A vendor supplies a skid with an 3rd party PLC (ControLogix) to an HMI. If we direct them to use WinCC as their HMI is there a way absorb their screens into the PCS7 Multiproject so a person could navigate to them? I don't need directions, just curious if it's something that's done/supported? Thanks!

Regarding to Rockwell check the entry under: "Integration of a Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley Controller with PCS 7/OPEN OS V8.1". I hope I could help!

Have a look at this article: How in PCS 7 do you configure the cross-multiproject access to the OS servers (multiclient mode) for an OS client? The example works with PCS7 all the way. Anyways that is the closest I found... Note: Well the way I see the Integration of third-party Systems with SIMATIC PCS 7/OPEN OS seems to be be the safest option. I hope I could help!
