Overview

The Web-Visualization is a target specific application of a CoDeSys visualization.

CoDeSys can create XML descriptions of the visualization objects and download them to the PLC. There a web server will provide the PLC data in XML format too and thus can create a continuously updated visualization which can be opened in the web browser of any computer which is connected via Internet, independently from the target platform (e.g. useful for remote maintenance purposes).

Note

Regard the Restrictions and Special Features when programming for a Web-Visualization.

The web server can connect dynamically to several controllers if configured appropriately. Visualization elements can be configured in a way that they will effect a connection change to another target system.

Note

Before a download regard the current setting of option ‘Prevent download of visualization files’ in the target settings. This concerns all files which are in the directory for visualization files!
