Goodmorning,
I would need to set a control station that can manage a PLC network.
In short I need to access to all visu programmed in any PLC of the network (LAN).
I was thinking to use a PLC with buttons that call, by mean an IP address, the visu of any PLC.
I don't know if it is possible but I saw that there is a RemoteVisuTarget that run CODESYS Control Win V3.
Can someone suggest me how to create a remote main control station from a normal PC?
Thanks,
Riccardo

Maybe the CODESYS HMI is a good solution. https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-hmi-sl-bundle.html
Run this on the remote main control station.
In the HMI application you can add the data source manager and to this manager you can add Data sources. A data source has a reference to the PLC you want to connect to and can get access to the variables of the PLC application. You can then use these variables in the visualization of the HMI application.

I would figure out, how to create a simple html webpage with 2 frames. One frame with buttons to select the plc.
A second frame with hyperlink to the webvisu of the plc ("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080/webvisu.htm").
Selecting other PLC Button has to change the hyperlink in 2. frame. Costs only some time to figure out :-)
Or setup a raspberry Pi with small visualization. Set up a button for each plc and add one browser element. Each button writes the URL of the depending plc to the URL setting of the browserelement. Costs 55€ for runtime licence and a Raspberry Pi.
