Remote Control

The Remote Control option allows a UI element to be controlled by an external system such as CODESYS. Once enabled, the element can not only send data out (e.g. through variable binding) but also receive incoming commands or updates from the control system.

Use Cases

• Remotely toggle a switch from PLC logic
• Update input fields based on external values
• Activate or deactivate buttons through runtime signals

Requirements

Before activating Remote Control:

• A valid Connection String must be defined
• The connection must be properly established with the target system

Behavior

Once Remote Control is enabled:

• The element becomes remotely addressable
• It reacts to incoming values or control signals
• It remains synchronized with the external system’s logic

This feature enables full two-way integration between the UI and external control environments.
