irBoard Lite vs Odrid HMI Usage & Stats

Using irBoard Lite, you can conveniently monitor the status and operation of FA equipment and IoT devices through an iPad or any other iOS device. The control device known as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has communication protocols. irBoard Lite communicates with PLCs via its protocol. Additionally, it has the capability to communicate effectively with IoT devices, specifically the ESP32 device at present. You don’t need additional software besides irBoard Lite because the screen editor is already included. ===================================== irBoard Lite is a limited version of irBoard. The Lite edition allows users to connect to only one project per day and the launch page only with a maximum of ten items. And importing a project is not allowed. To lift these limitations, you can either acquire an unlock item or redeem a ticket to access for four hours. ===================================== FEATURE: - You can conveniently monitor the status and operation of FA equipment and IoT devices. - Although the FA equipment has fixed touch panels installed, the irBoard Lite on iOS devices offers superior portability. - It is possible to remotely check the status of a device in PLCs. - To ensure safety, manipulating connected PLC devices is only allowed on a single iOS device. - By switching projects, you can easily connect to multiple FA machines using just one iOS device. - irBoard Lite supports the following PLCs via Ethernet connection: MITSUBISHI Electric, KEYENCE, OMRON, and YOKOGAWA Electric, and support Modbus/TCP. - It can also connect to an open-source PLC LadderDrive running on Raspberry Pi. (https://github.com/ito-soft-design/ladder_drive) - The irBoard Library for ESP32 library supports ESP32 devices.(https://github.com/ito-soft-design/irboard_esp32) - The irBoard.NET library supports Windows .NET applications.(https://github.com/ito-soft-design/irboard-dotnet) - Using the LadderDrive protocol, allows for communication with IoT devices such as ESP32 without any difficulty. - The screen editor has already been included. it is easy for you to make modifications to the pages. ===================================== --- Notes --- With irBoard Lite, you have the ability to turn devices on and off. If you require the interlocking of PLC-controlled devices, it is necessary to configure this on the PLC. To ensure safety, we suggest setting the status of such devices to read-only. You can monitor the health status to determine if the connection is stable. If the connection is lost, it’s important to take precautionary measures when operating your PLC. =====================================

Odrid HMI

NOTE: Read the description CAREFULLY before downloading! Operator panel for various industrial control system. Communication over Wi-Fi or mobile internet with the protocols Modbus/TCP (Class 0 and 1), Modbus RTU class 1 and Siemens S7 Communication (ISO-on-TCP). Odrid HMI is an alternative to traditional SCADA systems and operator panels. The app supports multiple data types and has easy navigation between pages using swipe gestures or buttons. Odrid HMI is also great to use for home automation with PLCs that have e.g. Modbus/TCP protocol is implemented to remotely control and monitor lighting, ventilation, heating etc in the residence or holiday home. Advantages: Excellent technical support. Free updates. Graphic HMIs with multi touch function can be created in minutes. Free-of-charge development tool with test run feature. Virtually unlimited number of pages, objects and variables. Does not require any third-party services. Genuine native app. Features: Parameters for communication such as IP address, port number, protocol, etc. can be specified per page. Automatic polling of all variables displayed in the current page, no need for separate tag list. Many formats for numeric variables such as 16 and 32 bit integer, unsigned, hex, ASCII, float (IEEE 754), etc. Prioritized event-driven transfer to the controller. Pages are edited in the measurement unit dp (Density Independent Pixels). Life bit for monitoring the operator panel in the controller. (Function similar to coordination area in Siemens S7.) Numeric variables can be displayed as predefined text for example alarms, sequence steps etc. Detailed diagnostics of connection and communication. Variable areas for system variables, local variables and constants. Possibility of automatic return to the start page after some time of inactivity. Selectable order for high and low words of 32-bit variables in the Modbus protocol. Poll interval can be set do save data traffic or battery. Support for Baltic, Central European, Chinese (GB2312, BIG5), Cyrillic, Eastern European, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese (Shift JIS), Turkish, Vietnamese and Western character sets. Ability to test run pages in the development tool. LED-objects can be displayed as rectangles and in any size e.g. for Andon-systems. Background color for pages can be selected. Modbus Device ID can be changed with GUI objects during operation. Image buttons. Password fields. Floating point and hexadecimal number formatting. Timestamp for page files. Hyperlinks. Document information in page files. Implemented protocols in the current version: Modbus/TCP: Class 0, Function 3 and 16. Reads and writes 64,512 holding registers. Modbus/TCP: Class 1, Function 1, 2, 4 and 5. Reads 65,535 discrete inputs, 65,535 input registers and reads and writes 65,535 outputs (coils). Modbus RTU: Class 0 and 1. Siemens S7 Communication: Reads and writes 8192 bytes in datablock 1 to 4095 and in the Input, Memory and Output areas. (Default value for highest Siemens S7 databock is 255.)
