Now supporting Allen Bradley Micrologix controllers, we just submitted ScadaMobile 1.3.4 for Apple review. With this maintenance update, the app has received numerous performance improvements and fixes. The ability to read and write individual bits in Modbus registers, and the 'color' attribute are also part of this update.

The user's manual has been updated with extended coverage on subjects that are common technical support queries, such as how to arrange pages and sections involving several data source files, or what certain attributes precisely do.

All current users using IE8, or having experienced some minor glitches such as data bouncing once after a write, wanting ScadaMobile to stop polling PLCs as their iPhone is in Lock mode, or looking for a better way to switch pages, are encouraged to download this update.

With version 1.3.3 new ways to present and manipulate data are available. Now you can use bars and sliders to view and change values in a more convenient way. Dimming a light or adjusting a motor speed have never been easier.

To demonstrate how to use and configure the new styles, a comprehensive new example (StylesExampleModb.csv) has been created. The example will come pre-loaded on fresh ScadaMobile installations. Existing ScadaMobile users can use the File Server to upload it to ScadaMobile, either from our site or by clicking the Load Templates button.

Also, version 1.3.3 features a revamped File Server, which is both cleaner and easier to use. This version also removes a long standing incompatibility with Internet Explorer 8, and does not cause PC Web Browsers to terminate ScadaMobile File Server connections when the Server is stopped. With the new implementation, PLC integrators and advanced users will be able to keep the Web Page provided by ScadaMobile always open on their PC Browser without having to worry about the actual state of the Server.

Version 1.3.3 is already submitted to the App Store for review and it is expected to be available for download in the next few days.

A new set of tag attributes are being added to ScadaMobile to fulfill a series of requirements aimed at enhancing the flexibility of the product and to give a better experience to users. A feature to lookup texts form a table, and the ability to access serial modbus devices through gateways is being incorporated too.

Apple has just completed review for Version 1.3 of both apps and they are on the App Store ready for download. An updated version of the manual is available too and more examples demonstrating the new features are downloadable from our site. Since ScadaMobile will retain existing files and settings after upgrading, users upgrading from previous versions may need to get the examples from our site or use ScadaMobile File Server 'load templates' button .

We are excited to announce that version 1.3 of our ScadaMobile app supporting Allen Bradley Logix controllers is about ready for release. Version 1.3 uses native CIP messaging over Ethernet/IP and can read/write tags in the Logix family (CompactLogix and ControlLogix) of Allen Bradley controllers. Among other features, new version also includes the ability to arrange Tags in pages that users can use to further customize how data is presented. Within each page, tags can still be organized in sections. The ability to handle multiple sources gives complete flexibility to combine and display tags from different controllers on any page, section or order. We plan to send new version to the App Store over the next couple of days and we expect release on the next week.

The app is now on the App Store. An updated User Manual is now available for download from the Downloads Section.

New Features include a Tabbed Interface for easier navigation through the app, Modbus Support, Multiple Connections, Additional Tag Display Attributes, On-the-fly uploading of Sources, Connections Tab for network troubleshooting, and more.

We almost finished version 1.2 of our ScadaMobile app, currently in final beta testing stage, which adds support for Modbus/TCP and multiple simultaneous connections to a number of distributed PLCs or other device(s) supporting Modbus.

Version 1.2 features the same all in one intuitive interface, where remote system variables can be arranged and grouped in sections for quick supervision and response times far below any classic web-based Scada even if data is coming from disparate locations.
