WinCC Options

Get SIMATIC WinCC tailored to your requirements. WinCC options are evidence of the modular expandability and the universal application of WinCC which is the core for a whole range of different applications. The WinCC option packages are produced in the context of WinCC development. As the basic WinCC software they are supported by the technical advisory service and the central hotline.

Options for scalable plant configurations

WinCC/Server

for the implantation of multiple-user solutions with up to 32 clients. In a distributed system, the application can be distributed by function or by plant segment to up to 12 servers.

WinCC/Central Archive Server

for setting up scalable, central process data archiving with up to 120,000 archive tags based on Microsoft SQL Server 2005..

WinCC/Web Navigator

allows you to visualize and operate your plant via the Internet or your companys Intranet or LAN without needing changes in the WinCC project. Using Thin Client solutions, you can also link robust local equipment and mobile clients.

WinCC/TeleControl

flexibly integrates remote terminal units equipped with SIMATIC automation components into the central process visualization system of the overall plant via a WAN (Wide Area Network)

Options for increasing availability

WinCC/Redundancy

Parallel operation of two single-station systems or servers to ensure data consistency in safety-related applications. Should a malfunction occur, clients can be automatically switched to the intact server.

WinCC/ProAgent

Adds diagnostic capabilities to the process visualization system. ProAgent is fully integrated in the SIMATIC diagnostic concept and optimized for the SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400

SIMATIC Maintenance Station

Visualizes maintenance information from the automation systems of a plant. From the controller, through the network components, to switching, protective and control devices and the drives.

Options for Plant Intelligence

WinCC/DataMonitor

for displaying and evaluating current process status conditions and historical data on any office PCs using Internet- capable standard tools

WinCC/Connectivity Pack and WinCC/Connectivity Station

for accessing historical data of the WinCC archive system via OPC HDA or OLE-DB and for transferring/acknowledging messages via OPC A&E

WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge

enables linking to external databases, office applications and IT-systems via OLE-DB and OPC DA by employing a configurable standard software

WinCC/DowntimeMonitor

for detecting and analyzing in machine-oriented or line-oriented production facilities in order to derive Key Performance Indicators of a plant

Options for SCADA Expansions

WinCC/User Archives

allows the application of user archives, in which related data is stored in data records. WinCC and its automation partners (e.g. a SIMATIC S7 PLC) can write to these data records and exchange them among one another.

WinCC/Calendar Scheduler

supplements WinCC by a calendarbased HMI in the style of Microsoft Office for simple and reliable scheduling of events and actions

Options for Energy Management

SIMATIC powerrate for WinCC

is a WinCC option that ensures transparency in energy consumption from the infeed to the load. Energy data is continuously collected, archived and further processed

WinCC/B.Data

WinCC/B.Data allows users to implement an optimized and cost-effective operational energy management in the areas of controlling, planning and energy procurement.

Options for tracking and validation

WinCC/Audit

is for monitoring changes in operator activities in runtime operation as well as for recording project changes at the engineering stage with the help of Audit trails and Project Versioning

WinCC/ChangeControl

is a subset of WinCC/Audit to track changes of a WinCC project during Engineering including document management and project versioning.

SIMATIC Logon

for a central, cross-plant user management, integrated in Windows User mangement providing various security mechanisms on administrator and user level. Starting with WinCC V7 SIMATIC Logon is part of the WinCC basic software.

Options for batch processes

SIMATIC BATCH for WinCC

offers a solution for the implementation of batch processes in the process industry. SIMATIC BATCH for WinCC is offered as a bundle that includes both the SIMATIC BATCH as well as the WinCC components.

Options for System expansion

WinCC/IndustrialX

uses ActiveX technology for process visualization. Configuration wizards make it easier to generate your own standard presentations.

WinCC/ODK (Open Development Kit)

describes opened programming interfaces which can be used to access data and functions of the configuration and runtime system.
