Recently found an interesting program to control Modbus with iPhone (www.iridiummobile.net). Has anyone used it?
Or can one use other similar programs, give feedback please.

 

I found a SCADA app in the app store called scadamobile and scadamobile lite that allows you to monitor PLC systems.

 

G'day,

that SCADAMobile app is really quite good. Whilst it doesn't offer the capability to import graphics and do graphic HMI's, it does have some really useful features.

The latest version supports integer lookup tables for text and separate slave ID's for pieces of equipment.

I have been experimenting with the app with a Tesys T on ethernet recently and its really quite good. I can monitor the status of the unit and receive information about the last 5 faults.

Today i will start playing around with using an Altivar drive with the app and using the fault code lookup (which i have tested before and is fantastic).

Cheers, Daniel

 

Hello,

PeakHMI has dynamic web pages created by an internal web server that can be utilized by an iPhone.

Good luck,

I don't know about iridiummobile but ScadaMobile will control any modbus device very fast. You just tell the app the Registers you want to control through a csv file and you'll get them displayed on a list similar to the contacts app. You also have options for changing certain display aspects. The app is really cool and literally flies when used on a local WiFi. Very recommendable.

We also provide an iPhone Trending application which uses configured data historians to serve the data. This would never act as a modbus master but it could be used in conjunction with Kepware for instance to make your Modbus data sources available to trend in our app.

The demo version is free to download and is fully functional.

I've used ScadaMobile now for a few months, and I can tell you that it is hands down the best mobile app for monitoring process data that I have ever seen. What I like best is that it has the protocol drivers built in to the application, allowing it to communicate directly with the end device.... so no external PC/web server is required.

Their technical support is equally as good!

Good work. But an iPhone app runs only on Apple devices (e. g. iPhone and iPad). What is with all the other smart phones and web tablets?

Over a special proxy server the Modbus remote access can be 100% web-based. This works with any smartphone or web tablet web browser. Please see:
