I have a requirement to connect to a Horner PLC via GSM modem at the PLC end, and preferably an analog modem at the computer end.
This is for remote programming.
First attmepts have not been succesful.
Anyone done this??

RE: connection to a PLC via GSM modem
We have several GSM and CDMA type modems in the field and they work well enough, particularly for non-critical applications such as remote programming access. What carrier are you using? What type of GSM modem?

This is not a trivial setup, especially if you also need to make the setup secure. I know been there and done that.
