Hi
I have already make an indusoft based HMI for an IP CAMERA, the are total of 10 ip camera.
"
The HMI screen compromise of 2 parts, 1 section is all the monitoring and control screen and the other part is another screen with an "active-x microsoft web browser" which is used to interface/access to the ip camera.
this ipcamera will give me some data at some conditions as per configured in the camera settings. and now i need to read/get the data provided by the camera into my "indusoft tags or whatsover" so that i can activate some controls/indicator based on the data that i received.
The camera manual provider told me i can get the data by TCPIP HTTP CGI.
so my question is as indusoft is also web based HMI, some-or-rather it sure support TCPIP HTTP CGI right?? how do i receive TCPIP HTTP CGI commands from the camera or how do i send a TCPIP HTTP CGI command to the ip camera by using indusoft?? anyway idea or pointer on how to i start or plan this... i mean if i put the http cgi command in the webbrowser URL, it will show the webpage containing the data, but i need take the data and use it in my indusoft tags.
as mentioned before my other screen which is a webbrowser dedicated just to view the camera and also used to configure the camera, but once it has been configured, then screen is only to view the camera, but once the camera detects something, i need to receive it by TCPIP HTTP CGI "string/data"
can i use the TXRX TCPIP driver worksheet to do this?? or how?? what method is provided by indusoft so that i can send and receive TCPIP HTTP CGI, but if using TXRX driver, i need write a parsing code to extract the data right??
anyway to make clear what im asking, let say for example it SNMP data, i can use indusoft SNMPGet( ) to send and receive sthg,
similar to this if i need receive something by TCPIP HTTP CGI , how to get it?? so basically i need received some data from 10 IP camera by HTTP CGI.
so the ipcamera will be sending me a TCPIP HTTP CGI data when it meet some conditions, then how do i received it using indusoft??
