Network Address Translation

Network address translation (NAT) enables a single device to act as an agent

between the public network (commonly the plant network) and the private

network (machine network). This facilitates communication between a group of

computers with preset IP addresses on a private network by mapping each preset

IP address to a valid IP address on the public network.

These are two types of NAT implementations:

• One-to-many—Multiple nodes are mapped to a single public identity to

get onto the Internet, such as in a home network. This type of

implementation conserves public IP addresses and offers some protection

against attacks from the Internet.

• One-to-one—Each node on the network translates to another identity on

another network. This type of implementation is used in manufacturing to

integrate machinery onto a larger network without requiring addressing

changes at the machine level.
