WECON remote access
1 WECON Technology Co., Ltd.
1. General
In the traditional concept, it is rather cumbersome and complex to remotely connect HMI via
Ethernet. Users not only to consider the security issue, but also to set up complex network
parameters. In addition, subject to the stage of the network environment, users have to do
everything possible to think of ways through all levels of routers and switches. And an independent
IP can only correspond to one HMI in tradition sense of the remote control. The WECON remote
access system will solve all of those problems.
The solution of WECON HMI remote access is “Everything is possible with one network, one HMI,
one cable,” No matter where in the HMI, users can easily remote access HMI through the network,
to achieve exclude exceptions and resolve them in the first time. In local area network or in remote
Internet, users could make HMI connect to Ethernet by one cable without setting any parameters.
All complex network settings could be set by WECON remote access system.
1.1 System Features
1) No need to set any proxy servers, routers, or switches, simply connect one cable for Ethernet
2) Grading management of multiple HMI, easy maintenance and operation;
3) A variety of access mode, easy to use;
4) Multiple users could access one HMI at the same time;
5) A secure connection;
1.2 System components
1) WECON PI Series HMI (PI3000 can’t support remote access);
2) WECON Smart APP or WECON Cloud platform

model (such as PI8070-R) into Device list without restrictions.
2.3 Customers Center
Figure 2-5
Users could click the left top corner into
Customers Center; there are 5 items, the
interface as Figure 2-5 shows.

Figure 2-8
2.3.5 About
It is used for showing APP version information.
There is a LAN control button in the setting interface.
When the LAN is opened, if the network of the user's
mobile phone and the network of the screen are the
same LAN and the same network segment, the
network segment search can be added and the
screen can be quickly accessed. When closing the
LAN, if the user visits and the same screen of the
phone network can also visit, but the speed will be
slower. So using this feature depends on the user's
environment.
