From one screen to control process on first PLC and from another screen to control second process on second PLC? Each of PLC and HMI panel is going to be on the same MPI network. Or should I use another solution? Thanks

In WinCC flexible / Protool, you will make two connections. One with the first MPI address and the second for the second MPI address. Each tag you have to create, you should select one of these two connections. May be you have M10.5 for connection 1 and M10.5 for connection 2. That was a general answer. As each panel have a limitation on the number of connections according to this FAQ: What is the maximum number of simultaneously active controller connections you can configure for a panel? But there is another way to connect more controllers. I believe it is not you case, but may be this piece of info will be useful for you and somebody else. For more details: How can you have any number of automation systems addressed one after the other by the "Change Connection" function with WinCC flexible PC Runtime or a Panel? Hope this helps.
