WinCC/ODK (Open Development Kit)

Description

Would you like to considerably expand the functionality of WinCC for a sector-specific application? Do you want to integrate your own data in WinCC tools, e.g. the reporting and logging system? The WinCC options package Open Development Kit WinCC/ODK specifies open programming interfaces, which you can use to gain access to data and functions of the WinCC configuration and runtime system. The interfaces are designed as C-Application Programming Interface (C-API). Programming examples show the use of C# and VB.NET with WinCC /ODK.

Benefits

• Individual system expansions via an open standard programming language (C++, C#, VB.NET)

• Access to data and functions of the WinCC configuration and runtime system

• Development of your own applications and add-ons for the WinCC basic system

Functionality

For example, ODK functions can be used

• to generate a message

• to determine the value of a tag

• to change the object properties in a screen

• to export a database table

In the delivery kit for WinCC/ODK there is a CD-ROM with several examples and a voucher for a one-day training session and expanded support via a telephone hotline.

ODK functions are also employed by the WinCC Competence Centers and partner firms for the development of technology and industry-specific WinCC Add-Ons.
