Seeking ideas here. This is not really VPN access but just to let someone have view-only access to local HMI screens on their phone from anywhere. I explored options about it seem they all involving logging into VPN first even if the HMI is web-based like Ignition.
So I'm down to the following options, not sure if these will work:
-Web page HMI + mobile VPN
For example, Iginition Edge that allows one remote client. If the phone can log into the VPN then the phone's browser can be used to open the web client page, right?
-Cloud based Dashboard
I understand E*on and Stridelinx both offer user build webpage in their cloud to display some values from the local control-system. These will obvious looks different than the local HMI but maybe all I need. How quickly do the value update and how much graphic ability do these web page offer?
