Helllo. I am setting up a PLC and HMI as a display for some of our upcoming open houses for our business, Just need to Be able to show off a few of our programs and what our controllers can do for the customer. I am not sure if this can be done but i have a 6in display and i am also wanting to be able to mirror the screen and be able to view it and control it from the laptop. I have the laptop connected through Ethernet to the screen. I can type in the screens IP address and The C more remote access screen comes up. When I click on one of the options it ask for a user name and password, but when i enter the information in it says user name and password invalid. I have double checked the user name and password in my settup and also have tried turning it off. Am i missing something here or is it not possible to access it this way Thanks for the help.

I did this recently and it worked as you expected, you have to go to Setup>Panel Network>Remote Access, Check "Remote Access Server Function ", then set up the user account, on Permissions Tab select Full control, then download to the HMI.
When you try to log in I think it provides you with a file that you have to open and thru that you gain access to the screen.
I was able to control everything on my laptop that I could do from the HMI.
