I tried it. But with no success. Adding ASP.NET page to the project doesn't seem to work. Can anyone please try this? I wanna make sure that i'm not doing anything wrong.

Is there any other way? Just display a single value from PLC in my web page. Thats all i need.. Please help

Isn't it just as good to use TeamViewer or similar program to just view the Remote Desktop?

Using remote desktop, only one person can use the system at a time. And it takes time for connection. That does not really serve the purpose of web scada. In manufacturing industries time is money and getting the information at the right time may be priceless.

With a web scada server connected to a wifi router. Anybody who has a capable smart phone (which is almost everyone) within the range of the router can get connected to the machine. This way everybody has the tool to get connected and any modification i need to do can be done by just editing the server codes. Thats the key, make your machine communicate with everyone. Managers, engineers, technicians, supervisors and even operators. Everybody sud know the status of the machine real-time. That reduces the breakdown time and improves the OEE.

Actually i will restict this broadcasting within my plant. I wont dare connecting my PLC network to the internet. Attacks can come from anyone with moderate hacking skills. Thats a risk not worth taking. There are times when long distance remote access is required. But thats another topic.
