Hi,
I have a *C7 635 KEY* combined PLC/HMI. I need to move a full panel with this Unit on the door from a production area due to a water issue. I was hoping to programme a small Hmi for the production area and connect to the C7 635 unit so the process could still be controlled from the factory floor.
1) Is it possible to connect a second hmi to this type of unit, and what would be a nice compact HMI for just a start stop control and a few Analogue setpoints. I really dont want massive graphics on this screen
2) which port would you use and is there a certain cable that can be used for this communication.
Many thanks in advance for any advice given
It is my first time using siemens software, as I have been using allen bradley
for the past 10 years. and never explored siemens
Once Again Thanks for any advice given
