HOPKINTON, MA – Control Technology Corp., a leading manufacturer of automation controllers that integrate motion control, I/O, user interfaces, and enterprise connectivity, has released CTC qMon™, a free iPhone/iPad app that provides read/write access to your CTC controller. qMon can access I/O, registers, flags and motion on Model 2700 and 5000 series controllers. “qMon moves CTC’s PC-based CTCmon utility to a platform that our customers have with them everywhere they go,” said Tom Schermerhorn, CTC President. “It is always available to check up on controller status and optimize system operation. For this reason it has already generated tremendous interest among our customers.”qMon can be used to reset counters, change setpoints, or review production data. It is available now for free download to iPhone or iPad from apple.com’s App Store; a demo [ctcdemo.ctc-control.com] may be entered into the IP Address field to test a live controller. Visit CTC’s website for additional information on qMon set-up and operation.
