So the line of data flow would be:
Red Lion HMI >> Ethernet Cable >> Switch >> Ethernet Cable >> Modem >> Cellular Network >> Database >> Ignition
We’re talking Ethernet and not Serial, I know that for sure. Essentially, I’m trying to use the I/O input modules on the HMI, so that we do not have to use excessive amounts of I/O modules separate from the HMI. Red Lion claims that they can talk remotely to their screens, so I am in the process of trying to figure that out as well to see if I am able to speak remotely to it at all. If I can get the web server working, then at least I will know if I am able to talk remotely to it or not.
