Configuration

Following steps must be taken to set up the WinCC OA mobile UI apps inside your project:

  1. Create a new project (optional; you can also use an existing project)
  2. Add a Panel Topology to your project (optional; the starting panel can also be defined with the config entry mobileRootPanel)
  3. Add a new Control Manager to your project which starts the webclient_http.ctl (see Desktop UI)
  4. Set any required config entries (see Possible Config Entries; optional)
  5. Start your project and the new Control Manager
  6. Connect your device to the project (see Client Side Configuration)
  7. Unlock your device inside of the Device Management panel

  • If no DNS server is available the config entry noReverseLookup = 1 must be used. Furthermore, IP addresses must be used instead of host names for the data and event config entries.

  • To increase the overall performance it is recommended to enable the message compression in your project.

  • Please note that starting with version 3.17 only the HTTPS port can be used for the mobile UI.

    To also use the unencrypted HTTP port the config entry "[httpServer] strictTransportSecurityMaxAge" must be set to 0.
