i-View is an "app" that is designed to transform the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch platforms into mobile HMIs to enable real-time remote process control for engineers, plant-floor operators and maintenance technicians.
With i-View, control engineers can remotely monitor and modify live data
from programmable automation controllers on an EtherNet/IP or Modbus
TCP/IP network. The app creates a secure cellular or 802.11 interface
between the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch devices and the control system. For
802.11 plant-floor network access, the Wi-Fi function of the phone can
be used in conjunction with the vendor's 802.11 Industrial Hotspot
solutions. For remote applications such as pipeline and well-head
monitoring, or where engineers require access from long distances, the
vendor's Intelligent Cellular series can be used.ProSoft Technology Inc.www.prosoft-technology.com661.716.5100
