SIMATIC WinCC -
Universal applications
Solutions for all industries and technologies
WinCC ‘s wide range of applications is most impressive. The basic
system is designed on a non technology-and industry-specific basis,
it is modular and you can extend it in a flexible way; it makes possible
both simple single-user applications in mechanical engineering as well
as complex multi-user solutions or even distributed systems including
several servers and clients in industrial and building technology. |
| WinCC combines both production
and process automation – numerous references across any number of
applications and branches of industry prove this.
A large number of WinCC options and Add-ons allows industry-specific
solutions.
For applications in the water economy, for example, a number of vertical
market WinCC add-ons have been developed: telecontrol using Sinaut ST7cc,
archiving and logging using PM-Aqua, operating cost optimization using
Siwa-Plan, alarm management using FunkServerPro |

Multilanguage capability
for global deployment
WinCC ‘s configuration interface was designed from the ground
up for deployment on an international basis: you can switch between
German, English, French, Spanish and Italian at the push of a button
.
The Asian variant even supports the characters of Chinese, Korean or
Japanese.You can of course design your project for several runtime target
languages, i.e.several European and Asian languages at the same time.This
means that you can use the same visualization solution on several target
markets. To translate the texts, you only need a standard ASCII text
editor.
Can be integrated in any automation solution in any company
The scope of supply of WinCC includes all the most important communications
channels for linking to SIMATIC S5/S7/505 controllers (e.g.via the S7
Protocol Suite ), as well as non-proprietary channels like PROFIBUS-DP/FMS,
DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)and OPC (OLE for Process Control);
you can get other communications channels as add-ons. Since all controller
manufacturers provide appropriate OPC servers for their hardware, there
are virtually no limits to what you can connect to WinCC.
SIMATIC WinCC integrates a powerful, scaleable Historian based on Microsoft
‘s SQL Server 2000 in the basic system to be used as a central
information exchange in the form of a cross-company Historian server.
Different clients for evaluation, open interfaces (Open database-
and programming interfaces) and various options are the basis
of flexible and efficient  IT and business integration.
In particular,this makes it possible to link to the production and
company management levels (MES and ERP). |
