What is NAT?
Network Address Translation is a service which can translate a packet
from one IP address to another IP address.
Can be a Layer 2 or Layer 3 device Outside Subnet
Has two forms: (ex. 10.0.0.x)
One to Many (1:n) – a.k.a. TCP/UDP Port Address
Many Outside IP addresses
Translation (PAT). Allows Multiple devices to share (One per device wishing to be accessible from the Outside Subnet
one “Outside” address
One to One (1:1) – Allows for the assignment NAT Enabled Device
of a unique outside IP address to a specific
Many Inside IP addresses
inside IP address (One per connected device)
Inside Subnet
(ex. 192.168.1.x)
Inside

Why Use NAT?
Allows a single device to act as an agent between the Plant (Outside) network and the Machine
(Inside) network
Helps simplify integration of IP address mapping from a machine level IP addresses to the plant
network
Allows Machine Builders to develop standard machines and eliminate the need for unique IP
addressing and code modifications
Allows End Users to more easily integrate machines into their larger plant network without
extensive coordination with machine builders
Provides better maintainability at the machines as they remain standard
Allows for reuse of IP addresses allowing for more connected devices in a limited address pool.

Segregation
IP addresses that are not in the translations will not flood to the other side of the
network.
