2 monitors with PCS7

Hi everybody,

I'd like to use 2 SCADA monitors (1 PC and two screen)  on my PCS7 system which's v6.2.1

I selected "2 monitor option" from project editors in WinCC explorer and configured my pc video card typed NVIDIA QUADRO FX370 but I couldnt get the graphic on both monitors, only one indicated.

please tell me what is the solution?

thanks in advance

Hello erk;

Do you have the multi-VGA card option for WinCC v6? I believe it is required for that version.

If yes, follow the instructions in this FAQ:

Display of oversize process pictures spread over several monitors

If not, you can do it manually (with a bit more work of course): start by detecting/activating both monitors through the Windows OS Control Panel. Then in WinCC create a single PDL with a double resolution (enough to cover both monitors). I would then create 2 picture windows inside this PDL dividing the screen in 2 (each one for one monitor) and showing a different view of your project in each.

See the following discussion for hints:
