Hellow
A customer of ours has many MP377 HMI's in his company and wants to be able to control everything from one PC in the same way as the HMI's. Some of the HMI's have more then 2000 tags.
When an HMI dies, he wants to be able to control with WinCC Flex Runtime on the PC.
Another thing is being able of trending varibles on a PC.
We have a license for 4096 tags. But, this is not enough, the total amount of tags is around 7000 tags.
All together:
- All HMI's in one PC Runtime project, all connected at once.
- Multiplex by using words instead of bits... group bits in arrays, in this way being able to connect around 7000 tags with a license of 4096 tags.
Are there people out there who have alternatives for this kind of idea ?
The multiplexing thing is a lot of work...
What if we use change connection... are only the power tags used for the chosen connection ?
I was more thinking in a way like:
Making a PC Runtime project and only show what's needed but being able to start an HMI from the Flexible ES.
Ideas ?
Thanks in forward,
Kind regards,
Gerry
