How To: Call a visualization of one CODESYS 3 program to a second PLC visualization

You will first of all want to add a button to call the new visualization. Once the button is added, you will want to go to the properties, expand Input Configuration, and click on configure:

This will bring up the following pop-up window:

Select, Execute Command, press the arrow to transfer it to the command to be used. Make sure you select “Navigate to URL (Webvise)” option in the dropdown in the top right of the window. Then, you would type the following command in the 1st Parameter:

‘https://“myipaddress”/webvisu/webvisu.htm’ - where “myipaddress” will be replaced with the IP address of the PLC you are going to jump to, i.e. ‘https://192.168.1.17/webvisu/webvisu.htm

The second parameter, you will want to type ‘replace’.
Of course, you will want to add a button to the other application to allow you to get back to the first.
