Hi,

We have 2 WinCC Servers with approx. 30 Web Navigator users. 3 Web Navigators are used for Andon screens. How did we do this... by connecting 4 big TV screens to a PC and open 4 web navigators and drag them to each screen. 4 screens because we used a mattox card. Anyway, so far, so good. This works.

On each Andon screen we can see the production counters of the machines in the neighbourhood of that screen.

I want to add more information on the screens. The problem is, I cannot add it to the counters screen, that would be too much information on one screen. So I want to make something like a presentation... show 3s counters, show 3s machine statusses, show 3s the time, etc...

Is it possible in Web Navigator to make something like auto screen change ?
Or should I make a screen where the screen change is automated via a script when the screen is active ?

What are your toughts ?

Thank you,

Kind regards,
Gerry
 
Thinking that only way is with script. WebNavigator is conversion of WinCC screens so functionality needs to be on WinCC runtime view before it works on Web.

there is couple ways, you can change whole screen to point different PDL picture or make picture window on base screen and only update picture window with different PDL pictures.

Also hiding/closing different layers maybe works. Screen don't need to search values from PLC when screens is changed but it takes maybe more time when screen is opened first time and all tag values is searched from device :unsure:

Could you use multiplexing?

For example you have 3 headers, that change names from the input. And 3 value indicators that change value from the input?

If that makes sense?
 
Thanks for the replies, yes I think I will need to do it in WinCC Runtime with some scripting. I will test what works faster, changing layers or changing screens. Multiplexing for the Title and buttons... maybe yes, but the data on screen will be completely different, one screen shall show production counters and an other screen machine availability and machine statusses. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Gerry
