Download QX, NX, and SVGA OCS Web Server Examples

If you want to read or write data over the Internet from your QX Color-Touch OCS, NX Graphical OCS, or SVGA Color-Touch OCS (all-in-one controllers), here's a link to some HTML examples explaining how to do that. To get started, simply download the examples by clicking on the following link:

This OCS Web Demo shows all the capabilities of our Web Server. Web content files can be stored into the OCS file system media (such as CompactFLASH®) by temporarily plugging the media into a PC with an installed card reader, or via Ethernet using FTP.

An OCS HTML file is either static or dynamic. Users can create a static HTML file and store it on the OCS file system media. From special markups in the static HTML file, the HTTP Server creates dynamic HTML files to access OCS Registers. This allows static HTML files to then read and write OCS Registers dynamically.

Simply copy the HTML files to your CompactFLASH card so that you can begin displaying OCS data on your Web browser. In addition, you can send data directly to your OCS model from your Web browser…such as changing information in OCS registers.

One of the best ways to learn how to use the HTTP Web Server is to study these working examples: (on the OCS Web Demo file)
