RT webservice on allen-bradley panelview HMI?

[Ehlert]

Hello,

anywhere I can find the requirement for the browser that will be used to display wedsites from a RT target?

I've made a simple VI, just some controls and indicators, and I can easily see it IE (even with silverlight disabled) - but the HMI only shows the title, and then an empty picturebox where the VI was expected to be.

I actually just want to show a picture on the webpage, nothing more - any ideas?

Hi,

well I cant really tell if this can run on an RT taget or not, but my guess is no.

hasn't someone outthere had the need for putting information on a 3. party HMI?

Hi Henrik.

You also need to install the LabVIEW Run-Time enginer in order to get Remote Front Panel to work. After this installation, you should be able to use Internet Explore. I have also tried using Firefox, and that seemed to work just fine.

I don't know the HMIs that Allen-bradley is making, but according to this link

it seems they are running on Windows 6.0 CE with limited functionality.

I would recommand a newer OS, like WES7 that are supported by NI.

Another idea is to use Data Dashboard. With this, you can publish data over LAN, and connect an iPad that they are able to show the data, and even give new inputs to your LabVIEW aplication.
