Please update newest OS version. *** *** Price goes up from September. Please see detail here(http://translate.google.co.jp/translate?hl=ja&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fitosoft.blogspot.jp%2F2013%2F08%2Firpanel-iotouch2.html). (transrated by google) *** = The difference from 'irPanel Pro' 'irPanel Lite' can't connect to PLCs when you use it for the first time. We have Add-on items for each PLC provider. If you bought an item, it can connect to your selected provider's PLCs. More details to see http://iphone.itosoft.com/irpanel/diff_pro_lite =========================================== It was designed for operation of PLC at the place far from main panel. It is also seem to use for education of PLC. =========================================== = Manipulation You can switch on/off bit devices with buttons and change values of word devices with slider controls. = Monitor With irPanel you can monitor conditions, warnings and alarms of machineries. = Editing Of Manipulation Panales And Monitors You can add or change manipulation panels and monitors in irPanel, without any special editor application. Because we have some patterns for manipulation panels which contain 1-10 buttons and 0-2 slider controls, you just need to choose what you like, then set a title and devices for it. To create a monitor view, just register both start point and end point of the target range of devices. = Connection irPanel connects PLC via wireless LAN so that you can take irPanel with you. If your PLC supports Ethernet, you only need to have wireless LAN. Otherwise ioTouch2 can connect them through a Serial-Ethenet converter. "PLC Share" is no longer necessary. * irPanel supports most of KEYENCE, MITSUBISHI, YOKOGAWA and OMRON PLCs. More details to see http://iphone.itosoft.com/irpanel/spec . ===================================== --- C A U T I O N --- irPanel can switch on/off devices. If you need to interlock devices controlled by PLC, you need to configure that on PLC. If there are some devices of which you are not sure about safety, please set the permission of them readonly and don't use that function. =====================================

SSHPanel turns your iPhone into a dedicated server control panel, allowing you to manage servers without opening a terminal. Structure your SSH operations into three core axes: Execute, Reference, and Tools, and trigger tasks instantly with a single tap. ◆ EXECUTE & REFERENCE PANELS ・Execute Commands: Turn commands (systemctl, custom scripts) into one-tap panels. ・Exit Status: Visual indicators (green/red) instantly display success or failure. ・Data Reference: Display command outputs (e.g., cat) as panels with built-in keyword search (grep) for quick information extraction. ◆ INTERACTIVE "TOOLS" Real-time, in-depth server analysis tools: ・Directory Analyzer: Drill-down to identify disk space bottlenecks. ・Process Analyzer: List processes by CPU/MEM usage to find heavy loads. ・Memory Analyzer: Visualize true memory usage using PSS, and drill down into swap usage and OOM risks. ・Listening Ports: View active ports and associated connections/processes. ・Config Browser: Cleanly display configuration files by excluding comments and blank lines. ・Log Browser: Efficiently tail and grep server logs via a native UI. ◆ PANEL OPTIMIZATION ・Auto-close: Closes logs upon successful execution to minimize visual noise. ・Always Expanded: Fixes results on-screen, turning your device into a monitoring display. ・Expand on Tap: Keeps layouts slim, expanding only when detailed logs are needed. ◆ ADVANCED FEATURES ・SSH Multi-Hop (Jump Host): Automatically handles bastion host connection sequences. ・Robust Security: Passwords and keys (RSA, Ed25519) are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Credentials are fetched only at execution time with no in-app caching. ・iOS Integration: Trigger tasks directly from Widgets or Control Center. Automatic iCloud sync keeps panels updated across all your devices. ・67 Templates: Built-in presets for system monitoring, web, and database management. ※ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER SSHPanel is a "command execution (non-TTY)" tool optimized for iOS. ・No interactive sessions (e.g., vim or commands requiring real-time input). ・Designed specifically for executing pre-registered commands with a single tap.
