WebServer alternative to Embedded UI?

[LBESi]

Hello LabVIEW community,

I want to say thanks for taking any time to read this and lend a hand.

Here is the scenario: I developed an application in preparation for a control system on a cRIO 9035 which had the embedded UI feature. The actual installation has a cRIO 9073 which does not have an embedded UI. The plan was to use the embedded ui and webserver to control it remotely anywhere on the network.

Two questions:

1) Is the Webserver still a viable option for control with front panel loaded as the .rtexe application? Or is an embedded UI a prerequisite for this approach?

2) Is there an easy alternative to using property nodes to get front panel objects and map the I/O onto them?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

V/r

Hi Ryan,

Are you trying to control the cRIO 9073 using the cRIO 9035? or do you want to deploy the application built in the cRIO 9073 on the 9035?

If you're looking to use remote front panels, the following resources may be helpful:

Apologies for the confusion. Yes to deploying the application built on 9035 to the less powerful 9073.

But thank you, that answers my question! Printed out that walkthrough and will set it up.
