Connecting Palm Pilot to A-B Micrologix PLC

I was wondering if anyone has tried that PocketHMI software that lets you connect a Palm as an HMI to a Micrologix PLC

I also would like to know if anyone has set-up an infra-red port to connect wirelessly.

Pocket HMI - www.pockethmi.com
Infrared port - www.iags.co.uk

Thanks

I've tried them. They work fine for reading and writing to the PLC. Its more of a maintenence tool than an operator interface replacement though.
 
ICONICS has a product ready for the CE if you agree with that. It acts as HMI. The screens will be developed with the standart graphic editor of the scada and will be downloaded to the CE. Then you can use it remotely with dial-up, wireless network or whatever you want as long as you are connected to the network where you can reach the OPC Server.
