V18: issue related to screen resolution and scaling

Schlaubi Jens

yes its possible because you work with an browser and you must acitvate the zoom of the frame.

Currently, I'm working with WinCC Unified V18 and facing an issue related to screen resolution and scaling. I have an MTP700 UNIFIED CONFORT HMI with a resolution of 480x800 and a SIMATIC UNIFIED PC STATION with a resolution of 768x1024, where the server is hosted, and I can access it through the HMI. However, the screens have different resolutions and are not proportional. As a result, when I view the PC on the HMI, the screen isn't completely filled, and manual zoom adjustments are insufficient due to the differing scales.

I would like to know if WinCC Unified has a built-in automatic scaling feature that can adjust the size and position of objects on the screen to match the resolution of the device where the project is being displayed.

Is there a way to enable automatic scaling or a similar functionality to ensure that my project is displayed correctly on screens with varying resolutions, without manual adjustments? If such a feature exists, could you provide guidance on how to use it effectively?

If such a feature doesn't exist in WinCC Unified, could you suggest best practices or alternative solutions for designing projects that adapt well to different screen resolutions?

Hi @AutoGen_605389, you can do what you want on SIMATIC Runtime Manager, select the project you want (it must be stopped), click the gear symbol (Settings) and check the box at Autoscale - Adapt screen to window.

 Hi, The PC runtime has the correct dimensions, the MTP700 accesses the PC through a web control window and in the HMI I can't fill the entire screen. I applied this runtime option but it didn't work

It doesn't work only on the HMI or anywhere?

Hello @AutoGen_605389

I have seen an example solution from Siemens where they react in scripts to the client´s resolution to change the position and scale of screenwindows to get a dynamic screenlayout.

but this is custommade and not a quick build in solution 

You can read out the screenresolution in a script in a screen-context on the Client with:

UI.GetClientInfo

there is an example how to use the function in the Help System(search for "GetClientInfo")
