Typical examples ofsuch interfaces are OPC in the field of automation and SQL databaseinterfaces in the world of IT.• For example, SIMATIC WinCC with its OPC DA server interfaceis the data source and an external database is the data destination.• In addition to access to WinCC variables, access to messages,process values and user archive data (in the WinCC database)is also supported.• As a stand-alone application with its standard interfaces, suchas OPC DA and OLE-DB, WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge can beeven be used, e.g., in conjunction with ProTool/Pro, WinCCV5.1, SIMATIC NET and SIMATIC WinAC.• Option only for WinCC V6.0• A WinCC/Client Access license is required for computers withoutinstalled licenses for the WinCC basic system or a WinCCoption and to which the WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge optionhas read/write access (see WinCC/Client Access License optionfor more information).■ Benefits• Connecting the automation level with the IT world• Integration of systems from different manufacturers via a hostof standard interfaces (including OPC, OLE-DB, Office formats)• Simple configuration with standard software without programmingand thus at low cost• High-performance data transfer between several systemssimultaneously■ DesignThe software comprises a configuration environment and a runtimeenvironment. The different data interfaces are integrated viasoftware modules. In each case, one module is required as thedata source and one module as the data destination. The differentmodules can be combined in any way.The connections between data source and data destination arecreated in the configuration environment. In the runtime environment,the IndustrialDataBridge establishes the connection autonomouslyand transfers the data of the linked variables.4/78Siemens ST 80 · 2006
