Can Multiple Users Connect to MC41 Simultaneously via IQANGo?
Hi folks,
I am wanting to use IQANgo as a system monitor application for the end users, with locked down access level.
Can anyone with experience tell me if it is possible to have multiple simultaneous users connect to an MC controller all at the same time over ethernet?

I believe the first connected device grabs the single access into the controller. We have tried multiple access using G12 modem and the system becomes invisible to a second device if someone is already connected. This is over CAN.
Although I haven't actually tried multiple access over ethernet, i would image its likely the same. Its likely done to restrict multiple users accessing potentially variable parameters in the menu system. It probably becomes a nightmare to manage through the system.
Understood, I guess I need to investigate building a phone app for the end users. Or I suppose at least I need to create SMS alerts and commands.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has done something similar for remotely monitoring machines by the end users.
An important note here is there is no ethernet on an MC41. It's MC42 and MC43 that have that feature. Only one diagnostics session is allowed at a time.
Got it, thanks for the reminder.
