Hello Ramovsky; Here is some information on Thin Client hardware and software requirements, from the support pagesl and the A&D Mall: Your design would appear to be served by the RDP configuration described below. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier FAQ: Simatic Thin Client option in a plant: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/35122024 SIMATIC HMI HMI device Thin Client, Thin Client PRO manual http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/26095404 -Hardware equipment The Thin Client is supplied with a 10" or 15" TFT display with 64 K colors. You operate the Thin Client via the touch screen or a keyboard or mouse that is connected to the USB port.The Thin Client plug-in devices are compatible in terms of mounting cutout and design with the HMI devices MP 277 and MP 377 of the respective dimensions.
The Thin Client can fulfill the following functions as an operator terminal: ● Access to an HMI device as a client via the Sm@rtAccess option ● Access to Windows programs via the "RDP" protocol as a client ● Starting the Web browser When accessing a server as a client, for example, an HMI device or a PC, the display of the server is depicted on the screen of the Thin Client. You access programs or projects on the server with the Thin Client The Thin Client communicates with a host, e.g. an HMI device, Panel PC or server via Sm@rtAccess or the standard RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) by Microsoft. A web browser is also incorporated to enable access to simple web sites. The Thin Client itself does not require any installation, no licenses and no additional software. You can also bridge greater distances via Ethernet. Using Sm@rtAccess you can operate WinCC flexible projects on other HMI devices or Panel PCs from the Thin Client. Via the RDP connection you can operate HMI applications, e.g. WinCC and Office applications, e.g. MS Excel or SAP directly on the Thin Client on the machine. -Server Overview RDP, "Remote Desktop Protocol", is a protocol used by the Thin Client to access a server with Windows operating system such as Windows Vista or Windows Server 2003. TheThin Client can access all programs running on the server, provided these programs wereeleased for remote access. -Windows Server 2003 licensing You do not require any licenses on the Thin Client to access the server. You require the following server licenses: ● One Windows Server license per server ● One Windows Server Client Access License (CAL) per Thin Client ● Also one Terminal Server Client Access License "TS Device CAL" per Thin Client, either – a TS Device CAL for access by any user or – a TS Device CAL for access by any device. Detailed information on licenses and applicable conditions of use are available on the Internet under"http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/termservlic.mspx".. |

Thanks for reply, but I don't understand how can I have DIFFERENT screens from ONE PC with WinCC Flex? Can I run several RT simultaneously? |
