ProSoft i-View is a mobile iPhone/iPod touch/iPad application that allows for remote monitoring and control of process values within an EtherNet/IP and/or Modbus TCP/IP network, utilizing a wireless 802.11 (WiFi) and/or cellular network connection.
ProSoft i-View provides an interface for accessing and monitoring variables (tags) and memory of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Plant engineers, PAC/PLC software developers, and Maintenance personnel now have the ability for live monitoring and control of PAC/PLC based systems at any time, from everywhere.
ProSoft i-View wirelessly connects directly to the PLC without routing through servers or personal computers, using direct TCP/IP links between iPhones/iPods and PLCs, with minimal configuration. Security is guaranteed through extensive use of passwords and the encryption and tunneling options that the TCP/IP and 802.11 technologies provide.
Features
Benefits
Live monitoring and control
•View and change live PAC/PLC variables (tags) through local (802.11/WiFi) or remote cellular
Enhanced Security
•Utilizing the iPhone’s built-in 802.11 WAP/WAP2 256 bit encryption
•Multi-user level accounts – if the username and pw is not known, access is denied
•PAC/PLC live passcode – live PLC/PAC tag value must match entered passcode
Live Trending
•Trend and graph live tag values
•Graph based on 1, 2, 10 minute intervals
Built in EtherNet/IP and
Modbus TCP/IP drivers
•No need for other drivers, PCs, web servers, etc. – App directly connects to PAC/PLC
•Extensive error reporting for all drivers
•Use a combination of drivers in each project
Modbus TCP/IP Driver
•Read Discrete Inputs and Input Registers.
•Supervise (read and write) Coils and Holding Registers.
•Display values in any supported data type.
•PLC communications engine automatically groups Tags and uses optimized Modbus commands to further efficiency.
EtherNet/IP Driver
•Read/Write any scalar data type tag.
•Native CIP and PCCC embedded commands with support for ControlLogix, CompactLogix and Micrologix, SLC, PLC5, etc.
•Individual diagnostic of Tag errors.
