I am curious if anyone has found an easier way to run a web application through HTML rather than webvisu? from what I can see, I would most likely need to create a custom HTML where I would need to remake my objects or potentially pull from the symbol configuration file. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
First what are you trying to do ?
In the TAG you have PFC300 but the webvisu is already HTML.
If you talk about Codesys 2.3 based controller (750-8xx) you can still use the Java based visu:
or use another tool:
The second item was kinda discontinued because of the way it worked, it needed a lot of space and had some compatibility problem.
Hello, I am running codesys 3.5. We were looking at alternative ways to pull the PLC tag values to a custom HTML, which we currently did using NodeRED. The issue we were running into was NodeRED or running a docker is too resource heavy. We were also looking into alternate ways of doing this such as using a MQTT client/broker setup or OPC UA but were struggling to find a way since we don’t have a centralized PC for this and are just trying to recall the HTML file directly from the PLC.
As a Wago commercial solution you have the PLCvisu:
And as non Wago system I think what you are looking for is a websocket system for data exchange with the plc and a small visu.
I know this is technically possible because the Lighting management system use this technology for cross talk and talking with the php based visu.
