Easy and efficient to configure

In the life cycle of an automation solution, engineering costs make up as much as 50% of the total costs. Anyone who wants to noticeably lower those costs needs simple and efficient configuring tools - and an intuitive, user-friendly system. Once again, WinCC points the way.

Just use your day-to-day PC application industrial processes – that was the idea behind SIMATIC WinCC. The result was an object-oriented multilingual engineering environment with configurable application examples.

• Automatically shown easy to edit dialog boxes for configuration
• All object properties can be animated
• Configuring of 32 picture layers
• Modifying the properties of a group of objects simultaneously.
• Rewiring dialogs for tags

Configuration wizards help cut engineering time

• Wizards with default values for routine tasks 
• Simply retrieve preconfigured modules from the library
• Several libraries e.g. SIMATIC HMI symbol library included in delivery
• Definition of company-, technology-, or industryspecific standards, making it easy to create projects
• Zentrale Aderbarkeit durch referenzierte Objekte
• Configuration of multilingual applications
• Projektierung in ActiveX-Technik mit IndustrialX

• Cross-reference list of variables, images and functions used in a project  that can be generated individually on the basis of filter settings.
• Central display of the picture properties directly in WinCC Explorer.

• The texts for the runtime application can be edited in all Primary Languages of Windows.(incl. Tool tips)
• Export and import of all texts in CSV-format for external translation using standard tools

Configuration tool for handling mass data

• Convenient and quick configuration of mass data,
• Configuration tool based on Microsoft Excel to editi existing projects and create new ones.
• Highest flexibility by employing macros based on VBA

• Testing of WinCC-Projects by using a simulator , each tag can be assigned a value characteristic.

A boost for the commissioning phase: on-line configuring

• Modification of  configuring data online
• Modified picture becomes valid with the next selection
