<A HREF="http://www.PacificMicroinstruments.com">Pacific Microinstruments, Inc.</A> announced the release of the PLC Pilot application software package. The package allows users to monitor and control Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) from Palm OS mobile devices. The PLC Pilot is also available as an OEM software component for integration and private label re-sale in conjunction with PLC-based products sold by Original Equipment Manufacturers. The software supports the DirectNet protocol and interfaces with the Koyo DL05, DL105, DL205, DL305, and DL405 families. It eliminates the requirement for a personal computer when interfacing to these devices in the field, and provides a general-purpose touch pad interface for reading and writing to the PLCs.
