<font face="monospace">Hallo Karl,<br>
<br>
you guessed right. The other components on etherlab.org are mainly
for gui integration and connection to non realtime services.<br>
You are looking for pdserv (on the server side) and pdcom (on the
client side) for the (network) communication to/from the realtime
task(s), managing all the data buffering and locking stuff between
realtime and non realtime parts of your control application,
opening (multiple) sockets... Look at the example in pdserv.<br>
<br>
QtPdCom1, QtPdWidgets2 and PdQmlWidgets are your friends if you
want to write gui applications who connect to realtime tasks (via
network).<br>
<br>
Testmanager(-ng) is a gui for visualizing control process data.<br>
<br>
DLS is a service (and gui) for long term data storage.<br>
<br>
We do not have a bus state monitor yet (apart from the ethercat
commands); but it would be a cool tool but non of us had time to
realize it up until now.<br>

<p>Hi, <br>
</p>
<p>I did some minor projects with the IGH EtherCAT master. I wrote
some C programs, which use the ethercat library to access slave
data. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm wondering, how to go on from there. <br>
</p>
<p>How should a HMI connection be implemented? Are Unix sockets
the way to go?</p>
<p>Are there projects, to visualize the complete busstate in a
non-realtime fashion via a web-UI?<br>
Or are there home automation efforts already done with
EtherCAT/Beckhoff, but without the clumsy TwinCAT system?<br>
</p>
<p>I'd like to implement something like this: <br>

<p>How do the side projects of IGH Etherlab help here?<br>
