SIMATIC SIMATIC WinCC V8

PC-based operator control and monitoring system that may be used for cross-location solutions with web clients, distributed multi-user systems with redundant servers, and process visualisation and control across all industries' machines, plants, and production flows. WinCC is the name of the corporate vertical integration information centre.

The basic system setup (WinCC Basic Software) includes industry-standard functionality for signalling and acknowledging events, archiving messages and measured values, logging all process and configuration data, user administration, and visualisation.

The core of many apps is the WinCC Basic Software. Based on the open programming interfaces, numerous WinCC options (from Siemens Industry Automation) and WinCC Add-ons (by Siemens internal and external partners) have been developed.

WinCC can be used on any computer that meets the required hardware specifications. The main market for the SIMATIC IPC product range is the industrial application of WinCC systems. SIMATIC IPCs are remarkable devices because of their strong PC technology, round-the-clock operation, and capacity to work in both demanding industrial and office environments.

Application

The operation and visualisation of machinery, plants, industrial flows, and processes are the targeted uses for SIMATIC WinCC. WinCC's safe data archiving features and its strong process interface, especially with respect to the SIMATIC series, enable highly accessible solutions for process control.

The sector-neutral fundamental system is compatible with all automation applications. Sector-specific solutions can be implemented, for example, through the use of WinCC options (such as the FDA options for the pharmaceutical business) and sector-specific add-ons (such as those for the water industry).

Design

For SIMATIC WinCC, there is a full package as well as a runtime package available with 128, 512, 2 048, 8 192, 65 536, 102 400, 153 600, and 262 144 PowerTags. PowerTags are data points that are connected to controllers or other data sources using a WinCC channel. Up to 32 alarms can be generated from a single data point. We can provide internal tags without coupling for even more system performance. WinCC also features 512 archive tags. Additional archive licences can be obtained for larger quantity structures.

Permits for a multiple-user setup

The system software with the required number of PowerTags and the additional option WinCC/Server must be installed on the WinCC server. One RT Client Licence is sufficient for the WinCC Clients in the basic setup. 1. An RC Client Licence is required in order to configure on client 1. Remote setup will be possible if WinCC Clients (Uni Clients) are configured on the server project without separate projects.
1) SQL Server Express is installed for RT/RC Clients.

More information

WinCC language versions

For Asian markets, SIMATIC WinCC is also available in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. The machines manufacturers, plant builders, and exporters that supply China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan are the target market for these WinCC versions.

Along with all of the well-known WinCC features, WinCC ASIA also provides an English setup user interface in addition to the local language. English, Korean, Japanese, traditional Chinese, and simplified Chinese are the offered languages for the online assistance. To operate, a Windows operating system that is multilingual, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or other languages is needed.

There are language-neutral runtime licences. The Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Windows versions can execute the English handling programme (Automation Licence Manager, or ALM).

An Asia hardware dongle is needed in order to use the Asian languages in WinCC.

IPC packages

For a fully matched software and hardware package, there are appealing packages available with SIMATIC Rack PCs (IPC347, IPC547, IPC647, IPC847), SIMATIC Box PCs (IPC227, IPC427, IPC627, IPC827), and SIMATIC Panel PCs (IPC277, IPC477, IPC677). These IPCs can be used as a single station, server, or client by configuring them in various ways.
