The PLC Online Hub can be invoked targeting an online PLC in the PLC Explorer.
Right-click on an online PLC in the PLC Explorer tab and select the Launch PLC Online Hub option in the dropdown:
Note
The PLC Online Hub dashboard only targets a single PLC. Another hub must be launched to target a different PLC.
The connection status is indicated by an icon located at the top of the page:
- "Connection Active":
- "Connection Terminated":
A user can attempt to reconnect a disconnected dashboard using the Connect button. Each reconnection attempt prompts for the PLC's authentication credentials.
The dashboard can be manually disconnected at anytime by using the Disconnect button.
WARNING
The current connection time is limited to 1 hour by the PLC Info inspect command. After that time, the hub will be automatically disconnected and must be manually reconnected using the Connect button.
