HMI web server update... (Part 2)

Yesterday we released a new version of the HMI to expand the built in web server features.

The web server can now parse a page request from a web browser for "tags". The tags point to internal HMI data. For example, values collected from a PLC. The tag is replaced with the value and the web page is sent to the web browser. The remaining text in the page is unmodified.

Also, values can be written to the server using a URL with the correct parameters.

This new feature allows for the development of web pages in the programming language required with data collected from the HMI.

MODOPC & LogixOPC...

For each program we released a new demonstration project.

The project demonstrates how to read/write data from/to the OPC server using Excel as the OPC client. Excel 2007 was used.

Each project includes an Excel spreadsheet, with VBA scripting, a program project and a short video covering the parts of the demonstration.

·        The server now allows to define a target page for the first time a user logs on.

·        HTML pages created outside the HMI can now be used.
