Options for operator control and monitoringSIMATIC WinCCSIMATIC WinCC – scalable process visualization withplant intelligenceSIMATIC WinCC is a process visualization system with powerfulfunctions to monitor automated processes according toprice and performances.WinCC provides complete SCADA functionality underWindows for all industry sectors – from single-user systems upto distributed multi-user systems with redundant servers andsite solutions with Web clients. In particular, WinCC is characterizedby its absolute openness.Its performance can easily be combined with standard or userprograms, resulting in HMI solutions that precisely satisfy thepractical requirements. System houses can develop their ownapplications via the open interfaces, where system expansionsare specifically produced on the basis of WinCC.WinCC is a state-of-the-art system with user-friendly user interfaces;it can be used in both office and production environments;it is functionally mature and reliable; it can be configuredefficiently and it is scalable for simple and complex applications.With an integrated process database, WinCC formsthe information hub for the company-wide, vertical integrationand – with Plant Intelligence – provides increased productiontransparency.All-purposeThe basic system is designed technology-independent and industry-independent.References across all applications and industriesin plant and machine construction prove that – evenin the pharmaceutical industry, where WinCC with appropriateoptions fulfills the requirements according to 21 CFR Part 11.Integrated Process Historian as information hubSIMATIC WinCC has already integrated a powerful and scalableHistorian function based on the Microsoft SQL Server 2000into the operating system. The possibilities afforded to usersare endless: From high-performance archiving of current processdata and events, long-term archiving with high data compressionand backup function and up to a central informationhub in the form of a company-wide Process Historian Server.Increased production transparency through PlantIntelligencePlant Intelligence stands for the efforts within productioncompanies to reduce costs, prevent rejects, utilize processingequipment to its full capacity and therefore achieve high efficiencyand profitability through the intelligent use of informationwithin a plant. High system functionality (e.g. statisticalfunctions for measured values and alarms in the basicsystem), openness, integrated Historian functionality and ahost of options guarantee a clear production process and wellsounddecisions.SIMATIC Panel PC PackagesSIMATIC Panel PC Packages with WinCC Runtime software provideall the benefits of operator control and monitoring onan optimally integrated Panel PC hardware as well as the costsavings compared to purchasing individual components.Open standards for easy integrationWinCC builds on the highest possible openness and abilityto be integrated: ActiveX controls for technology-specific andindustry-specific expansions, manufacturer-independent processcommunication via OPC (OLE for process control), standardinterfaces for external access to the database (WinCCOLE-DB and OPC HDA), integrated standard script languages(VB script and ANSI-C), access to data and system functionsvia the application programming interface using the OpenDevelopment Kit (WinCC/ODK) and user-specific expansions ofWinCC editors via Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).WinCC application example9
