About

Unified

Read full description

This app allows hosting different HMIs to monitor and control a plant or machine. You can create the HMIs with the Unified-E App Designer and publish them on the Unified-E App Manager. Unified-E is a software product which is used to operate machines or plants with a smartphone. App development time is drastically reduced by using the "Unified-E App Designer" software, where you can define both the HMI views and push notifications for your individual HMI app. No app programming knowledge is required. There is a Gateway PC required which connects smartphone with machine and ensures that communication is secured and only granted for authorized users. The "Pro" license also allows operating a machine via the Internet without performing any configuration on the firewall or router. By now there are already multiple Unified-E endpoint adapters, e. g. for the S7-, ControlLogix-, Modbus- or OPC UA interface. The software, user manuals, licenses and further information can be found on the website ww.unified-e.com. For developers and integrators all licenses are for free.

Electric Scan turns your phone into a live window on your EV's high-voltage battery. Pair it with the Electric Scan Bluetooth LE module, connect the module to your vehicle, and the app streams what the battery management system reports, refreshed several times a second. CELL VOLTAGES Every cell in the pack, read individually. Switch between a numeric grid and a heatmap that shows at a glance where each cell sits within the pack's own minimum-maximum range. The summary panel identifies the highest and lowest cell by number, the pack average, and the spread between them in millivolts. PACK AND STATE State of charge, state of health, total pack voltage, module temperatures, and 12 V system voltage, each on its own level bar. DRIVE DATA Motor RPM on a 270-degree gauge, actual against requested torque on a bipolar meter that separates drive from regeneration, and GPS speed from your phone. TRIP RECORDER Start a recording before you set off and the app samples speed, RPM, state of charge, and torque for the whole trip. Afterwards you get distance, top and average speed, peak RPM, and the change in state of charge, with a chart for each channel. Trips are stored on your device and you choose which ones to keep or delete. G-FORCE METER A live readout of acceleration, braking, and cornering forces measured by your phone's motion sensors, with a trail of recent movement and a peak hold. LANGUAGES Thai and English. REQUIRES HARDWARE Electric Scan is a companion app for the Electric Scan Bluetooth LE module and does nothing on its own. Without the module connected to a vehicle you will only see the connection screen. IMPORTANT Electric Scan displays the values your vehicle makes available. It is a reference tool for the owner, not a repair tool, and it cannot repair or resolve high-voltage battery issues. The readings shown are preliminary reference information only and are not a substitute for an official diagnosis by an authorised service centre or a qualified technician.
