A user interface operable to connect to a device within an industrial control system includes a memory and a processing unit. The memory is operable to store a plurality of software applications for interfacing with the device and a configuration mask including access rights for at least a subset of the software applications. The processing unit is operable to establish a first connection with the device and disable selected software applications based on the configuration mask.

Wireless industrial control user interface with configurable software capabilities

An industrial control system includes a motor drive, a wireless interface module, and a wireless user interface. The motor drive has at least a first port. The wireless interface module is coupled to the first port of the motor drive. The wireless user interface is operable to connect to the wireless interface module and establish a first connection through the wireless interface module to access the motor drive. A user interface operable to connect to a device within an industrial control system includes a display and a processing unit operable to establish a connection with the device and display an image representative of the device on the display responsive to establishing the connection.

Wireless industrial control user interface

A wireless user interface is operable to interface with an industrial control system including a device operable to store a first password and a wireless interface module operable to store a second password. The wireless user interface includes a processing unit operable to prompt a user for the first and second passwords, connect to the wireless interface module using the second password, and establish a first connection through the wireless interface module to access the device using the second password.
