Currently I'm working on a machine which utilizes two 15" Graphite HMI's.
I have been told that it is possible to communicate between the two seamlessly.
We want to be able to constantly access (read/write) data tags over the connection between the two HMI's and send commands through (eg. press a button on HMI_1 which opens a page on HMI_2).
After spending the last week going through all available resources I have not found a single case of this being documented.
I have been unable to find any HMI to HMI drivers that can be used with any of the communication ports.
I've also tried communicating over a single Ethernet cable and sending packets of data over manually. It looks like it can be done. But it will be inefficient, thus not viable for this application.
I'm hoping to get some input from Red Lion about whether it is possible, and if so which method you recommend to accomplish this.
Regards,
Richard
