Hey everyone,
First post, sorry if this is a common topic/question, but didn't have any luck searching. I'm fairly new to PLC programming/development (Android/iOS guy, been doing PLC work for the past ~year off and on).
I have some PLCs that we use on a machine we ship to customers. The biggest problem is, we can't update them once they're on site with customers. Coming from the mobile app world, this is a tough pill to swallow. So I went searching on ways we could update remotely, and haven't found any good options.
As a note, we're using AutomationDirect DL-05 and DL-06 PLCs.
I did find this one resource. A company named Samuel Jackson uses the DL-06 in their product, and they have a Windows/Macintosh updater, that they offer to customers to download and update their PLC.

Does anyone know what sort of thing they'd be doing to make this work? Is there some holy grail I'm missing because I'm too big of a newbie? Any ideas on how much work this would be?
Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated.
