Nope.  Devices like that require drivers to operate.  The PLC can't load drivers.  I would also doubt the internal power supply of the PLC would support such a device.

Hi, like Crossbow wrote the most cheap devices require a driver to operate and won't work with a plc. If you want to provide
a Bluetooth or WLAN interface for a machine, this could possibly be the suitable system

I have one. Not used in years but I did post here about it.

I needed it because the panel was in a corridor where heavy carts went past all day with no room for me.

Of course, I can't find it but it was like a dongle that plugged in the plc and a usb into the pc.

I programmed from about 15M away.

 

Edit. I got it from Amazon but they are no longer for sale there.

Maybe they are for sale elsewhere but they do or did exist.

And...it worked perfectly

Some of the bluetooth transmitters say no drivers required in the description. Ill try a few out since theyre so cheap and report back if it works.
