Hi everyone,  
I'm not sure it's the right place to post this 🙂  
it is basically an HMI SCADA interface created with node-red-contrib-svg (thank you very much for the development of this node!) which acquires data from a SIEMENS S7 PLC via ethernet network and S7 protocol and makes it visible through the node-red-dashboard!

the result of this combination is simply fantastic !:  
system description:

1. OS linux debian buster 10.3 (KDE plasma)
2. node-red
3. a lot of passion on my part!

I attach the screenshot, obviously I have obscured the logo of my company for obvious reasons.

if whant the demo code, i can post it 🙂  
thank you all!!!

That would be really good for us and the community. Please do.

In fact, would you post a version on the flows library? Label it something appropriate like "Dashboard SVG HMI demo"

Obviously not everyone has a PLC so if you could perhaps swap the plc data for inject nodes too?

Or 2 versions (one with dummy data, other for PLC)?

ok, I have completed the "Dashboard SVG HMI demo" flow 🙂

flow node dependencies:

1. [node-red-dashboard](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-dashboard)
2. [node-red-contrib-ui-level](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-level)
3. [node-red-contrib-ui-svg](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-svg/in/590bc13ff3a5f005c7d2189bbb563976)
4. [node-red-contrib-drawsvg](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-drawsvg)
5. [node-red-contrib-pid](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-pid)
6. [node-red-node-random](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-random)
7. [node-red-contrib-message-sequencer](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-message-sequencer)

to interfacing PLC I have used the [node-red-contrib-s7](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-s7), next week i post a demo flow with PLC S7 protocol demo example 🙂

That is really cool! Congratulations for this very nice usage of our contrib-s7 node.  
Did you build some kind of physical HMI for this application? Or the user accesses it by a standard PC Desktop?

Thank you so much for the compliments 🙂  
first I had thought of integrating everything into a PanelPC IP67 ATEX but it was too expensive in terms of costs to be incurred, then I opted for a different solution, that is a fanless miniPC wifi with remote monitor for the management of the plant, positioned in a safe area. next week I will post a new flow containing the example of full integration with the S7 protocol.
