Industrial networks
Connection of industrial networks
A factory wide I/O network should be connected to the WAN port on the controller,
or to the LAN port if the I/O network needs to be isolated from the network already
connected to WAN.
Note
It is not supported to connect multiple ports of the OmniCore controller to the
same external switch unless static VLAN isolation is applied on the external
switch.
Note
Private Network segments of multiple controllers cannot be connected to each
other.
Combined industrial networks
There are many possible solutions of combined industrial networks. For example,
the robot controller can be both master and slave on the Public Network as well
as master on the Private Network.

This can be implemented by setting up an EtherNet/IP adapter on the Public Network
and an EtherNet/IP scanner targeting both the Public and Private Networks at the
same time. The traffic for both industrial networks on the Public Network can share
the ethernet medium with each other and with other non-industrial network traffic.
