Seeing your key machines and sensors on your smartphone or tablet—whether they're in your facility or remotely located—could be mighty useful, you may be thinking.
But maybe you don't have the time or interest to develop your own groov mobile operator interface, or configure devices and set up networking.

When you turn on an output, do you set a flag and then check it to see the output's status before turning the output on again?
Or do you just turn it on without checking?
Is setting a flag a good way to speed up the program and avoid tying up the network with unnecessary communications to I/O?
Or does it just add a lot of extra variables and decision blocks that make debugging and maintenance harder?
