FieldSim 1.0

Fieldsim turns your iPhone into a real industrial and IoT protocol test bench — no extra hardware, no lab PC, no separate test tools.

Fieldsim isn't a mock-up. Every protocol is implemented against its real wire-level specification and verified against industry-standard reference clients and libraries. Real SCADA software, PLCs, and IoT gateways can connect to your iPhone and talk to it exactly as they would to a real field device.

Simulate 11 real protocols:
• MQTT — full broker with multi-topic publish/subscribe
• OPC UA — session/subscription server with a real address space
• Modbus TCP — coils, discrete inputs, holding & input registers
• BACnet/IP — Who-Is/I-Am discovery, ReadProperty/WriteProperty
• DNP3 — link/transport/application layers, Class 0 polling, Direct Operate
• EtherNet/IP — CIP explicit messaging (Get/Set_Attribute_Single)
• SNMP v2c — GET/GETNEXT/SET plus trap notifications
• AMQP 0-9-1 — full exchange/queue/consumer message broker
• CoAP — RFC 7252 with the Observe extension for live push updates
• HART-IP — session-managed Pass-Through with Universal Commands
• LoRaWAN — a real Network Server speaking the Semtech UDP protocol, with AES-128/CMAC frame encryption and authentication

Every protocol, both directions. Each simulator supports multiple simultaneous tags, points, or objects — build out a small virtual plant, not just one sensor. And every protocol also has a matching built-in client on the Client tab, so you can test your simulator (or any other real device on your network) without installing a second app or opening a terminal.

Built for real testing, not demos:
• Live, scrollable activity logs for every simulator and client
• Save and reuse connection presets per protocol — host, port, credentials, and protocol-specific settings
• Automatic detection of your iPhone's network address, so external clients always know where to connect
• Configurable value patterns (random, sine wave, ramp, static) for realistic simulated data

Who it's for:
Automation and controls engineers validating SCADA/HMI integrations, QA teams testing IoT gateways and protocol converters, product developers building device firmware against real-world protocols, and students or instructors learning how industrial protocols actually work on the wire.

Fieldsim is iOS-native, built entirely on Apple's Network framework — fast, lightweight, and works over Wi-Fi with any device on the same network.
