I have found many limitations with the Alarm tables so I have been thinking of a better control to retrieve and display events to users among other things. I have read through the web visualization manual but it is not clear how if at all an ActiveX object can be displayed. I am using a windows CE box running CoDeSys and I want to extend some of the functionality of CoDeSys through better visualizations using the .net enviroment but I am not sure if there is any compatibility with the web service. What are the limitations on Active X and the web server? One thing I am trying to do is remove the dependency of strings from with in the PLC code. Decoding event codes and translating them into human readable string/sentences is best performed by windows software not PLC software.
Is it possible or is there a manual for calling windows dll's from within CoDeSys or do I need to create FB that perform the task?
If I can't have an ActiveX displayed via the web I can still use the CoDeSys table control to display my custom data.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
