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.

Description of the automation problem
An industrial PC with WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional
and a connected webcam is to monitor a plant.
If there is a fault in the plant, the live stream of the webcam will be displayed
directly in WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional. This
enables the operator to efficiently react to a fault.
1.3 Automation problem requirements
Continuous monitoring of the plant through visualization using a webcam.
Quick access to the live stream through the implementation in WinCC Runtime
Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional.

3 Basics
3.1 Information on Ethernet
Ethernet is a technology that specifies software and hardware for wired data
networks. Ethernet is defined in the 802.3 standard. Using Ethernet, it is possible to
exchange data between two Ethernet-capable devices by means of data packets.
The following data transmission is possible:
10 Mbit/s
100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet)
1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) to 10 Gbit/s

3.2 Information on the ActiveX control element
ActiveX control elements refer to a software component model by Microsoft that
was developed for active content. ActiveX components extend Microsofts
Component Object Model standards (COM).
ActiveX control elements are required to display the live streams of the webcams
using Internet Explorer or in the HTML browser control.
For information on how to install the ActiveX control elements of the respective
webcam, please refer to Chapter 4.

3.3 Information on the SCALANCE X208
The devices of the SCALANCE X-200 product line can be used universally in
machine-level applications as well as in networked plant sections, in electrical or
electrical/optical linear, ring or star structures up to 26 km.
Configuration and diagnostic functions are integrated in the engineering tools. This
increases plant availability and offers advantages during the engineering,
commissioning and operational phases. In addition, the devices of the SCALANCE
X-200 line also have standard remote diagnostic functions (SNMP, Web server).
The SCALANCE X208 has eight RJ45 jacks for the connection of end devices or
other network segments.

3.4 Information on the AXIS 207MW webcam
The AXIS 207MW network webcam is suitable for indoor and remote surveillance.
The webcam offers a 1.3 megapixel resolution (1280x1024 pixels).
The AXIS 207MW features both a wireless interface (IEEE802.11g) and a
conventional Ethernet interface.

H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG video compression
Bi-directional audio
Web-based user interface
Motion detection
Alert features

3.6 Information on the TP-Link TL-SC3171G webcam

This chapter describes the required software components of the webcams used
and the data flow from the webcam to WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC
Runtime Professional.
4.1 AXIS 207MW webcam
AXIS Media Control
AXIS Media Control ActiveX component enables easy viewing of Motion JPEG,
MPEG-4 and H.264 streams directly in Microsoft Internet Explorer or the HTML
browser control.
Download AXIS Media Control from the webcam manufacturers web site and
install it on your configuration computer or the computer on which Runtime is run
(see Chapter 2.3).

1. Network all nodes:

Network all nodes via Ethernet and make sure that there is a connection to all
nodes.
2. Provide supply voltage:

Supply all nodes with the supply voltage intended for the respective devices and
switch on the devices.
3. Start Runtime

Start the Runtime you want to work with:
SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced

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

Proceed as follows to visualize the image of the webcam in the HTML browser of
WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional:
Table 8-1
No. Action Screens
1. Download and install app:

Download the ipCam Mobile IP Camera
app from the App Store to the iPad.
The app is installed automatically after
downloading.

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

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

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.

card and then select the Controls palette.
Use drag & drop to move the HTML
browser control to the screen you have
created.

In Runtime, you can enter the URL of the iPad
in the I/O field and thus display the live stream
of the webcam in the HTML browser control.

On the right side, open the Toolbox task
card and then select the Controls palette.
Use drag & drop to move the HTML

With this setting, you can enter the IP address
of the iPad in the address bar during active
Runtime and thus display the live stream.

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.

Table 8-2
No. Action Screens

To connect to the webcam, enter the IP
address of the webcam in the Internet
Explorer address bar.

In this example: http://192.168.2.90

A window opens where you can enter the
logon parameters.

2. Open settings:

Once you have connected to the webcam, a
window with the live stream of the webcam
opens in Internet Explorer.
Click on Setup to open the webcam settings.

Explorer and Other Browsers.
Click on the Save button to save your

Open a word processor, e.g. Notepad. Copy the source code below to the text file and save
the file with the *.htm extension.
In the source code, customize the following:
Refresh time

Copy the file you have created to your SIMATIC Panel (e.g., using a USB flash drive) and start
the file. Depending on the set time, a connection is established to the connected webcam and
the still image is displayed.
