Cyclic Remote Station Connection

Dear Community,

I have the following situation.
I have a Master PLC which has permanent access to the Network and a Remote PLC wich is connected to the same network via mobile connection. To save the amount of mobile data traffic, I want to connect to the Remote PLC just every 5 Minutes to exchange the data.
Do you have any idea if this is possible?
Thank you and best regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
I suppose you could use a timer FB to control the interval (i.e. every 5min)
