AdvancedHMI Software

I have been working on a small project and when my supervisor saw what this software could do he asked me to get the data from all the PLC's in the plant.
We have 87 PLC's, all Allen Bradley. There are only a handful that are not on the network.
Question is how many PLC connections can the AdvancedHMI software handle in one Application? Should I break it up into smaller apps?
Thanks

If you are only polling data as needed, essentially there isn't a limit. Unless you have a form open, most times there isn't a need to keep updating. Archie has that code in the main form when you download the application.

There is no limit in the software, but if you poll fairly fast you may reach the limit of your network bandwidth or the speed of your PC.

Most Excellent guys thanks for the information.
I will likely start a new project in the coming weeks.
Thanks
