Hello everyone, first post on the forum.
I have a client asking for some method of viewing and saving PLC data via an iPad at various factory sites. I wondered if anyone had come across a solution.
Here's his requirements:
1: Get information from field devices (through PLC) based on desired frequency….which is activated on the pad
2: Populate information in a Table format on the pad and Save data on the pad
3: Print Table from the pad to a selected Printer, and Transfer Saved data on pad to a selected Computer.
Ethernet/IP (ControlLogix) and possibly Modbus TCP/IP. The sites have wireless routers connected to the control system networks.
I looked at the Prosoft I-View app but it doesn't seem to have the ability to store PLC data in a file. Otherwise it would be perfect.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prosoft-i-view/id385920646?mt=8
The ideal solution would be a standalone app on the iPad so he doesn't have to pay for changes at every site.
Any ideas?
Adrian.
