Siemens TP700 Comfort as Ignition web client

shabir.ahmed · June 10, 2023, 2:17pm

Hi members,
Did anyone tried to use Siemens TP700 HMI as web client in Perspective. I have small application to show water levels. It should connect with gateway on server and show the session same as other SCADA do. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shabir

The WebBrowser in the HMI panels has only limited javascript support. It is not possible to run Perspective. My last try was firmware V16 but i dont think that the browser changed in newer versions.

I think you will have more chance with the Unified panel MTP700 since this is also fully web based. but I never try it.

Thanks for valued feedback. What hardware do you have used so far with Ignition for Perspective HMIs display. I have pumping station and a common control room, I am looking for a display solution for the complete project. I am looking displays with embedded PC to directly mount it anywhere in plant for example performance board, operator display etc.

He are currently still looking for the correct hardware.
We tested multiple web panel like the ITC from Siemens or the WP series from Phoenix Contact and they don't fit what we need. (Not full HD, loading time is too long,...) So we will go to the panel PC but with are still testing some brand.

Thanks Arnaud, I am looking for the same but i tried earlier thin clients based solution for AVEVA System platform and PCVeu but don't know how it will work for Ignition.

Hi,

I have the same problem with TP1200 and TP900 Comfort with Windows CE 6. Did You find any solution?

I only touch Siemens if the customer forces me to; I never install it.

Are we referring to this above?

If so, I can get an OnLogic Cl210-11 and an IP66 touchscreen Monitor from Hope Industrial systems for WAY less. Even with RAM going mad in the last year.

I use these because Hope stuff is never in stock and takes forever to order in. Super cost effective here too.

I’m in Ireland, the Hope Distributor I deal with delivers in circa 3 days.

That would be a Hopeless distributor then.

TP panel from Siemens are obsolete since October last year and are now in the phase out. I tested to work with and MTP (Unified panel) with a small page the loading was correct. when we try to load a full p&id with pipes then it becomes slower and slower significantly.

We are using two solution depending of the PLC brand:

Siemens we use a panel PC Siemens SiePortal
Allen Bradley we use a combo Onlogic IPC + Rockwell Asem monitor.
We then install Debian and our own kiosk solution (That i cannot share).

Hope this helps
