As a result of a project I was recently tasked with, I now have both an easy to use DLL for Automation Direct PLC communications and a small set of applications(but growing)for the Pocket PC. Applications like a Data Watch app that allows you to enter various PLC data items and watch them realtime.
The DLL supports easy to use commands from within C++ and VB such as:
PLC.Open(ID);
PLC.MemReadWord(02000);
PLC.MemWriteWord(02000);
PLC.ReadMemReal(02000);
PLC.ReadCoil(01);
etc, with a full set of commands for all datatypes.
Before I invest any further development time, now that the original project is finished, my senior partner wants to know how much interest there is in this stuff. Being a small company, time is food on the table .
So, I would like to hear from you all as to if there is or is not a demand for this. I can use what I have for developing my customers applications as it is, but it will take a bit more work to have it on the market with manuals, example code etc.
