IP Address | Subnet Mask | Gateway 🔌 Explained ! | PLC to PC Communication

Ever wondered how PLCs talk to PCs? Or how devices find each other in an industrial network? 🤔

Just like a postman needs a full address to deliver your letter, your PLC, SCADA, HMI, and PC need the right IP configuration to communicate in automation networks.

In this video, we simplify three of the most essential networking terms used in industrial automation:

✅ IP Address – A device's digital address
✅ Subnet Mask – Your local communication boundary
✅ Gateway – Your route to other networks

Let’s break down these technical topics with real-world analogies that make learning fun, easy, and absolutely unforgettable! 😎

⭐ What You'll Learn:
🔹 What is an IP Address & why it's like your digital house number 🏠
🔹 Why each part of the IP stays between 0–255 📊
🔹 The purpose of Subnet Mask in limiting your search area 🛑
🔹 How Gateways help PLCs and PCs talk across different networks 🌐
🔹 Why Automation Engineers must understand IP networking 💡
🔹 Real Industrial Examples: PC–PLC Communication using IPs ⚙️

🧠 Perfect For:
👨‍🏭 Automation Engineers
👨‍💻 Engineering Students
🏭 Industrial Electricians & Technicians
📊 SCADA / HMI Developers
🔌 PLC Beginners and Networking Enthusiasts
