Another vote for Siemens Comfort Panels. Significantly cheaper than Panelviews, in our experience easier to program and easier to integrate with AB PLCs than their own HMIs. If a screen goes out you can simulate from a PC in TIA Portal to keep the system running. Plus if you’ve been using Siemens PLCs maybe you’re familiar with them?
Two drawbacks, one minor being you have to export/import tags between Logix and TIAP, and one major being there’s no way to upload a project off the HMI if you need to make changes. Its utterly flabbergasting and really unacceptable in for a product in 2021.
Even with those flaws I highly recommend taking a look.
