Can you use an iPad to communicate and use as a remote console on an ABB DCS in an industrial application?
Voted best answer
You can communicate with 800xA operator workplace by means of RDS applications for iPad (such as Pocket Cloud). See 2PAA110154-510 for the details and how to arrange operator workplace to fit it into ipad's screen.
Ensure the target computer (remote OS) isolated from client/server network via router. If you will try to open gateway for connecting iPad on workstation that is connected directly to client/server network you have a risk to get system down by an external DDoS attack.

Yes, you can open operator station on mobile or iPad devices, Check following threads for System 800xA and Freelance, respectively.
