The PLC Pilot provides an interface to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) from mobile devices running the Palm Operating System. Replacing a laptop in many applications, the software enables operators to have easy access to PLC-based devices literally at their fingertips. Because the screen is touch sensitive and the buttons on the main screen are large, many users won't even need to use the stylus! The PLC Pilot application provides a standard graphical interface to Pacific Microinstruments PLC interface libraries. However, OEMs can extend the application to meet any device-specific requirements. That allows OEMs to offer a custom application to add as an option with existing PLC-based product. Once your customers experience the benefits of a Palm interface, they will be sold on your product forever. The value of PDA interfaces is great for applications that require field technicians and plant engineers to move about frequently and carry an interface with them. Depending on the specifics of your product, we can often enable wireless communications from cell phones such as the Kyocera Smartphone. Features Include: Hexanumeric keypad Continuous sampling of registers DirectNet protocol RS-232 serial communications Large touch screen buttons for stylus-free operation of main screen
