    1 Problem Definition 1.1 Introduction

    In many parts of industrial and production plants, it is advisable, from a production and safety perspective, to monitor operation using a webcam. Especially for parts that are difficult for the operator to see, monitoring using webcams provides a solution. To ensure that the operator always has an eye on the display of the webcam, the live stream of the webcam is displayed directly in Runtime of the TIA Portal user interface. Therefore, the operator has quick access to the webcam and thus to his/her plant. This application offers you the following advantages: Preselection of usable webcams in TIA Portal Implementation with TIA Portal standard means Low configuration overhead when realizing in your own plant Access from TIA Portal to the internal webcam of the iPad for service and

    diagnostic purposes This application saves you significant amounts of time in selecting a webcam and configuring in TIA Portal.

    8 Notes, Tips and Tricks 8.1 Replacing the webcam

    If you are using a different webcam for your application, make sure that the ActiveX control element for this webcam is installed. Only then can you display the live streams in the HTML browser.

    8.2 Computer used

    Instead of the SIMATIC IPC847C, you can also use another IPC (e.g., SIMATIC HMI IPC477C Panel PC).

    8.3 Displaying several webcams in one screen

    For example in a screen, you can insert several HTML browsers to output different webcam images via one screen. Therefore, the screen can be used to simultaneously monitor several stations. Figure 8-1

    8.4 Accessing the Apple iPad webcam

    For diagnostic and service purposes, it is possible to access the integrated webcam of the Apple iPad from WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional.

    In order to use this function, you need an app on the Apple iPad that ports the integrated webcam to a mobile WiFi network IP camera. This app allows access to the webcam using Internet Explorer provided that both are in the same network. The function was created with the following app that can be purchased from Apples App Store: ipCam Mobile IP Camera

    2. App settings:

    In Options of the app, you can make settings with regard to the live stream to be transmitted. With the settings shown on the right, the live stream can be displayed in WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional.

    3. App settings:

    In Advanced, you can make settings with regard to the network connection. With the settings shown on the right, the live stream can be displayed in WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional.

    4. Settings in WinCC Advanced:

    To display the live stream of the iPad webcam in WinCC Runtime Advanced, you have to insert an HTML control. As the IP address of the iPad can change, the IP address must be variably transferred to the HTML control. For this purpose, create an internal tag and parameterize it as shown in the screen on the right.

    8.5 Using the AXIS 207MW on SIMATIC Panels

    For SIMATIC Panels, it is not possible to install an ActiveX control element. Therefore, a live stream of the webcam cannot be displayed using a panel. When using the AXIS 207MW webcam, the option exists to update the HTML page with the aid of a JavaScript depending on the set time. Therefore, the user has the option to display a current image of the webcam in the HTML browser, for example, every second. This solution was created in conjunction with the TP900 Comfort. To automatically update the image of the webcam in the HTML browser, proceed as follows:

    Note Please note that running scripts influences the panel performance.
