Configuring multiple screens on WinCC 7.4 SP1

You want to show the 3 screens on the same monitor?

If so you can use the picture window in the smart objects

So you must use 3 picture windows and specify the "monitor number" in picture window property.

Hello Maycon;

This is how we did it with 2 monitors.

Create a main screen (pdl) of dimensions large enough to cover the size of the 2 screens. Make it the Start screen.

Create 2 separate Picture Windows, each of dimensions of one screen. Place them side by side on the main screen, so that it appears divided in 2. Configure each Picture window to show your specific screens.

Configure the monitors so that they work simultaneously (extended).

Start Runtime.

I believe you can easily use the same technique to open 3 monitors, if you have a graphic card that can handle it.

By the way, there are various discussions on the forum for the same subject,

Here is one:

 Thank you so much.

I tought had a option for this, but has to be this way.

Hello! 

In every case, you have to expand your desktop to all 3 monitors, before you can work with any of proposed sollution....

And another thing:

I see, that you are using WinCC 7.4 SP1. The simplest way to create multiple windows is use of "Os project editor" wizzard, There you soecify the "fill and look" of your SCADA; it makes a really professional look, like PCS7!

This wizzard ( and also "Picture tree" manager) are part of Basic Proces control option, which is free of charge (but must be installed at WinCC RC installation). 

Have fun!
