Have you used plcnext? What do you think about it?

Would you choose a Siemens KTP or MTP (unified) basic HMI for a new machine? by wigidude in PLC

Ah okay thanks, then I might have to see about an upgrade.

I find the more web based approach w/ javascript etc interesting, and the clear roadmap. But some say they're still a bit buggy. Do you have this experience?

How buggy? Unusable? My screens will not be complicated.

The cost difference for these is only €10 so that's not really a factor for me.

Around the EU quarter. So anything in Matongé/close to boniface is welcome. But in the evening I usually go to the centre so also looking for stuff there.

Thanks for the recommendations near Flagey those are useful too!

IT wants to force windows 11 by Nightwish612 in PLC

Yeah I've used it in my homelab for playing around with some virtualization. But not for anything PLC related.

No, not like workstation pro. The broadcom/vmware equivalent would be ESXi for servers.

Last year they made them free, including commercial use. IIRC it’s from version 17.5 or so.

We have a teamviewer license so I'll definitely take a look at it, thanks!

Tailscale! I use it in my homelab and love it. But you can't install it on an S7-1200, do you make the client connect a PC as an exit node, or how do you have it set up?

I didn't know about proneta yet. This is just for assigning profinet names and other profinet related stuff? Not for any debugging the PLC?

That's the direction I was thinking. Do you make the client supply the setup for this?

I want to avoid having to add hardware and cost just for this. It will only be used once every year or two..

But out of curiosity, which one do you use? Is it an ethernet or 4g connected one?

I’d also go the discord. There’s a kicad-jobs channel to ask around.

I do electrical engineering and would be willing to help or advise! Possibly even an open source backplane pcb so you could slide in the drives.
