Using an Android Devices as Mobile Extensible HMIs

Abstract

In this paper, an android application monitoring and control with programmable logic controller (PLC) system is proposed, which helps the production engineer self-correct the system without restriction of time and place. The proposed android application consists of smart phone, access point and PLC Siemens S7-1200. The feasibility of this method is illustrated by experimental using different parameter databases. Recognition results show this approach is efficient.
