Gone are the days when you couldn't find a good and stable app to connect to your plc.


I present to you: iPlc - Android Modbus HMI
The most simple and reliable HMI solution for your Modbus plc.


Features:
- Works with any Modbus plc: Wago, Twido, Zelio and many others
- Connects to the plc using the Modbus protocol over TCP/IP
- Reads from Input Status (Digital input), Input Register (Analog input)
- Reads and writes from Coils (Digital output), Holding Registers (Memory)
- Reads boolean, bit values, 16 bit / 32 bit integers.
- Supports multiple plc configurations
- Supports Input Register modifier formula (to alter sensor output)
- Highly configurable - you create and manage your plc's and addresses
- Reads values each 2 seconds from the plc to keep the information live on the screen
- 40 ms read time, 70 ms write time over local network
- A few dozen icons to customize your interface
- Material design


How it works:
The app connects to the Plc and can read/write values in and from the Modbus registers.


How to set it up:
- Install iPlc
- Set up your plc using the Ip and Port
