HMI Screen Mirroring

Hi Forum,

I want to know, whether any screen mirroring is possible or not for HMI - TP177B or we can use any module. Actual Reuirement is : I am having an HMI - TP177B and want to see the screens in the big monitor through VGA cable or some other type of communication. So, is it possible to do screen mirroring to this hmi or there are any other ways to do. Just Monitoring the screens of hmi in Big monitor, no operation is required. when hmi screen changes, monitor screen also should change.

The PLC i am using is S7-200 CPU.

in general i want to know is there any screen mirroring or any convertor. i want to view the screen of hmi in monitor. when hmi screen is navigated, the monitor screen should also be automatically navigated.

Please Help me guys.....

Hello Murof,

Thanks for ur reply.

I want to have it still more in detail.

1."You can start a VNC Server on the Panel" : Panel is indicating an HMI or an Computer installed with VNC.

2. From HMI to monitor(vga port enabled or HDMI or Digital VGA port) : is there any type of connectivity we can do with out Computer CPU(only with monitor).

3. If i do screen mirroring, i should not able to operate. it is only monitoring purpose of what operator is doing and what values he is changing.

4. When operator is navigating the HMI, the screen to which it has connected, should also get navigated.

Answers:

1. In your WinCC flexible project you can go to Device Settings and then to Runtime Services here you can aktivate Sm@rtServer.
When you do a transfer to the Panel the Option will be installed and the vnc Server (in Siemens language-> Sm@rt Server) will be started.
2.)your panel has to be connected with its ethernet port to the network where the PC with the Monitor is.
You need of course a PC or a thin client to display the Picture (VNC Client).
Its not possible to connect a normal Monitor to the Panel
3)You have to login when you connect over vnc. In the WinCC internet settings on your panel you can administrate the passwords.
4)you can see the same picture on both screens. Its normal VNC Functionality (with little customisations from Siemens)
