Hello all,
I've been working on a siemens PLC system using an S7-1200 and a KTP400 Basic HMI. Essentially this system takes in some setup parameters from the HMI and uses these to begin running the program which controls an output from the PLC. The current software has about 8 different HMI screens that are used for inputting parameters and tracking the outputs of the PLC.
My main question was whether the User-defined web pages could practically replace the function of the HMI in the system? Would all PLC data tags/variables be able to be changed and displayed in the user-defined web pages? I see sections for variable reading/writing in the user-defined web page section of the s7-1200 manual, but I wanted to know if there are any limitations to this.
Thank you
