Two iX panels connecte to one PLC
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:48 am
Hello everyone
I have a "x2 pro 15" panel which is connected to a Siemens S7-300 PLC (S7IsoTcp). Additionally I need a secondary "x2 pro 15" panel on which I should be able to have full access (read/write) like to the primary "x2 pro 15" panel.
Is it possible to connect the two "x2 pro 15" panels by ethernet directly to the PLC? And moreover can I lock a panel if there are operations on the other? I need two panels with the same HMI, either operating panel one or panel two, but not both at the same time.
I've seen the topic "Sharing tag values between two iX panels" in this forum. Do I have to make also a "OPC UA server" on the primary panel?
I'm running iX Developer 2.40
Kind regards
Lars
