In order to be able to reach the PLC through the VPN tunnel, you will have to select
the appropriate Open VPN adapter in the PG/PC interface. The virtual network con

Note
: You can use either crossover or standard Ethernet cables to connect PLCs to the
REX 100 unit.

using VPN connections.

hardware project, monitoring variables, etc.).
