I would like to make an overview of project data available to my customers via web browser. Currently, we make a special screen in the C-more, then display this as a .jpg image on a web page. This works ok, but the .jpg image can take a while to load. Is there a way to display tag data directly as text on the web page? I know there is some provision for this: For example, the default index.html displays the Cmore firmware version number by the code %VER% . Can other tags be displayed this way, or a similar method? Thanks, Kevin

There is not a way to embed tags in a HTML page at this time.
Sending an email with embedded tags may be a better solution for now.
The reason it takes time to load the screen is:
- When the webpage is opened, C-more has to get tag values from the PLC and generate the screen if it is NOT the currently displayed screen on the panel.
- And then, C-more generates the jpeg file and sends it to the web browser.

What would make my life easier would be a XML file on the main http:// folder of the web server with a listing of all the tags and their values. It wouldn't have to update that fast to increasingly useful. Maybe every 3-5 seconds.

Yuuup! An excellent suggestion.
