How to use an IPC as an active panel in control plus

[halitekmekciogl]

Hello Community,

I'd like to know if it's possible to use a windows based IPC  is able to run control plus active panel HMI runtime. ( Advantech windows based IPC)

If yes, which environment, services and and drivers will need?

Also, will I need a licence for HMI runtime?

Thank you,

Halit.

Technically, it is possible to use almost any Windows IPC to run the HMI. Without the infrastructure provided by the Nexeed target system image, some important features like  e.g. deployment won't work though. Apart from that, BCI will not provide any support for such use-cases.

A separate license for an additional HMI is not required. The Control plus license is managed by the License server on the PLC hardware. The HMI will contact that license server in order to check the license.

You can buy for example a C6017 as sparepart from BCI and using this.

With this device you have a device with our image and you have the complete range of functions that nexeedator means.
