Read full descriptionHide full description
Domat Visual is a free application for remote access to SoftPLC/MiniPLC/mark... controllers for heating, ventilation, air condition and energy monitoring and control. With Domat Visual, the control panel of your controller is always at your fingertips. The controllers must be programmed and commissioned, and must be accessible over the Internet or in your local network. For communication with SoftPLC/MiniPLC process stations, the app uses a LCD menu definition file, which must be uploaded into the mobile device, and displays values in a similar way as they are presented on the LCD display of the PLC. The mark⦠process stations use apart from the LCD menu also graphic panels. The text menu definition and graphic definition are uploaded as separate definition files. Depending on the user rights, it is possible to read / change values, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, light intensity etc., inclusive alarm acknowledging and time schedule setup. The application supports more PLCs and can be configured for local access from a LAN as well as remote access from the Internet. The switching between local and remote access is fast and simple.
