Yes... You can even connect more than 1 Hmi and Scada to single Plc. The maximum limit depends upon the connunication protocol used. U have to give different addresses to each Hmi or scada..

To connect elements of a SCADA system, first you will need to choose and use a communication network.

On the a.m. bus you can connect several elements (atention: if you have an old point to point communication network then it's only 2 elements on the network).

With all the actual field buses you can inter connect dozens of PLC's (Programable Logic Controllers), HMI (Human Machine Interfaces), SCADA Servers and Clients, VSD (Variable Speed Drives), etc.

Yes ofcourse. HMI is in most cases cut down version of SCADA.

Nowadays, HMI's are integrated with SCADA ( all in one). You can connect PLC with a screen which represents both by means of Ethernet or Profibus DP protocols.

To do so, PLC must have a communication port and HMI/SCADA also must have the same. HMI must have a software which carry on communications between both ( as WINCC by SIEMENS)

Yes , we can connect HMI (Human Machine Interface) and SCADA to a PLC. You can connect by using Ethernet or DP protocols.

yes you can connect plc with HMI/SCADA in the same time but you have to give diffrent adress for each one

yes we can connect more than 1 HMI and SCADA to single PLC. The maximum limit depends upon the communication protocol used. 

yes i can. the coded signals are linked with proper communcation channels(plc) which are then presented graphically through hmi
