How to write xml file into id and tag values into ignition

Ignition
1

I want to read the xml tags from the device at 192.168.1.100/registers.xml
into ignition and be able to refresh them. Any thought?

example of the modbus file below. it has more registers.

<xml device="KTA-282" firmwareversion="117">
<modbusregisters>
<register id="1">
<value>196</value>
</register>
<register id="2">
<value>0</value>
</register>
<register id="3">
<value>1865</value>
</register>

Isn't this a modbus gateway (also, since the term 'modbusregisters' is an xml tag :wink: )?

You should be able to use the modbus driver and not have to deal with xml scraping.

I already use modbus just seeking a wsy to use xml files

So, a lot more traffic with a lot more processing required (on both ends). Why do you want to go backwards?
