irBoard Lite vs PieeerU

Using irBoard Lite, you can conveniently monitor the status and operation of FA equipment and IoT devices through an iPad or any other iOS device. The control device known as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has communication protocols. irBoard Lite communicates with PLCs via its protocol. Additionally, it has the capability to communicate effectively with IoT devices, specifically the ESP32 device at present. You don’t need additional software besides irBoard Lite because the screen editor is already included. ===================================== irBoard Lite is a limited version of irBoard. The Lite edition allows users to connect to only one project per day and the launch page only with a maximum of ten items. And importing a project is not allowed. To lift these limitations, you can either acquire an unlock item or redeem a ticket to access for four hours. ===================================== FEATURE: - You can conveniently monitor the status and operation of FA equipment and IoT devices. - Although the FA equipment has fixed touch panels installed, the irBoard Lite on iOS devices offers superior portability. - It is possible to remotely check the status of a device in PLCs. - To ensure safety, manipulating connected PLC devices is only allowed on a single iOS device. - By switching projects, you can easily connect to multiple FA machines using just one iOS device. - irBoard Lite supports the following PLCs via Ethernet connection: MITSUBISHI Electric, KEYENCE, OMRON, and YOKOGAWA Electric, and support Modbus/TCP. - It can also connect to an open-source PLC LadderDrive running on Raspberry Pi. (https://github.com/ito-soft-design/ladder_drive) - The irBoard Library for ESP32 library supports ESP32 devices.(https://github.com/ito-soft-design/irboard_esp32) - The irBoard.NET library supports Windows .NET applications.(https://github.com/ito-soft-design/irboard-dotnet) - Using the LadderDrive protocol, allows for communication with IoT devices such as ESP32 without any difficulty. - The screen editor has already been included. it is easy for you to make modifications to the pages. ===================================== --- Notes --- With irBoard Lite, you have the ability to turn devices on and off. If you require the interlocking of PLC-controlled devices, it is necessary to configure this on the PLC. To ensure safety, we suggest setting the status of such devices to read-only. You can monitor the health status to determine if the connection is stable. If the connection is lost, it’s important to take precautionary measures when operating your PLC. =====================================

When equipment stops, you need a clear view of the ladder and device states—right where the machine is. PieeerU is a read-only mobile PLC viewer for maintenance work. It helps you view PLC programs and device states clearly on iPhone and iPad, even where opening a laptop beside the control panel is impractical. Open the Program Part you need and check the states or values of devices such as X, Y, M, D, T, and C. Capture the screen and share it with your maintenance team or equipment supplier so they can see the stopped position and signal conditions instead of relying on a phone description. Key features • Read programs from supported PLCs and display them as ladder diagrams • Import CSV files exported from GX Works or GX Developer • Apply comment files to make device meanings easier to understand • Test PLC connections and monitor device states • View and manage individual Program Parts • Save and restore your work in .plv files • Explore the workflow with the built-in demo PLC—no hardware required Read-only by design PLCViewer does not write to the PLC, force devices ON or OFF, change RUN/STOP state, or edit PLC programs. It is focused on helping you see, verify, and communicate what is happening. Try the core workflow for free The free version includes the demo PLC, connection testing, small CSV ladder viewing, limited comment application, and X/Y device monitoring. PRO removes limits on import size, comments, PLC readouts, Program Parts, saves, and other listed features. Designed for • Factory maintenance and equipment-management teams • Technicians who need a quick PLC view at the control panel • Teams that need to share accurate equipment conditions remotely • Anyone looking for a read-only mobile PLC tool This is not an official Mitsubishi Electric app. Confirm supported PLCs, connection methods, and displayed content before use. Refer to each manufacturer's official documentation for PLC and engineering-software settings and specifications.
