I am interested in using the HMI to graphically show the contents of PIC 
registers. In the industrial PLC world, OPC drivers would be used that 
communicate with the PLC and retrieve predefined registers (tags). I 
guess I should have asked if anyone has done this with a PIC. If so, how 
is the software connection with the PIC accomplished assuming the 
hardware connection is via serial port to the PIC UART? Would I have to 
write a custom driver for the Wonderware, as well as the requisite code 
for the PIC that would make register data available to the UART?
