20 PLC HMI
« on: October 08, 2019, 02:15:54 AM »
Hi community,

I would like to make an HMI (a simple and unique page) but talking with 20 PLCs (CLX) about 10 tag per each. From your experience, are there any recommendations or limitations doing this? Also are there any good practice doing this?

Thanks for your feedback.

Do you want a single page showing data from 10 PLCs? Or do you want 10 pages that are all the same except showing data from different PLCs?

200 tags on one form or broken up will not be a problem.  If you do multiple forms make sure to use Archie's driver code to prevent comms when not on that form.  This code is on the MainForm when you download the app.

I want one unique page with infos coming from 20 different PLC's.

Just worried about the app coming slow if the poll rate is too high for each PLC.
