Mobile HMI
Summary:
In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial automation, the integration of advanced technologies has become paramount. Imagine having the power to oversee and manage your PLC systems at the touch of your fingertips, irrespective of your physical location. One such groundbreaking advancement is the utilization of iPad application to control PLC. This transformative approach not only redefines the traditional paradigms of control systems but also introduces a new era of flexibility, accessibility, and efficiency in industrial operations.
Solution:
Through an overseas partnership, we have now able to offer a versatile HMI application that seamlessly adapts to a variety of PLC brands, including Allen Bradley, Omron, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Opto22. This software also supports Modbus TCP or RTU communication protocols, enabling connectivity with controllers from Schneider, Wago, Beckhoff, and other Modbus-enabled devices. The PLC is connected to an iPad via an Ethernet gateway, establishing an efficient communication channel for control. The iPad HMI application is designed with user-friendly features, prioritizing convenience and ease of operation. This integrated solution reflects our commitment to providing advanced and accessible technology for streamlined industrial control processes at a fraction of the standard HMI costs. It also means long lead times and setup costs are greatly reduced with replacement iPad units availiable at your local appliance store and the software backed up on the cloud.
