Overhead visualization for Headless PLC

[Jake Lyddy]

I’m interested to know if anyone has ever found a visualization solution to broadcast HMI screens overhead for OEE / KPI / Andon displays to incorporate UniLogic HMI visualizations.
 

ideally, a graphics card with an HDMI output on a headless PLC would be an ideal solution, but in lieu of that, a sort of a “VNC appliance” device to mount on the back of a television would be ideal.

You can access USC PLC from external device by 2 ways:

1. If Smart TV is android based - install and use VNC client to access PLC.

2. If Smart TV has Internet browser - use it to access PLC WEB pages..

3. If the device is a dumb TV or a simple HDMI monitor, then buy an Android set-top box with Ethernet port, and use it to make the TV "smart".

Also there are numerous vendors selling exactly that: a DIN-rail mounted panel device which has Ethernet and HDMI port, which can display a generated HMI.
