Trilogic Software on a Pocket PC

[Will Steed]

Have the engineers at Trilogic though about making the programming software usuable on a pocket PC, perhaps a Palm or Windows based platform.  The reason being is that I would like to use the PLC in remote locations and a pocket PC is easier to cart around for monitoring than a Laptop.

I have had the oportunity recently to work on SAIC equipment, and they have a program loaded onto Palm m100's for changing and monitoring the setpoints on the PLC's they use.  It is very handy and convienient.

So far there isn't a lot of interest from customers who want us to port the whole programming software to a Palm or a pocket PC. ?Technically it is a ?good challenge, but as a company we have to devote scarce engineering resources to area that is most relevant to customers. ?(E.g. We have just launched TRiLOGI version 5.3 that allows "View Protection" of OEM source code. You can obtain the upgrade now by following the "upgrade.htm" document in your CD-ROM.)

In the near future we may however look into providing some user interface software on Palm or Pocket PC that allows setting of timer/counter or internal data value.
