ABB touchscreen

> is it possible to display CCTV video at the ABB tochscreen ?

The touchscreens on the ABB control panels I'm familiar with
e.g. are actually transparent capacitive overlays mounted on the control panel... you calibrate the spot you're touching with the dot that appears onscreen using an applet in the Windows control panel... I believe the newer ones are 2-axis infrared that can 'see' 2 touches at once... but in either case you can't really display anything on the touchscreen itself.  

What model ABB is it, exactly?
I presume you're not talking about the handheld teach pendant with the joystick on it, as those are generally not touchscreen and have only about 50 lines of resolution.

You could put the video on the display behind the touchscreen overlay, but in my opinion, unless the video monitoring has something to do with production, it would be better to have a separate computer for the video and use a KVM switch to share the ABB's keyboard, mouse and monitor with the video computer, at most... that way the operators or repair people can switch back to the ABB user interface in a second or two with the KVM switch.

thanks for reply Darr247
we use CP 600 (but open to the options)

also ... we were thinking probably to use Tablet touchscreen to Send and receive data from PLC + CCTV videos  ... if it is possible i will open another ticket ?
