I am trying to re-create the CoE online window within a Visu for purposes of checking and interacting with device parameters occasionally for maintenance purposes. To minimize reliance on using the IDE for misc interactions.
Ideally, I would like to exactly mimic the CoE online window within the IDE. I assume that it uses a few tricks to minimize overhead, such as only polling registers which are within the visual scope, for example.
I'm afraid it might be too much to ask for a pre-built drop-in Visu module to exist for this task.
Do I have any options aside from manually re-creating all the logic to do this, relying heavily on SdoInfo function blocks?
Is there a way for me to reference the device ESI file to shortcut the process of determining how many registers there are and getting the address for each?
