Product Summary
Connect Palm Pilot PDAs to Modbus compatible devices via serial connections to read/write data and troubleshoot the device.
pocketHMI tm is the name we´ve given to a family of software products designed to run on Palm Computing Platform Devices using the Palm Computing Operating System. In short, the software runs on what many of you know as a "Palm Pilot". The Palm Pilot has evolved into a family of products with names such as Palm III, Palm IIIx, Palm IIIe, Palm V, and the new Palm VII. Currently the Palm family of products make up nearly 70% of the personal handheld computer market!
The pocketHMI-Modbus is a software tool you run on your Palm Pilot or other Palm Computing Operating System compatible device including the popular new HandSpring Visor and use to connect to your Modicon PLCs and Modbus Serial ASCII/RTU compatible devices. The pocketHMI-Modbus is a fantastic troubleshooting tool for your Modbus compatible devices. pocketHMI-Modbus works with any Modbus Serial ASCII/RTU compatible device. You connect using your Palm Hotsync cable with appropriate adapter cabling for your hardware to the RS-232 port on your Modbus device.
