Hello,

Use TCP/IP and a modem of course try checking first if your HMI has a capability to communicate under this protocol.........

Jerry,

There are many methods that can be implemented for Networking multiple HMI's. The methods have a direct relationship with the SCADA HMI software.

For example:

1) Some HMI software such as the software that we use support a dialup network. It is inherent of the application architecture.

2) We have also developed a dialup networking module to enable different applications to be networked. However, the application HMI must have APIs so that we could integrate our module with the HMI.
