CIMPLICITY HMI Webspace

Use the widget to access CIMPLICITY CimView screens.

Employ the Webspace widget with other Operations Hub widgets for better consolidation and visualization of data. This provides you with an end-to-end solution for better data analysis, visualization and monitoring. Refer to Integrating Webspace with Operations Hub.

The Webspace widget is available under Integration > HMI. When designing application pages, drag-and-drop the widget to a container, and configure its properties.

Note: Only a single instance of the CIMPLICITY HMI Webspace widget per app is supported. If using multiple instances of webspace widgets across multiple pages, you may encounter access error messages when navigating between pages that contain webspace instances. After confirming the message, the widget loads as expected.

Table 1. Webspace Properties
Property	Description
Webspace server	Specify the machine that has CIMPLICITY Webspace running on it.
CIMPLICITY screen path	Specify the path to the CimView screen to load. This path is where the file resides on the Webspace system (`C:\ProjectsFolder\screens\ScreenName.cim`).
Port for the Webspace Session Manager	`9443` is the default port setting.

CIMPLICITY HMI Webspace at Runtime

The first time a strong encrypted session is loaded, a message appears stating that the Proficy Webspace Strong Encryption license has been updated and needs a restart. If this error occurs, then restart these services in the following order (on the Webspace node):
