Exor began developing the JMobile software in 2006 in close cooperation with a group of major clients: Exor has invested over 300 of man-years in development. This trusting collaboration with the market has continued throughout the subsequent years and as a consequence has led to a unique software package, responding in a secure and stable manner to real needs.
The three principles that have guided and will continue to guide this development are:
• Remain open to the major fieldbus / protocols of communication
• Use open and universally recognized market technological standards such as HTML5, SVG, XML
• Maintain ease of use and extremely secure all integrations of market leading 3rd party software
These three principles working together leads Exor and our customers to the best of all situations where the secure, solid JMobile backbone of highly critical software is able to contain and implement in use the software that is needed.
JMobile with a fully integrated CODESYS PLC has grown to permit communication to all I/O, Sensors, Motion devices via the major protocols of PROFINET, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, EtherNet/IP, Modbus amongst others. Transmitted using OPC UA standard and soon pub/sub* via various communication networks including TSN* JMobile covers the Connectivity, Device management, Process management and Data Visualization components of any platform.
JMobile also covers inside of a smart scada or as a simple IoT gateway, sending all data to higher Enterprise levels and external interfaces via the highly robust and secure OPC UA pub/sub or where deemed suitable a MQTT* broker. JMobile client-server architecture is based on current HTML5 web technologies with the QT engine and Scalable Vector Graphics. This provides users with advanced control and remote supervision from any browser, any device (smartphone, tablet, or computer).
This seamless communication which is already envied as a real technical achievement does not convey the completeness of JMobile. What began as a close contact with customers has remained so deeply engrained into the development process that the beautiful user experience is a defining attribute.
Through a rich set of symbols, widgets and advanced functions (e-mail, RSS, PDF Reporting, Scheduler, HTML5 Browser, Gesturing), incredible graphic images, Canvas, the main design element in HTML5 in association with Javascript, table design and layout for even the most extreme of data visualization needs, BACnet, CANopen and Network I/O stacks available for integrated PLC via CODESYS v3, PING for easier network diagnostics, DNP3 Outstation for all smartgrid applications, all the way down to Indexed Tags and a full FTP client…….it is all intuitively easy to use.
