This is a sample TwinCAT HMI project that uses the MongoDBCoreService extension. The sample shows how to use the extension in different ways.
For the source code for MongoDBCoreService check this repo
MongoDB Server (sample tested with Community Server v6.0.5)
License: TF2200 is needed in the HMI-Server to be able to use this C# Server Extension.
(No license is needed when testing this in the LiveView)
This sample is used with the MongoDB Community Server (tested with v6.0.5)
Download: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
To mimic the sample, open MongoDB Compass and connect to your MongoDB. Once connected create a new database with the name "test" and then add a new collection named "carData".
Once the "carData" is created select it and import JSON file and add the dummy data that is included in the project "carDataOutput.json"
When you open the sample project make sure the MongoDBCoreService has the correct configuration.
The MongoDBCoreService extension has some symbols and methods built in that this sample project uses.
