Configuring Miniweb Server & PHP Support on SIMATIC HMI TP277

The SIMATIC HMI TP277's miniweb server enables displaying HMI content via a web browser. Here's how to configure it and check PHP support:

Configuration Steps (via HMI Programming Software):

1. Open your HMI project in the TIA Portal.
2. Navigate to "Options" -> "Communication" -> "Miniweb Server."
3. Enable the Miniweb Server.
4. Configure access permissions and other settings as needed.
5. Download the configuration to the HMI device.

PHP Support:

The TP277 does not natively support PHP. The miniweb server primarily serves static HTML content created within the TIA Portal. For dynamic content, you'll need to explore alternative solutions.

Workarounds for Dynamic Content:

• Web Displayer Object: Utilize the Web Displayer object within your HMI screens to display content from an external web server that *does* support PHP. This is the recommended method.
• Scripting (Limited): VBScript can be used for limited dynamic functionality within the HMI, but it is not a replacement for PHP.
