Hello everyone. In a factory, there are independent SCADA systems (such as WinCC RT) and PLCs (S7-300 & S7-400). The customer is looking to remotely monitor and control these systems using a single computer. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

Tulip inquired about creating a multiclient in WinCC SCADA, allowing clients to pull from multiple WinCC runtimes. While it's assumed that all runtimes need to be the same version, it's not my expertise. The current version is V8, which may complicate obtaining the right installers or licenses. However, current licenses typically activate older versions as well.
I'd definitely recommend utilizing an integrated platform such as TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal from Siemens. It provides a comprehensive range of streamlined solutions suitable for Siemens SCADA and PLCs like S7-300 & S7-400. What's more, it allows for remote monitoring and control functions to be centralized on one computer, which is exactly what your customer is looking for. An added advantage is that it supports seamless compatibility and easy asset management features.
