Phone/tablet as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) HMI/SCADA in a local network
![HMI Droid for Android - wifi example HMI android wi-fi wifi plc phone tablet touch smartphone pad modbus/tcp rtu LAN BYOD Bring Your Own Device](android hmi_droid_app_example_wifi_wifiplc.png)
Communication over Wi-Fi between a mobile device with HMI Droid and the PLC either directly (eg Modbus/TCP or Siemens S7 Communication) or through a serial port via a port server (eg COMLI or Modbus RTU).
Connection type should be set to Wi-Fi, or Ethernet UDP when using SattBus COMLI.
HMI Droid can be used e.g. with WiFi PLCs from XLogic Sweden. (Select protocol Modbus/TCP class 1.)
Port server tested with HMI Droid and works well is MOXA NPort 5110.
Phone/tablet as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) HMI/SCADA over mobile internet
![HMI Droid for Android - internet example HMI android wi-fi wifi plc phone tablet smartphone pad touch modbus/tcp rtu mobile internet BYOD Bring Your Own Device](android hmi_droid_app_example_internet_wifiplc.png)
Communication over mobile internet between a device with HMI Droid and the PLC either directly (eg Modbus/TCP or Siemens S7 Communication) or through a serial port via a port server (eg COMLI or Modbus RTU).
Connection type should be set to Wi-Fi, or Ethernet UDP when SattBus COMLI, no matter how Android device connects to the internet.
Router configured for "port forwarding".
If the IP address on the Internet is not fixed, you can use a dyn-dns service.
HMI Droid can be used e.g. with WiFi PLCs from XLogic Sweden. (Select protocol Modbus/TCP class 1.)
Port server tested with HMI Droid and works well is MOXA NPort 5110.
Using a VPN tunnel is recommended. Many routers and NAS devices have built-in VPN servers that are easy to setup.
Phone/tablet as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) HMI/SCADA over Internet behind Carrier-grade NAT
![HMI Droid for Android - CGNAT example HMI android wi-fi wifi plc phone tablet smartphone pad touch modbus/tcp rtu mobile internet BYOD Bring Your Own Device](/images/android hmi_droid_app_example_cgnat_wifiplc.png)
Communication over Internet between a device with HMI Droid/Odrid HMI and a PLC behind Carrier-grade NAT either directly (eg Modbus/TCP or Siemens S7 Communication) or through a serial port via a port server (eg COMLI or Modbus RTU).
Connection type should be set to Wi-Fi, or Ethernet UDP when SattBus COMLI, no matter how Android device connects to the internet.
NOTE: Since there is no public IP-address to connect to, a service like e.g. ZeroTier is required.
HMI Droid can be used e.g. with WiFi PLCs from XLogic Sweden. (Select protocol Modbus/TCP class 1.)
Port server tested with HMI Droid and works well is MOXA NPort 5110.
Odrid HMI on a Mac in a local network
![Odrid HMI for macOS - local area network example Odrid HMI MacOS wi-fi wifi plc modbus/tcp rtu LAN](/images/macOS-odrid-hmi-app-example-wifi-wifiplc.png)
Requirements: macOS 10.15 or later.
Communication over Ethernet between a Mac and the PLC either directly (eg Modbus/TCP or Siemens S7 Communication) or through a serial port via a port server (eg COMLI or Modbus RTU).
Connection type should normally be set to Wi-Fi.
Odrid HMI can be used e.g. with WiFi PLCs from XLogic Sweden. (Select protocol Modbus/TCP class 1.)
Port server tested with Odrid HMI and works well is MOXA NPort 5110.
Panel-PC, ODROID or Raspberry Pi in a local network
![HMI Droid for Android - local area network example HMI android wi-fi wifi plc phone tablet touch smartphone modbus/tcp rtu LAN panel-pc](android hmi_droid_app_example_fas_panel_pc_wifiplc.png)
Communication over ethernet between panel PC, ODROID or Raspberry Pi with HMI Droid and the PLC either directly (eg Modbus/TCP or Siemens S7 Communication) or through a serial port via a port server (eg COMLI or Modbus RTU).
Connection type should be set to Wi-Fi, or Ethernet UDP when using SattBus COMLI.
HMI Droid can be used e.g. with WiFi PLCs from XLogic Sweden. (Select protocol Modbus/TCP class 1.)
Port server tested with HMI Droid and works well is MOXA NPort 5110.
Media player or PC with Android-x86 in a local network
![HMI Droid for Android - media player example HMI android wi-fi wifi plc pjone tablet touch smartphone pad modbus/tcp rtu LAN media player](hmi_droid_app_example_mediaplayer_wifiplc_andon.png)
Communication over ethernet between a media player or a PC with HMI Droid and the PLC either directly (eg Modbus/TCP or Siemens S7 Communication) or through a serial port via a port server (eg COMLI or Modbus RTU).
Connection type should be set to Wi-Fi, or Ethernet UDP when using SattBus COMLI.
HMI Droid can be used e.g. with WiFi PLCs from XLogic Sweden. (Select protocol Modbus/TCP class 1.)
Port server tested with HMI Droid and works well is MOXA NPort 5110.
Phone/tablet as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) HMI/SCADA over Bluetooth Classic or Bluetooth LE
![HMI Droid for Android - bluetooth example HMI android wi-fi wifi plc phone tablet touch smartphone pad bluetooth BYOD Bring Your Own Device](android hmi_droid_app_example_bluetooth.png)
