Hi, I understood that data is successfully transferred from a PC to the RevPi.
However, it is still unclear to me which application takes care of collecting the data from a second PLC.
Could you share more information about your setup?
For example, a network topology and a diagram with the communication partners and interfaces? So I understand that SSH is in use, but I don't understand what the actual goal of the application is.

Hi Dirk,
I don't familiar use this RevPi, this is the first time for me.
I plan to use SSH to collect the data from both PLC, is it will work ?
The network will be like these : Both PLC connect to ethernet hub - from hub connect to port A RevPi - from port B RevPi connect to PC.
The goal is to collect data from machine 1 (PLC1) and machine 2 (PLC2) to the PC (monitoring from control room).

Thanks

Hi du wi, How do the PLCs communicate with the RevPi? Is there a SSH interface or is that an idea?
Should the RevPi be integrated e.g. as PROFINET slave? Yes then e.g. purchase a Codesys license.
