System and method for accessing and using internal resources of a mobile device used in connection with and as a part of an industrial device or as a development tool

A system to access and use the internal resources of a mobile device used in connection with and as a part of an industrial device, the system comprising:

• a mobile device comprising a mobile processor, a USB data interface, and a plurality of internal resources;
• an IOTKIT comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) with a Bluetooth serial interface, a USB serial interface that connects to the USB data interface of the mobile device, a 433 MHz transceiver, and a microprocessor;
• an industrial device that operates in a productive environment, said industrial device comprising a pre-existing app, an access panel, and an operating unit interface to which the IOTKIT is connected, wherein the IOTKIT enables a connection between the industrial device and the mobile device;
• a monitor program that is installed on the mobile device and runs on the mobile processor during execution to provide access to the plurality of internal resource of the mobile device and a user interface corresponding to a pre-existing app of the industrial device, wherein the IOTKIT allows a user to communicate with the monitor program to send commands and request data, wherein the monitor program transmits user commands and requests for data to the industrial device when the monitor program receives said user commands and requests for data via the IOTKIT;
• and
• a web server that receives a serial stream of data output in response to the commands and requests for data transmitted from the monitor program to the industrial device.
