely within minutes

Step 1: Connect a Netbiter gateway

Both serial RS232/485 and Ethernet LAN connections are possible between the gateway and PLC or device. Only an Netbiter EC300 series gateway supports Remote Access.

Step 2: Create a Netbiter Argos account

Go to www.netbiter.net and set up your account. Enter the device ID and activation code you received in your Netbiter product box.

Step 3: Enable Remote Access

Your new gateway needs to be enabled for Remote Access. You do this the first time you log into Netbiter Argos.

Step 4: Download Quick Connect

Download and run Netbiter Quick Connect. You can download it from here.

Step 5: Enter IP addresses

Via the Network Bridge connection method you need to know your own IP address, your Netmask, and the IP address for the machine you are connecting.

Step 6: Start your Siemens software

When the tunnel is open, you can use TIA portal or Step7 to configure as usual, just as if you were on site.
