<p>Dear Mr. Hagemeister, <br>
</p>
<p>thanks for your insights!<br>
How does it come, that I never stumbled over that architecture
graphic?<br>
That's why I think a Wiki would be great - actually there is one
as Gavin reported:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.com/groups/etherlab.org/-/wikis/home">https://gitlab.com/groups/etherlab.org/-/wikis/home</a><br>
How could we contribute to this Wiki?</p>
<p>I'm rather familiar with Qt, but not with QML. <br>
</p>
<p>Nowadays - especially in the consumer market - things should be
controllable via mobile devices. That's why a Web UI would be
required for us. <br>
BTW: Yesterday I wrote a simple text UI for Linux shells to browse
ESI (XML) files:

<p>Kind regards, <br>

<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>
