What are my options if I need to use more than the standard 500+100 tags? Can I upgrade a Dashboard subscription to include more tags in a single Dashboard, or would I need to create a second separate Dashboard?

When using Dashboard, each device with a Dashboard subscription can publish or subscribe to, at most, 500 tags. This means that within the “Data source” tab of Weincloud, you can only add up to ‘500’ tags for any given device.
In order to use more than ‘500’ tags, you will need to add a second HMI with a Dashboard subscription to the system.
Sounds like you are saying that the 500 tag limit is per HMI with a dashboard subscription and not per dashboard- is this right? If I have 10 HMI’s publishing to a single dashboard, would I still have access to 500 tags per HMI (for a total of 5000 tags)?
For example, if I wanted to monitor 10 machines from a single dashboard, would each HMI be limited to 50 tags each and, if so, could I increase this number?
If you have 10 HMIs with Dashboard subscriptions, each HMI can publish up to 500 tags, allowing for a combined total of 5,000 tags across all devices. The limit of 500 is not per Dashboard project or domain, it is per device.
Brendon, looking at this snip of your ordering page, does this mean if I have four HMIs that need only 250 tags each, I only need two dashboard subscriptions, and all four HMIs can be monitored from a single dashboard screen? (Assuming all four HMIs have easyAccess licenses.)
A single Dashboard subscription will allow one device to publish up to 500 tags. The subscription cannot be transferred or split between two different devices as it is assigned to a device, not to the cloud. However, if each HMI is located within the same facility you can connect one HMI to the other and publish data from both HMIs using a single subscription.
Note: You do not need an “EasyAccess 2.0” license to use “Dashboard”. These two services are separate.
