Overview
TwinCAT PLC HMI Web is a TwinCAT supplement product offering web-based visualization pages from the TwinCAT PLC.
TwinCAT PLC HMI Web can be installed via Setup.
The IEC1131 PLC "TwinCAT PLC Control" is available as HTML editor. The process of creating the visualization pages in TwinCAT PLC-Control is analogous to "TwinCAT Target Visualization" and "TwinCAT PLC HMI" visualization.
In addition to compiling the PLC code, the visualization pages are also converted to HTML pages and transferred to the target control system together with the PLC project.
The seamless integration into TwinCAT PLC Control has the advantage that, in addition to creating the IEC1131 PLC code for the visualization, all variables for the TwinCAT PLC control program are directly available.

A license is required for each Runtime (CE/XP). (The editor is included "free of charge" in TwinCAT PLC Control).
