I suspect an easily configurable custom page with basic monitoring/control capabilities would be high on the list of nice to have features for many people. I know you guys are working hard on a lot of things (I certainly appreciate the effort) but I hope you've been making improvements to the Documentation Editor portion of the controller. The more I attempt to use it the more frustrated I become with it. The fact that you can't filter and you can't pull the Documentation Editor into a separate window (so that it can be viewed as you're editing) are high on my gripe list. I've started doing some programming in TIA Portal and the ability to use OB's to group tags is a substantially better approach IMO. I hope there's some way that you guys can implement something similar.

Is there a way to access resources on the SD card from the web server, or must it all be on the RAM? For example, could I add a modbus library to the SD card to use to write coils to the BRX?

You can run web content from the SDCard. If there is some form of client side Modbus scripting that can be read from the server, then theoretically yes. I am unfamiliar with that, but my web knowledge is limited. At this point, there is nothing server side that can set internal data.

I'm wrapping my head around this.  The aptly named help file was helpful.

RAM files can be accessed at ipaddress/up/
SDCard files can be accessed at ipaddress/sd/

I now understand I can't run dependencies on the SDCard, as it doesn't run a full stack like XAMPP.
I will continue to look for a javascript based client side modbus tcp package.

On a related note, is there a way to sort the User Log page in reverse chronological order?  Newest User Log posting at the top?  I guess the same question could apply to System Log.

Any comment on this?

Wouldn't be hard to add. Just have a really big pile to chew through right now.
