rooster Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I can't get the Android remote operator app to work on a V290 B20 PLC. I can connect fine on a PC with the Windows app. I noticed that this model isn't listed in the supported models, which is no doubt the reason it doesn't work. Can someone confirm that its definitely not possible? Or is there another way to provide remote access from an Android device? Just want to be sure before I tell my customer that they'll have to upgrade the PLC to allow remote access from their phone! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saragani Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The mobile version of Remote Operator only supports the enhanced vision PLCs (and I think that the V130 is also not supported). A workaround can be a computer that is connected to the PLC with Remote Operator (in full screen, for example), and then have VNC client on phone connected to the PC. This is off course will require the PC connected 24/7 to the PLC, and if your client have several PLCs, then it complicates things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted March 7, 2018 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 They need a V560 with an Ethernet card. It will fit in the same opening and they get color to boot. 16 hours ago, Saragani said: A workaround can be a computer that is connected to the PLC with Remote Operator I have only the utmost respect for Saragani, but this is a more expensive and complicated solution than buying a new PLC in my opinion.

Saragani Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I didn't say it is a good idea, but if he requires an immediate solution then this is the only one. (And buying a new PLC sometimes also requires to rewrite the application, so it can also be expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub M Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi, any updates on this, two years later? We have Vision 290 and would like to connect and control it via Android's Unitronics' Remote Operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted September 28, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 It's supposedly an innate Vision series issue, in that older types cannot handle any more things in their firmware. This "fully used firmware capacity" issue is across the Vision range with different results related to age of model. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
