PDA as a HMI

[Mr JJ 0]

Has anyone ever used a PDA device as a HMI with IR scanner with a PLC or PLC's instead of a hardwired touchscreen. If so could you give me some ideas> Thank you all John

Can you be more specific about the PDA? For Palm Pilots I use web servers

An Allen Bradley HMI? Have you looked at this? http://www.instanthmi.com/OEM-Reseller.htm It supports Allen Bradley: http://www.instanthmi.com/IHMI-Drivers.htm I've also played with this: http://www.narlysoftware.com/Handheld-HMI_products.htm

I didn't look at chakorules links yet, but AB's Versa View is run with Windows CE and most PDA's are also.
