The default configuration of EMC runs a single user interface (GUI), as called out by the DISPLAY = <something> variable in the [DISPLAY] section of the ini file.
However, you can run more than one GUI, or several different ones at the same time. The additional user interfaces can be in additional windows on the main EMC computer, or even on completely different computers connected over a network. This page describes some of the possibilties, but is not complete.
Why would you want to do such a thing?
It has always been possible to run multiple GUIs, but it hasn't always been trivial to set it up. It still isn't, but some progress has been made in that area, and discussions have started about other improvements.

If the second GUI is to be on a different PC, there are a couple of approaches:
I think its not too different, although you won't use emc-environment, and you will have to cd to a few different directories. More later.
