Title: Ethernet Devices
Post by: testone on May 28, 2010, 11:01:34 AM

I have never used the ethernet devices that AD sells.  I just want to know if there is any way for the plc to post a short cut to the internet, basically requesting an html page and adding some post request tags similar to:

Code: [Select]

http://www.mynewsite.com/?user=me&pass=you&data1=4444&data2=5555Everything after the ? would have to be dynamic and change with each request.

Basically, I want my website to see the request, see the user and pass and then save data1, data2 to a file on the web server.  That part is already done, I just need a device that can post the data.

Thanks.

Why not have the PLC email you the information, then parse the email and update your database?
