Description
From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.
”Simple Remote" lets you control screens of Programmable Operator Interface – MONITOUCH from your smartphone or tablet.
User registration is not required at all. Simply install the application on your Android device and it's ready for use.
=== Application Examples ===
- Adjustment of machines or production lines
You can easily monitor screens of MONITOUCH on your smartphone or tablet. There is no need to stand in front of the MONITOUCH unit to check the status of machines or production lines.
- Operation in clean room
There is no need to gear up and enter the clean room to check screens. Just start up "Simple Remote" on your smartphone or tablet for remote monitoring and control of the MONITOUCH that is located in the clean room. It's useful for a quick checkup.
- Troubleshooting
In combination with a Wi-Fi router, you can operate the MONITOUCH from a distant location such as a control room as long as both MONITOUCH and your tablet are connected to the same network. You can troubleshoot or verify what's happening without going to the site.
(e.g. MONITOUCH: wired LAN, tablet: wireless LAN)
