Thank you so much for the content. I am kind of familiar with your products but I am still confused how to pick a proper and right one for our applications that varies from one to another according to the customer networks and request. our setup / network is always Ethernet IP using switch, PLC and HMI but different customers want to be able to communicate with our PLCs to read and write data.... what would be the best way to understand what product has to be used per each allocation? Thanks.

Great topic choice and very nice explanation, I just had to work on a project that involves this a couple months ago and it took some research indeed, thanks!

Alonso, Yes, it's not a topic that has much that is specific to automation. There is a lot of NAT for IT purposes but we have particular needs in automation that weren't really addressed by others so I did this.

Alonso, It is either on our website in written form or on our website, www.rtautomation.com. I also have a newsletter I send out in the mail (or by email for those all digital people). John
