Anything is possible. what is your programming skill level and how much time do you want to invest. You need to create custom web controls and have the web page periodically request updates.

But if you want something very basic, the BasicwebServer will send a snapshot of the screen to a web browser.

All of the AdvancedHMI controls are based on WinForms which only works in Windows (and Linux under Mono), so they do not work in a web browser. The closest you can get to what you want is to use a small Windows tablet.

Actually its not that difficult but it can be time consuming depending on what you want to control and how much you want to control. I have used php to control vb6 apps in the past and it works flawlessly. With PLC's it is a matter of safety to keep in mind.
