Maximum data transparency on all automation levels
based on proven standards
SIMATIC creates the foundations for unlimited integration in communication and thus for
maximum transparency on all levels, from the field and control level to the operations man-
agement level all they way up to the corporate management level. SIMATIC relies on interna-
tional, cross-vendor standards which can be combined flexibly: PROFINET, the leading Indus-
trial Ethernet standard and PROFIBUS, the global No. 1 fieldbus.
Maximum engineering efficiency
in all phases of the lifecycle of the machine and plant
With SIMATIC you rely on an integrated engineering environment. Efficient software supports you
over the complete lifecycle of your machine or plant from the planning and design stages
through configuring and programming as far as commissioning, operation and upgrading. With
its integration capability and harmonized interfaces, SIMATIC software supports a high degree of
data consistency throughout the entire engineering process.
Siemens has redefined engineering with its Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal).
The new TIA Portal engineering framework combines the SIMATIC STEP 7, SIMATIC WinCC and
SINAMICS StartDrive automation software tools in a unique development environment.

Maximum industrial suitability through increased robustness
Each standard product from the SIMATIC range is characterized by the highest quality and ro-
bustness and is perfect for use in industrial environments. Specific system tests ensure the
planned and required quality. SIMATIC components meet all relevant international standards
and are certified accordingly. Temperature and shock resistance are defined in the SIMATIC
quality guidelines, as are vibration resistance or electromagnetic compatibility.
For demanding to extreme rated conditions, special versions such as SIPLUS extreme or spe-
cial versions of SIMATIC ET200 are available. These include an increased degree of protection,
extended temperature ranges, and exceptional environmental stress.
Maximum availability
with integrated high availability concepts
Siemens offers a comprehensive high availability concept to ensure high availability for the
entire plant: from the field level to the control level all the way up to the management level.
For example, field-tested controllers ensure high availability through bumpless switching with
automatic event synchronization.

More possibilities, less complexity
through integrated technology functionality
Counting and measuring, cam control, closed-loop control, or motion control: You can inte-
grate technological tasks in many different combinations and with various degrees of com-
plexity without a system changeover into the world of SIMATIC easily, conveniently, consis-
tently. Parameter assignment and programming are implemented in the familiar STEP 7
environment.
Data security in the networked world through harmonized, scalable
security systems
Due to the increased use of Ethernet connections penetrating the field level, security issues
are gaining in importance in industry. For comprehensive protection of a plant, a variety of
suitable measures must be implemented. These range from the company organization and its
guidelines regarding protective measures for PC and control systems through to protection of
automation cells by segmenting the network. Siemens follows the cell protection concept
and, with the modules of the SCALANCE series and the Security modules, offers components
for building up protected cells.

site devices and mobile PDAs under Windows CE.
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).
Plant Intelligence and IT & Business Integration
Standard interfaces and powerful tools for displaying, analy-
zing and evaluating are decisive factors for universal IT and
business integration and the optimization of production
through Plant Intelligence.
WinCC/DataMonitor for displaying, analyzing, evaluating
and distributing current process states and historical data
(measured values, messages, user data) from the process da-
tabase. The DataMonitor client needed for this can be ins-
talled on any office PC. The DataMonitor provides several tools
for displaying and analyzing.
Information portal in WinCC / Data Monitor
WinCC/DowntimeMonitor can detect and analyze downti-
mes in machine-oriented or line-oriented production facilities
and derive from this data plant-specific parameters known as
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Fault analyses provide in-
formation about the frequency and duration of machine or
plant downtimes. Corresponding WinCC Controls can be effor-
tlessly integrated in WinCC process screens.
WinCC/ConnectivityPack allows other applications to ac-
cess the WinCC archives via OPC HDA or WinCC OLE-DB, or to
current values via OPC XML and forwards pending or historical
messages via OPC (historical) A&E to higher-level systems. With
WinCC/ConnectivityStation, any Windows computer without
WinCC installed can be configured as an analysis station.
WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge supports the connection to
external databases, office applications and IT systems via

Highlights
Universally applicable
Designed for international use from the beginning, the confi-
guration interface of WinCC allows you to switch between diffe-
rent languages, including four Asian configuration languages.
You can also design your project simultaneously in several tar-
get languages and switch between these languages during
operation.
The basic system is designed technology- and sector-indepen-
dent. References across all applications and sectors in plant con-
struction and mechanical engineering prove this even in the
pharmaceutical industry where WinCC with appropriate op-
tions fulfills requirements according to 21 CFR Part 11.
All important communication channels for connecting to
SIMATIC Controllers and Allen-Bradley Ethernet IP,
Modbus TCP/IP and cross-manufacturer channels such as
PROFIBUS/PROFINET and OPC are supplied with WinCC.
Open interfaces, numerous options and the Microsoft SQL
Server already included in the basic system for data archiving
as an information hub support the IT & Business integration in
the company.
All HMI functions on board
Industry-standard HMI functions are part of the basic equip-
ment of the system:
Pixel-graphics visualization of the process sequences and
statuses
Operating the machine or plant via an individually configu-
rable operator interface with its own menus and toolbars
Reporting and acknowledging of events
Archiving of measured values and messages in a process
database
Logging of current process data and acquired archive data
User administration including their access rights
Quality-relevant processes and events are continuously recor-
ded and can be proven in this way without any gaps.
Can be configured easily and efficiently
Sophisticated configuration functions drastically reduce engi-
neering and training costs:
User-friendly, object-oriented graphic editor
Comprehensive libraries
Efficient modular systems
Fast changes due to online configuration
Configuration tool for handling mass data
Transparency due to cross-reference list
Continuously scalable also via the Web
To be able to meet growing requirements, the visualization
must be expandable at any time without causing technology
incompatibilities or requiring completely new configurations.
Investment protection is a top priority. WinCC provides the
required universal scalability, from the small single-user solu-
tion to the redundant client/server solution with a central
Microsoft SQL Server for data archiving and web operator sta-
tions.
Siemens AG 2012
Open standards for easy integration
WinCC consistently builds on the highest possible openness
and ability to integrate: ActiveX and .NET controls for techno-
logy- and sector-specific expansions, cross-vendor process
communication via OPC, standard interfaces for external ac-
cess to the database (WinCC OLE-DB and OPC HDA), integra-
ted standard script languages (VBScript and ANSI-C), access to
data and system functions via the Application Programming
Interface (API) using the Open Development Kit (WinCC/ODK),
user-specific expansions of the WinCC graphics editor via Visu-
al Basic for Applications (VBA).
Integrated Microsoft SQL Server for data archiving as
information hub
SIMATIC WinCC has a powerful and scalable data archiving
function based on the Microsoft SQL Server already integrated
into the basic system. The possibilities thereby afforded to
users are endless: From high-performance archiving of cur-
rent process data and events through long-term archiving
with high data compression and backup function and beyond
to a central information hub in the form of a central enterprise-
wide Microsoft SQL Server for data archiving.
Increased production transparency through
Plant Intelligence
Plant Intelligence stands for the efforts within production
companies to reduce costs, prevent rejects, utilize processing
equipment to its full capacity and therefore achieve greater ef-
ficiency and profitability through the intelligent use of infor-
mation within a plant. High degree of system functionality
(e.g. statistics functions for measured values and messages in
the basic system), unlimited openness, integrated data archi-
ving and a host of options ensure new transparency in the pro-
duction process and well-founded decisions.
Expandable using options and add-ons
The WinCC basic system forms the core for a wide variety of ap-
plications. Based on the open programming interfaces, a wide
range of sector-specific WinCC options (from Siemens Indust-
rial Automation) and WinCC Premium Add-ons (by Siemens-
internal and external partners) have been developed. WinCC
options can be used for scalable plant configurations, for plant
intelligence and IT & Business Integration, increasing the avai-
lability, expanding the basic system and for simplifying valida-
tion or tracing.

With the functionality integrated in the WinCC User Administra-
tor and corresponding engineering measures, WinCC meets the
requirements according to EU 178/2002 and 21 CFR Part 11 of
the Food and Drug Administration in the pharmaceutical indust-
ry, the manufacturing of active ingredients and medicines and
the food, beverages and tobacco industries.
The functionalities in the WinCC basic system considerably
simplify the validation of plants and the tracing of the produc-
tion process and thereby provide a convincing and compre-
hensive answer to the requirements in these sectors. For re-
quirements that go beyond this standard, there are a number
of WinCC options and add-ons. Thus, for example, operations
and project changes can be tracked and documented via audit
trails using WinCC/Audit or WinCC/ChangeControl.
More on the guidelines mentioned:
www.fda.gov
www.eur-lex.europa.eu
Ready for worldwide use thanks to multi-language capabi-
lity
The configuration interface of WinCC can switch between Ger-
man, English, French, Spanish and Italian at the push of a but-
ton. The Asian version supports English and the configuration
languages for China, Taiwan, Korea or Japan. Of course, you
can design your project for several runtime target languages
for example, German/French/Portuguese or English/Chinese
at the same time. In this way, you can use the same visualiza-
tion solution in several target markets the desired target lan-
guage can be switched to during operation at the push of a
button. For the translation of the texts, WinCC offers the WinCC
Text Distributor, a convenient import/export tool based on a
standard ASCII text editor.

All of the essential communication channels for connecting to
the SIMATIC S5/ S7/ 505 Controllers (e.g. via the S7 Protocol Sui-
te), and for Allen-Bradley Ethernet IP and Modbus TCP/IP and
cross-manufacturer channels such as PROFIBUS/PROFINET and
OPC are included in the delivery kit of WinCC. Because every
controller manufacturer also provides related OPC servers,
almost no limits are placed on the coupling capabilities of
WinCC.
SIMATIC WinCC integrates powerful, scalable data archiving
on the basis of the Microsoft SQL Server in the basic system,
which you can use as a central information hub. Open inter-
faces and options form the basis for effective IT & Business
Integration. This also provides a connection to Manufacturing
Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning
Systems (ERP).

Integrated user administration
With the WinCC User Administrator, you assign and control the
access rights of the users for configuration and runtime soft-
ware. As the administrator, you can create up to 128 user groups
with up to 128 individual users each and you can assign them
corresponding access rights to WinCC functions at any time,
even during operation. In all, up to 999 different authoriza-
tions are possible.
All of the operator stations are included in the user administ-
ration, i.e. including WebNavigator and DataMonitor clients.
You get central, plant-wide user administration that is integra-
ted in the Windows user administration via the integrated
functionality of SIMATIC Logon.
SIMATIC Logon Central, plant-wide user administration
SIMATIC Logon provides numerous security mechanisms both
on the administrator side and on the user side. As usual, users
receive a unique user ID, user name and password. Functions
such as aging of the password, automatic logoff after a pre-
defined time and lockout after several incorrect entries of a pass-
word ensure maximum security of operation. In addition, the
administrator has the capability of setting up new users on-
line, plant-wide and across applications, or blocking existing
users.
Log-on of a user
In the SIMATIC WinCC environment, SIMATIC Logon can be
used on the most diverse structures such as single-user stations
or client/ server configurations. With SIMATIC Logon, high
availability is ensured by primary/secondary domain control-
lers and the local Windows user management.
Graphics system
The graphics system of WinCC processes all inputs and out-
puts on the screen during runtime. The screens that you use
for the visualization and operation of your plant are created
with the aid of the WinCC Graphics Designer.
Whether you are dealing with small, simple operating and mo-
nitoring applications or complex control tasks: With the WinCC
standards, individually configured operator interfaces can be
created for each application for reliable operation and for
optimizing the entire production. A project-specific look and
feel can be created using central design settings and color pa-
lettes as well as individual menus and toolbars. Shade, trans-
parency, theming and skinning are available in Vista Design as
special effects.
Operator control ...
Every operation of the plant, of the ar-
chives and of WinCC can be locked to
prevent unauthorized access. WinCC
can record tag operations with date,
time, user name and a comparison of
the old and new value. During this
process, hover effects provide additio-
nal support by highlighting operable
objects. For applications in the phar-
maceuticals industry, which must be
validated according to 21 CFR Part 11,
you can also use the WinCC/Audit op-
tion.
... and monitoring
For an appealing, process-oriented in-
terface, the system provides various
elements, from graphical objects to
user-defined menus, toolbars, but-
tons and controls to user-defined cen-
trally modifiable faceplates.
The project engineer dynamically con-
trols the appearance of the graphics
portion and can activate tag values for
this or adopt them directly from pro-
grams. WinCC supports the display of
screens up to 10,000 x 10,000 pixels
in size. The resolution can be scaled to
the necessary screen resolution at any
time. This ensures investment protec-
tion for future expansion of your plant.
Panning, zooming and decluttering, i.e. the display of screen
contents depending on the zoom factor, round out the gra-
phics functionality of the visualization system and give the
user a completely new feeling when operating and monito-
ring.

Message system
Minimize downtimes
by means of alarms and messages
SIMATIC WinCC records process signals and local events, saves
them in archives and makes them available filtered or sorted,
as needed. Messages can occur via the derivation of the indi-
vidual bits of a PowerTag (max. 32), as a result of a chronolo-
gical message frame directly from the automation system, as
a result of analog alarms due to any number of limit value vi-
olations, or due to an operation (->operation message). Each
message can be configured in such a way that the operator
has to acknowledge it.
Now it is also possible to compare tags with a defined value.
In doing so, hysteresis values can be set and ranges can be
monitored easily.
User-definable message structure
Because the message structure is freely definable, it can be
tailored to the special requirements of your plant. Dividing the
structure into as many as 10 different text blocks (plant ID,
fault location, text, etc.) leads to greater clarity of the informa-
tion and allows targeted analyses to be initiated in connection
with the filtering or sorting function. Differentiation of as
many as 16 message classes makes easy fault and status mes-
sages just as possible as the separate preparation of alarms,
warnings, faults and errors for several areas of the plant.
Within a message class (e.g. alarm), up to 16 priorities can
also be differentiated.
User-friendly message view
Messages are displayed on the screen via the user-configurab-
le WinCC Alarm Control. Here, the display of the message in-
formation, for example, can be adapted exactly to the needs
of the operator. The settings made can be saved in user-speci-
fic or global templates.
WinCC Alarm Control for displaying current/historical messages
Based on the contents of the individual message blocks, filte-
ring, selecting and sorting is possible in the screen, e.g. chro-
nologically, according to priorities or fault location. The con-
tents can then be exported directly as a CSV file or printed as
a report. A freely definable toolbar function also provides a
high degree of flexibility. In this way, for example, your own
project-specific functions can be integrated.
To maintain a clear overview of a large number of incoming
messages, the operator can suppress unimportant operational
messages on the screen display by means of Alarm Hiding.
The messages continue to be archived in the background.
Archiving and logging messages
The Microsoft SQL Server is used for archiving message. This
ensures complete recording of all events. Messages are archi-
ved in the case of so-called message events, for example,
when a message occurs and when the status of the message
changes.
In the message sequence report, the messages can be (selec-
tively) documented chronologically. All of the status changes
(came in, went out, acknowledged) of all currently pending
messages are output to a printer. In the message archive re-
port, specific views of the archived messages can be genera-
ted.
Highlights

ted

Statistical evaluations
A number of integrated statistics functions allow a compre-
hensive analysis of process states. The message hit list shows
how long certain messages have been pending on average
(message duration) and, in similar fashion, the average and
total acknowledgement time. Of course, you can filter them
according to the relevant events, message locations and time
intervals. This quickly makes it clear where the critical points
and bottlenecks in the production are located. To sort the
messages in the message view for an analysis, you can simply
select the column header and select the desired sorting crite-
rion (e.g. "descending by frequency").
Message hit list for messages that have come in
Archive system
High-performance archiving for messages and measured
values
Historical values or value sequences are saved in process value
archives. In addition to process values, WinCC also archives
messages and user data. The archiving is done in archives in
the Microsoft SQL Server database with high performance: up
to 10,000 measured values and 100 messages per second as
a continuous load (for a message burst even 15,000 messages
within 10 seconds) are not a problem for a central archive ser-
ver. The memory requirement is very low thanks to powerful,
loss-free compression functions. Process values can be cycli-
cally (continuously) compressed (e.g. mean value generation),
either event-controlled or process-controlled (e.g. limit value ex-
ceeded), and archived by means of an integral function.
Archive size and segmentation made to order
The measured values or messages are stored in an archive; the
size of which can be configured. One month, one year or a
maximum volume of data can be specified in a practice-orien-
ted way as the maximum archiving period. The respective ar-
chive itself can be segmented. Closed individual logs can be
regularly swapped out to the long-term archive server and
read any time from WinCC and analyzed with the available re-
sources. The swap out ensures that no data is lost even during
long-term archiving.
In the WinCC basic system, it is possible to archive 512 archive
tags. PowerPacks allow an increase up to 120,000 tags. The
Tag Logging Editor permits user-defined recording of the pro-
cess values as required.
Displaying measured values
Process values are displayed via the WinCC Online Table Controls
and Online Trend Controls, which display the data in the form
of a table or trend. In addition, the WinCC Trend Ruler Control
gives you the capability to display the integrated statistics
functions independently of the trends display. The representa-
tion can be freely selected, e.g.
Online trend, archive trends, F(x) trends
Setpoint trends
Different writing directions, display of areas and limit va-
lues, interpolation, step curves, graduated trends, tables
Read line, zooming, scale switching, start/stop,
scroll
For improved display and analysis capabilities, the line thick-
ness of trends can be configured. If you click the right mouse
button over the trend line, a tooltip with detailed information
on the measuring point appears: Archive, archive tag,
date/time, value and connection status.
The operator can not only change the display online, but he
can save the changes in the configuration data and paramete-
rize a trend view online for any PowerTag.
Current values (online trends), historical process values and
setpoint trends can be displayed in the same trend view. For
this, it is possible to individually scale the time axis and the va-
lue range (e.g. percentile scaling). The time and value axes of
the individual trends can be moved online by moving the
mouse. This function can be used for batch comparisons, for
example.
Highlights
Microsoft SQL Server records trends in a memory-opti-
mized way: up to 120,000 trends can be archived on
one server
Mathematical functions, such as integral calculation,
are available for statistical analysis
Long-term back-up with user-definable back-up cyc-
les
Siemens AG 2012
Online Trend Control with key for data export
To increase the clarity of the information, only the Y axis of the
currently selected trend is displayed upon request, to the left
and/or right of the trend view. The trend selection can be de-
fined by means of configuration or online via the Trend Con-
trol buttons. The settings made can be saved in user-specific
or global templates.
Using the freely definable toolbar function, your own project-
specific functions can be integrated. This ensures maximum
flexibility.
The process values and statistical data displayed in the trend
view can be exported to a CSV file at the push of a button and
analyzed using standard tools.
Statistical evaluations for measured values
A large number of integrated statistics functions allows a com-
prehensive analysis of process states, which can be positioned
at any point in the WinCC Trend Ruler Control.
For acquired process values, the minimum, maximum, ave-
rage, standard deviation and integral can be determined and
displayed for a defined period of time.
For a simplified data analysis, a second read line can also be
used. It is also possible to have a logarithmic display of trend
sequences and to export the displayed values in Excel format.
Trend control with highlighted intermediate values
Reporting and logging system
WinCC has an integrated logging system which you can use to
put data from WinCC or from other applications on paper. It
prints data acquired during the runtime in configurable lay-
outs by means of various types of logs, from a message se-
quence log, a system message log and an operator log to user
reports. The reports can be saved as a file and displayed as pre-
view on the screen. Of course, these logs can also be configu-
red in multiple languages.
Individually configurable layouts
The report output can also be started time-controlled or
event-driven or by operator input. The printer can be selected
online via a printer selection dialog. The contents of a log can
be determined dynamically during runtime.
Open and capable of integration
WinCC logs can contain data from the database and external
data in CSV format as a table or trend. To display data from
other applications as a table or graph, you can also develop
your own report provider.
Process control functions (Basic Process Control)
The WinCC basic system also contains functions which make a
WinCC station suitable for control engineering applications -
with a minimum of engineering effort. Additional objects and
configuration tools (e.g Picture Tree Manager) in Basic Process
Control permit the easy implementation of typical process
control requirements:
Group displays
Fixed screen layout
Screen hierarchy, screen navigation
Sign-of-life monitoring
Activation of external signal transmitters (e.g. horn)
Time synchronization with PROFIBUS or Ethernet
Display of instrumentation and control (Basic Process Control)
Siemens AG 2012
In the life cycle of an automation solution, engineering costs
make up as much as 50% of the total costs. If you want to sig-
nificantly lower costs, you will need simple and efficient tools
for configuring and intuitive operator prompting. SIMATIC
WinCC provides both.
Simply use the expertise from PC applications for the industri-
al process this idea determined the development. What re-
sulted was an object-oriented, multilingual engineering envi-
ronment with a configurable configuration interface, tooltips,
comprehensive online help and configuration examples.
Refined in detail
The linking of an object to an internal or PowerTag is easily
conceivable: Once the affected object is positioned on the
screen, concise configuration dialogs appear. In addition to
this, the WinCC Graphics Designer provides the capability to
manipulate and dynamize all of the properties of an object
even activation via a script is possible in order to gain the gre-
atest possible flexibility.
The WinCC Graphics Designer supports configuration in 32
image levels. For complex images involving several overlaid
objects, individual levels can be hidden to provide a clearer
overview. There is also the convenient capability of being able
to change the properties of individual objects in a grouping of
objects without affecting the grouping.
Objects that appear more than once on the screen are gene-
rally just copied. When copying the objects, their tag links are
also copied 1:1. To optimize rewiring, i.e. the connection to
other tags, WinCC provides the rewiring dialog in which all of
the tags linked to the selected objects are listed and can be di-
rectly "rewired".
SIMATIC WinCC global object library
Screen configuration using the WinCC Graphics Designer
Configuration wizards save time for more important work
Time-saving configuration also means: delegating tasks.
SIMATIC WinCC supports the project engineer with wizards for
routine tasks. For example, the message wizard: This provides
preset parameters that can be accepted or modified. Preview
windows show the effect of the currently used parameters. If
the project engineer follows the recommendations, he can
implement cost-effective and practice-oriented solutions in
no time at all and change them at a later date, if required.
Easily get "passive knowledge" from the library
Why constantly reinvent the wheel? With the aid of the library,
previously created objects can always be called up again. In
this way, the project engineer can create company-specific,
technology-specific or sector-specific standards for quickly
creating projects. A large selection of objects are already pre-
pared and sorted by topic in the library ready to be dragged
and dropped onto the process screen.
New objects can be inserted into the library just as easily. If the
online language switching function is to be fully utilized later
during runtime, it is worthwhile to take the time to configure
such objects for multiple languages at the same time.
Centrally modifiable graphic objects
It is also possible to configure in block technology: Any num-
ber of graphical objects can be grouped into a new, user-spe-
cific faceplate, in which only those interface parameters that
are relevant to the process link "make it to the surface". These
faceplates are created and managed centrally. Changes are
automatically made at all usage points.

Cross-reference list for the listing of all the tags, functions, etc. used
WinCC as integration platform
WinCC supports the integration of its own technology-specific
XAML and .NET controls via a .NET container. In addition,
ActiveX Controls can also be created by means of the
WinCC/IndustrialX option and displayed in WinCC.
Cross-reference list and display of the screen properties
For service or plant personnel, it is often difficult to get acquain-
ted with a project and to analyze the individual project specifics.
The ideal tools in this case are a cross-reference list with the (fil-
tered) tabular listing of all of the tags, screens and functions de-
fined in the project and the central display of the screen proper-
ties directly in WinCC Explorer. In this way, WinCC creates trans-
parency in the project and facilitates the change configuration
even after a long period of time.
Configuration of multilingual applications
The texts for the runtime application can be edited in all of the
primary languages of Windows. In addition to the statistical
texts, this also includes the tooltips. With the Text Distributor
editor, all of the texts are exported in CSV format and

WinCC Text Library with message texts in five languages
Configuration tool for handling large projects
imported again so that the translation can be done easily
using a standard tool. To facilitate the translation of message
texts, there is a text library which provides the terms used in
the individual languages in the form of a table. In the text lib-
rary, you can enter the texts in the Windows languages that
are to be used later during runtime, depending on which run-
time language is currently set. User-friendly filter mechanisms
facilitate make your work easier in case of large quantity struc-
tures.
Configuration tool for configuration of mass data
For a user-friendly and quick configuration of bulk data, you
can fall back on a Microsoft Excel-based configuration tool.
Existing projects can be read and new ones can be created. In
addition to process connections and tags, measured values,
messages and the textlibrary can also be processed. For the con-
figuration of archive tags, there is also an Archive Configuration
Tool. The tabular format allows user-friendly editing and even
auto-filling. Other capabilities are provided for advanced users
via macros based on VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).
Fast certainty runtime simulation
Even before the connection to the controllers is made, a
SIMATIC WinCC project can be tested. By means of tag simula-
tion, each (internal) tag used can be assigned a value se-
quence. If the screens then appear on the monitor to be tes-
ted, it quickly becomes clear whether or not the configured
color changes are right.
A boost for commissioning: online configuration
Changing configuration data in the middle of a "hot" test phase?
No problem do it online. With the next screen selection the
modified screen is updated (and commissioning time is consi-
derably reduced!). Simultaneously, quality-relevant processes
and events are continuously recorded and can be proven wit-
hout any gaps.
Siemens AG 2012
Automation and IT solutions are generally subjected to cons-
tant change. This includes, for example, modernizations of in-
dividual sections of the plant, later plant expansions, the im-
plementation of central monitoring of various locations in a
company, and the optimization of the process sequences at a
location or in a company.
To be able to meet growing requirements, the visualization
must be expandable at any time without causing technology
incompatibilities or requiring completely new configurations.
Investment protection is a top priority. SIMATIC WinCC provi-
des the required integrated scalability, from the small single-
user solution to the client/server solution with a central
Microsoft SQL server for data archiving and operator stations
on the web.
Virtualization increases flexibility and offers a significant po-
tential for savings in system administration and maintenance.
The possibility of using simple, robust thin clients provides ad-
ditional cost benefits and increases IT security.
From a single-user system to distributed client/server solu-
tion
Scalable means that the number of tags in your project can be
upgraded as needed with PowerPacks without paying more,
as if you had chosen the larger solution in the first place.
From single-user systems, you can create coordinated opera-
tor stations at any time by means of the server option i.e. a
multi-user system. In all, up to 12 redundant WinCC servers
with 32 WinCC clients can be used in a linked system configu-
ration. The servers themselves can be configured as a distribu-
ted system. The distribution of the overall application or of the
tasks to several servers allows a considerably higher quantity
structure, relieves the individual servers and ensures good
performance.
Upon request, an optional central archive server, for example,
can be set up for central process data archiving. The distribu-
tion also allows for the topology of a plant.
The overall view of the plant is provided by WinCC Clients,
which have simultaneous access to or viewing of screens and
data of different server projects and which can also be used
for online configuration. For these clients, a shared message
view and trend view of archives from different servers can be
configured.
Limitless operator control and monitoring
WinCC can also be expanded beyond the local network (LAN)
of a site, whether in order to be able to sporadically and remo-
tely monitor a section of a plant (e.g. in wastewater treatment
plants or in station control systems) or on order to be able to
access current or historical process information (e.g. for stati-
stical analysis) from any location.
WinCC multi-user system
The WinCC/WebNavigator supports full-fledged operator con-
trol and monitoring via the web generally without requiring
changes to the project. A WinCC web server can be installed
on a WinCC single-user system, a WinCC server or client. Thus
a web client connected to the web server has access to the
projects of all (up to 12) WinCC servers in a plant from any-
where in the world.
The user administration of the operator stations on the web is
included in the database of the plant on-site. Different autho-
rization levels regulate the access rights. In addition to this,
support of standard security mechanisms for operating on the
Internet is provided. Central, plant-wide user administration,
into which web clients are also integrated, can be set up using
SIMATIC Logon.
In addition, the use of terminal services and thin clients is also
possible by means of the WinCC WebNavigator option. Via thin
client solutions, rugged on-site devices (e.g. SIMATIC Thin Cli-
ent) and mobile clients (PDA Personal Digital Assistant) can
be connected under Windows CE with few hardware require-
ments. The application itself runs on the Terminal Server.
Note
In this case, suitable protective measures (including IT security
such as network segmentation) should be taken in order to
ensure safe operation of the system. For more information on
the topic of industrial security, go to

Cost cutting through virtualization
Virtualization stands for the decoupling of software appli-
cations from the associated hardware. With SIMATIC
WinCC, SCADA solutions can also benefit from the advan-
tages of this technique, proven in the IT world. Both WinCC
clients and WinCC servers can be virtualized on various
hardware platforms. The basis of the virtualization is VM-
ware ESX(i), a worldwide established hypervisor applica-
tion. Access to the clients takes place via Ethernet and the
standardized Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). To this end,
cost-effective and robust thin clients can be used.
Savings potential
Multiple WinCC server and/or client sessions can be opera-
ted on a central HW platform
Simple thin clients, such as mobile PDAs, can be used
Reduced overhead for central administration and mainte-
nance
Increased safety
Centralized rights management
Reduced susceptibility to attack for thin clients
Higher availability and flexibility
Hardware can be replaced on the virtual server during ope-
ration
Clients can be activated simply by starting an additional
VMware session.

SIMATIC WinCC is strictly based on Microsoft technology,
which provides for the greatest possible compatibility and in-
tegration ability.
Microsoft Windows
no compromises when it comes to the operating system
WinCC was the first process visualization system on the mar-
ket with 32-bit software technology under Microsoft Windows
95/NT 4.0. Today, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2003
Server, and Windows 7 represent an open standard platform
for WinCC servers and clients or single-user systems. With
WinCC, you can follow innovations in the operating system wi-
thout any problems, which means you have the greatest pos-
sible investment protection.
Microsoft SQL Server
high-performance real-time database
The Microsoft SQL Server is already integrated into the WinCC ba-
sic system real-time behavior, performance and industry
standard included. In individual cases you can create up to
120,000 archive tags and up to 10,000 measured values or
100 messages (compressed) per second and then analyze the
data using existing WinCC tools. Via open interfaces (WinCC
OLE-DB and OPC HDA, OPC A&E), you also have the capability
of further editing archive data at any time using any external
tools. For WinCC Clients, it is also possible to dispense with the
installation of the Microsoft SQL Server. This results in lower
demands on the hardware. Using the same hardware, perfor-
mance can be increased if no database is active. Sometimes
manufacturers' specifications forbid the installation of an Mi-
crosoft SQL Server.
WinCC as integration platform
WinCC is a .NET Container, through which user-created .NET
Controls can be integrated.
ActiveX Controls open for
application modules
Via OLE (Object Linking and
Embedding), additional appli-
cations can be integrated into
the process screens and the associated data can be exchan-
ged. Technology-specific and sector-specific ActiveX Controls
also have access to the system so that you can also use rende-
red engineering services for your operating and monitoring
task. Corresponding components are widely available on the
market.
Visual Basic for Applications
for individual expansions
Whenever standards for sector-specific or project-specific so-
lutions need to be created, the desire for individual adapta-
tions and expansions of the configuration tool crops up. For
this reason, VBA
was integrated into the WinCC Graphics Designer for WinCC
the user-friendly standard environment for application-speci-
fic expansions (incl. debugging). Via VBA, you have access to
all of the configuration data (tags, messages, screens and
screenobjects, incl. dynamization). In this way, for example,
complete configurations can be automated. Thus, the Visual
Basic knowledge possessed by many project engineers and
users can be used effectively. And: proprietary standards for
recurring engineering tasks save time and money! Define your
own menu entries or quick configuration dialogs for your own
user-specific objects.
VBA script for a project template
Siemens AG 2012
Visual Basic Scripting
VBScript or ANSI-C
for scripting there is a choice
Normally, the configuration of screens, links and dynamic pro-
cesses is done via simple dialogs. If necessary, scripts can also
be programmed in VBScript or ANSI-C for example, for con-
verting values, for formulating conditions for the start of a re-
port or for creating individual messages.
VBScript has its own, user-friendly editor with debugging sup-
port. The scripts themselves have access to the properties and
methods of all WinCC graphic objects, to ActiveX Controls and
to the object model of applications from other manufacturers.
This allows the dynamic behavior of objects to be controlled,
and it also allows a connection to be established to applica-
tions from other manufacturers relatively easily (e.g. Mi-
crosoft Excel and
Microsoft SQL databases).
Open programming interfaces C-API
You would like to have additional individual applications? The
WinCC function modules are open via API interfaces, which
allow access to data and functions of the configuration and
runtime system. This allows you to use WinCC configuration
and runtime functions in your scripts or even to develop inde-
pendent applications with direct access to WinCC (e.g. con-
nections of third-party drivers or sector-specific functionali-
ties). Access to the programming interfaces is made really
easy with the Open Development Kit ODK.
OPC: Openness, Productivity, Collaboration
for cross-vendor communication
Cross-vendor communication in the automation sector has al-
ways been of primary importance for WinCC. As an OPC DA cli-
ent, WinCC can log on for current process data locally or via
the network for lower-level controllers and then receives the
data cyclically via the assigned OPC DA server. On the other
hand, the integrated WinCC OPC DA server can make current
process values available to other OPC-compatible applications
such as Microsoft Excel for further processing.
With OPC XML DA, this is even possible across platforms for
different operating systems via the web between WinCC and
Office applications, ERP/PPS systems (e.g. SAP/R3) or business-
to-business portals.
You can gain access to WinCC archive data via OPC HDA (His-
torical Data Access) or via WinCC OLE-DB Provider with the aid
of Microsoft DTSX Packages. An OPC HDA client (e.g. a re-
porting tool) can specify start and end times of an interval and
request the data to be transmitted in a targeted way for WinCC
and, if necessary, actively compress the data before the data
is transferred to higher-level systems for information prepara-
tion.
A WinCC message is displayed as an alarm with OPC A&E
(Alarm & Events) and it is forwarded together with all of the
associated process values to any subscriber in the production
or corporate management level. Filter mechanisms and
subscriptions ensure that only selected, modified data is
transmitted. Of course, acknowledgements can also be made
on the MES or ERP level. Similarly, access to messages archived
in WinCC is also possible via OPC (historical) A&E. This access
can also be simplified by using Microsoft SQL Server tools.
Siemens AG 2012
Integrated Microsoft SQL Server for data archiving for IT & Business
Integration
SIMATIC WinCC has a powerful, scalable SQL Server for data
archiving on the basis of Microsoft SQL Server integrated in
the basic system. This provides the user with all of the capabi-
lities for archiving and analysis.
Archiving ...
High-performance archiving of current process values and
process interrupts
Long-term archiving with data compression and backup
archives
Use as a central archive server (optionally redundant)
The archiving of data and events in the form of process value,
message and user archives is implemented with high perfor-
mance: up to 10,000 measured values per second and up to
15,000 messages within 10 seconds as a message burst. The
memory requirement is very low thanks to powerful compres-
sion functions. Self-contained individual archives (e.g. weekly
archives) can be swapped out to the long-term archive server
(backup server).
Up to 11 WinCC servers, remote OPC DA servers or remote da-
tabases serve as data sources. For high availability require-
ments, integrated redundant solutions can be set up with re-
dundant WinCC servers, archive servers and back-up servers.
In the WinCC basic system, it is possible to archive 512 archive
tags. PowerPacks allow an increase up to 120,000 tags.
... and analysis
The data from the WinCC archive system can be displayed via
WinCC process screens with integrated WinCC Online Trend
Control, WinCC Online Table Control, WinCC Trend Ruler Con-
trol or WinCC Alarm Control, in which statistical functions are
integrated. Additional analysis capabilities are included in the
WinCC options (e.g. WinCC ConnectivityPack, WinCC/DataMo-
nitor) and the WinCC Add-ons.
Different clients for evaluation:
WinCC SCADA Clients for operator control and monitoring
(and configuring)
WinCC Web Clients for full-fledged operator control and
monitoring via the web, via Microsoft Internet Explorer or
WinCC Web Viewer, optionally via Terminal Services
WinCC DataMonitor clients as an information portal for cur-
rent process layers via Microsoft Internet Explorer, statistics
functions, online analyses via Microsoft Excel and creating,
displaying and distributing of reports
Analysis clients on the basis of the WinCC/ConnectivitySta-
tion with free access to current and historical data
(e.g. via OPC or WinCC OLE-DB).

Increased production transparency through Plant Intelligence
Increasing quality requirements with fast product changes
and frequent modifications make production processes more
and more complex. In order to simultaneously ensure the
highest possible productivity, it must be possible to make
timely, goal-oriented process optimization decisions on all le-
vels. This requires an integrated flow of information across all
plant levels and locations. SIMATIC WinCC is the right solution
for this: Scalable client/server systems for process visualizati-
on, options for IT & Business Integration and Plant Intelligence
the basis for a high degree of transparency and process op-
timization with a quick return of investment.
Plant Intelligence is based on the intelligent utilization of in-
formation to improve processes within the company. It is desi-
gned to lower plant costs, avoid wastage, utilize production
facilities better and ultimately ensure greater efficiency and
cost effectiveness within the company.
WinCC provides the best conditions for achieving this, since
WinCC features an integrated Microsoft SQL Server for data ar-
chiving for the acquisition of important production data.
Using intelligent functions and tools, these process data can
be edited into information necessary for making decisions and
can be made available throughout the company whenever
and wherever it is required for operators as well as produc-
tion managers or anyone else within the company.
Even the WinCC basic system provides a wealth of display and
evaluation functions, such as the statistics function for the
message and measured value logs. WinCC options for Plant In-
telligence and IT & Business Integration make additional
"smart" tools available for optimizing production.
WinCC/DataMonitor
display, analysis, evaluation and distribution of current pro-
cess states and historical data on any office PC with Inter-
net-capable tools
WinCC/DowntimeMonitor
recording of downtimes in machine-oriented or line-orien-
ted production plants and analysis and derivation of plant-
specific parameters (KPIs)
WinCC/ConnectivityPack and WinCC/ConnectivityStation
access for other applications to the WinCC archives or to
current process values and messages via OPC or OLE-DB
WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge
linking of external databases, office applications and IT sys-
tems
With the integration of Plant Intelligence applications from
the machine to the company level, Siemens provides a com-
plete and scalable solution from a single source. Upgrading
from a cost-effective, powerful entry variant on the basis of
the visualization system SIMATIC WinCC to a comprehensive
optimization solution on the MES level with SIMATIC IT is
seamlessly possible. Plant Intelligence connects the SCADA le-
vel to the MES level and thus creates greater transparency in
production by means of efficient acquisition, archiving, com-
pression, analysis and distribution of production data.
The connection and integration of SCADA and MES leads to an
enormous advantage for the customer. As before, he can ex-
pand his existing SCADA solution by Plant Intelligence with SI-
MATIC WinCC options. He can extend the plant transparency
with additional expansions to the MES or company level as nee-
ded. Simatic IT can associate and evaluate parameters such as
the Key Performance Indicators across several plants and it can
thus also analyze production data such as orders, genealogy
and batch data in this way.

Part of Totally Integrated Automation
Savings in engineering and lifecycle costs
Totally Integrated Automation facilitates total integration of
the individual automation components from the controller,
distributed I/Os and drive system through HMI as far as the
production control level. You will always profit from the
unique integration. In other words: You can reduce your engi-
neering costs for automation solutions as well as your life-
cycle and overall costs.
As part of Totally Integrated Automation, SIMATIC WinCC uses
identical configuration tools under Windows, accesses shared
data of the SIMATIC Manager and communicates integrally. In
this way, WinCC uses tags and message lists, for example, of
the SIMATIC Controllers and uses their communication para-
meters. This dispenses with time-consuming multiple entries
and additional sources of error - from the very beginning.
Integrated diagnostic functions for increasing productivi-
ty
Totally Integrated Automation provides integrated diagnostics as
an essential system feature. In conjunction with other SIMATIC
components, SIMATIC WinCC also supports system diag-
nostics and process error diagnostics during normal operati-
on:
Jump into the STEP 7 hardware diagnostics directly from
WinCC
Call-up of STEP 7 blocks from WinCC screens
System diagnostics via web technology with WinCC Scope
Diagnostics of the communication link via expanded
WinCC Channel Diagnosis
Reliable process error diagnostics with WinCC/ProAgent
System diagnostics
You can start STEP 7 hardware diagnostics, for example, di-
rectly from the WinCC screen for comprehensive error diag-
nostics from circuit diagrams through to the PLC program. Just
as directly, STEP 7 blocks can be called up from WinCC screens
and thus create a direct link to the corresponding STEP 7 logic.
A WinCC operator station can also be used for maintenance
(option: SIMATIC Maintenance Station). Completely in keeping
with the concept of Totally Integrated Automation, the main-
tenance station is automatically generated from the hardware
configuration of the automation systems displayed in STEP 7.
Based on this, the maintenance station detects which devices
belong to the plant and generates an image with universal
symbols for maintenance in WinCC.
Call-up of the STEP 7 hardware diagnostics from WinCC
The diagnosis of system faults detects all of the components
that are connected to the controller via PROFIBUS or PROFINET
without configuration expense on the side of WinCC. For the
configuration, the error texts and all of the relevant diag-
nostics data are automatically adopted from the diagnostics
data saved by STEP 7. During runtime, in the event of a fault,
a system message containing all of the relevant information
(module, slot, detailed information, etc.) is automatically sent
to WinCC. The SIMATIC Maintenance Station is also based on
the diagnostics of system faults.
WinCC Scope accepts the diagnostics of the WinCC Station and
the station environment via the web. Often, the faults that pri-
marily occur during communication are difficult to analyze.
WinCC Channel Diagnosis helps you to quickly detect and clear
faults.
Process error diagnostics
With the process error diagnostics messages from the control-
ler via S7-PDIAG and S7-GRAPH, irregularities in the event of a
fault with WinCC/ProAgent are also displayed in WinCC wit-
hout additional configuration expense and without additional
diagnostics tools. In this way, WinCC effectively supports you
in fault localization and clearing and considerably reduces the
downtimes of your machine or plant.

Coupling options
Number of connectable controllers
For communication via Industrial Ethernet with a CP 1613
communications processor, with a maximum message frame
length of 512 bytes up to 60 SIMATIC S5/505 Controllers or up
to 64 SIMATIC S7 Controllers and via PROFIBUS with a CP 5613
a max. of 44 controllers (CP 5611 max. 8) can be connected.
With approx. 10 or more controllers, the use of Industrial
Ethernet is recommended.
Mixed mode with different controls
With their multiprotocol stack, CP 1613 and CP 5614 commu-
nications processors support the parallel operation of two pro-
tocols, e.g. for mixed operation of a variety of PLCs via a bus
cable. WinCC supports the operation of two similar communi-
cation processors only in connection with the channels SIMA-
TIC S5 Ethernet Layer 4 (2 x CP 1613), SIMATIC S7 Protocol Sui-
te (2 x CP 1613, 2 x CP 5613) as well as PROFIBUS DP
(4 x CP 5613; each CP 5613 max. 122 slaves). In addition to
communication via Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS, a
CP 5511 or CP 5611 can be used for communication with
SIMATIC S7 via MPI.
Client/server communication
The communication between the clients and the server is
achieved using the TCP/IP protocol, generally via a separate
LAN. For small projects with correspondingly low message
frame traffic, Industrial Ethernet can be used for both process-
server and client-server communication.
Communication redundancy
The software package S7-REDCONNECT is required for the re-
dundant connection of PCs via 2 x Industrial Ethernet to
SIMATIC S7. Pure communication redundancy can also be
achieved by setting up optical rings.
Connection to controllers and systems from other manu-
facturers
A communications interface for Allen Bradley controllers and
Modbus is included in the scope of supply of WinCC.
For connecting to controllers and systems of other manufac-
turers, OPC is recommended. Current notes about OPC servers
can be found at:
www.opcfoundation.org
WinCC supports the following standards:
OPC Data Access Client and Server 1.1, 2.05a, 3.0
OPC XML Data Access V1.0 Client (in basic package) and

SIMATIC WinCC Options 29
WinCC/Server Setup of client/server systems
Through the use of the server option, you can expand a WinCC
single-user system to a powerful client/server system. In this
way, you can operate several coordinated
Multi-user system with up to 32 clients on one server
operator control and monitoring stations in a group with net-
worked automation systems. One server supplies up to 32 con-
nected clients with process and archive data, messages, screens
and reports. The prerequisite is a network connection (TCP/IP)
between the computer (server) and the connected clients.
Servers and clients as required
Depending on the size of the plant, up to 12 redundant serv-
ers can be used in a client/server solution. The plant is operat-
ed via SCADA clients, which access a server or provide a cen-
tral view of several servers (see also "distributed system"). For
the clients, only the smallest runtime license RT 128 is need-
ed, or if configuration is to be done on the client, the smallest
complete license RC 128. This makes it possible to configure
cost-effective operator and configuration stations in a net-
work. The configuration of the screens can of course be car-
ried out online without affecting the functioning of the serv-
ers and operator stations. Operator stations can also be imple-
mented in the form of web clients. In mixed configurations
with SCADA and web clients, the following mixed quantity
structure limits result, for example (variations possible):
50 WinCC web clients and
1 WinCC SCADA/configuration client, or
32 WinCC SCADA clients and 3 WinCC web clients.
Distributed system
In a complex plant, you can also configure WinCC as a distrib-
uted system - depending on the requirements with functional
distribution (e.g. message and archive servers) or distributed
corresponding to the physical plant structure (e.g. body-in-
white, paint shop, etc.). The distribution of the overall appli-
cation or of the tasks to several servers allows a considerably
higher quantity structure, relieves the individual servers and
ensures good performance. The distribution also allows for
the topology of a plant.
A central archive server is a special example for a functional
distribution (with the WinCC/Central Archive Server (CAS)
option).
Benefits
Setup of a client/server system for operator control
and monitoring of large plants with up to 12 WinCC
servers and 32 coordinated operator stations
(also possible later)
Distributed function or applications on
several servers with higher quantity structures with
high system performance
Project-wide overview with access to all of the servers
in the plant from one operator station
Clients can also be configured as remote web servers
Cost-effective configuration of clients

out SQL servers (meets requirements of IT depart-
ments in large companies)

WinCC/CentralArchiveServer (CAS) Central archiving
Central data management, reliable and high-performance ar-
chiving of long-term relevant data and central backup mecha-
nisms are the basis of an archive server solution. Integration
in the SCADA world, data interfaces for accessing archived da-
ta, and analysis capabilities are the associated components.
The WinCC/CentralArchiveServer (CAS) option was designed
for this purpose and is used to export the archived data of all
servers in the system to an (optionally redundant) central ar-
chive server (CAS) and manage it. Through the integration of
the CAS into the WinCC world, the data remains accessible to
the WinCC clients as well as via the WinCC standard interfaces.
The WinCC/CAS can be configured with redundancy in order to
increase availability. In addition, it is possible to use a RAID sys-
tem on the CAS.
Function
Both process value archives and message archives are created
on the individual WinCC servers and transferred to the CAS
and backed up, compressed and archived there when individ-
ual database segments have been closed. For long-term ar-
chiving of reports, the created emf files are swapped out to
the CAS. There, they are also saved in the database. With
"Store&Forward", when the network is interrupted between
the WinCC server and CAS, data will be reliably transferred as
soon as the network is operating again.
In addition, data from any OPC DA servers or from external
databases can be archived on the WinCC/CAS. The WinCC/CAS
thus becomes a company-wide information hub, via which
the centrally acquired data can be forwarded to the produc-
tion level and the corporate management level MES/ERP.
The access rights for the central archive server data are set in
the WinCC user administration.
Accessing data for displaying and analysis is possible and
transparent via the WinCC client or the WinCC/DataMonitor
client option. It is of no consequence whether the data is on
the WinCC server or already on the CAS. For displaying (e.g. in
WinCC Online Trend or WinCC Alarm Control), the data is
automatically and correctly delivered for the selected time
range. In addition, the data saved on the CAS can also be
viewed via the "StoragePlus Webviewer" in the options pack-
age with the aid of the Microsoft Internet Explorer. It provides
views of alarm tables, hit lists, process values in the form of
trends or tables and WinCC reports. The data of the distributed
WinCC system can also be accessed through the familiar inter-
faces (OPC DA, OPC HDA, OPC A&E, OPC (historical) A&E and
Ole-DB) of the WinCC/ConnectivityPack option or WinCC/Con-
nectivityStation. In this manner, the data saved in the CAS can
be efficiently transferred to higher-level systems or used for
the purposes of analysis.
Licenses
The WinCC/CentralArchiveServer (CAS) option contains all of
the licenses for a central archive server with up to 1500 ar-
chive tags. If higher quantity structures occur over the course
of the project, the number of usable archive tags can be up-
graded via Archive PowerPacks by 1,500, 5,000, 10,000,
30,000 or 80,000 archive tags to a maximum of 120,000 ar-
chive tags.

WinCC/WebNavigator Operator control and monitoring via the web
The WinCC/WebNavigator provides you with the capability of
operating and monitoring your plant via the Internet or the
company-internal intranet or LAN without the need for chang-
es to the WinCC project. This results in the capability to display,
operate and access archives just as for on-site operator sta-
tions. This also means
Operator control and monitoring of the plant via a web browser
that the displayed process screens can contain Visual Basic or
C scripts for dynamic sequences, that the operator interface
can be switched between several languages and that the op-
erator stations on the web are integrated into the user admin-
istration of the plant on-site.
New application areas
In addition to the typical use of the WinCC/WebNavigator in
WANs (Wide Area Networks), the WinCC/WebNavigator can
also be used for applications that must be implemented at
minimal cost. These include applications that have a pro-
nounced distributed structure (e.g. water/wastewater) or in
which access to process information is only sporadic (building
management). In addition to this, web clients can also be
used as normal operator stations on the LAN.
Web server and clients
For a web solution, the WebNavigator is installed on a WinCC
single-user system or server and a WebNavigator client is set up
on any Windows PC. This allows a running WinCC project to be
operated and monitored via Microsoft Internet Explorer, or via
Terminal Services, without the need for a WinCC basic system
on the computer. It is also possible to use the web client with-
out Microsoft Internet Explorer; the visual appearance corre-
sponds to the standard client. Such a web server can also be
set up on each WinCC (SCADA) client. This means that a web
client that is connected to the web server can access the proj-
ects of all (up to 12) redundant WinCC servers in a plant from
anywhere in the world. The projects can be displayed simulta-
neously in different tabs, e.g. via the multi-tabbing function-
ality of Microsoft Internet Explorer V7.
In this case, the web client also switches transparently be-
tween redundant, lower-level WinCC servers. If the browser is
started several times on the web client, it is even possible to
simultaneously view several plants, i.e. also several web serv-
ers.
A security concept made to order
The separation of WinCC servers and web servers already en-
sures greater security and availability, and this can be even fur-
ther enhanced by means of independent web servers on two
independent SCADA clients. The operator stations on the web
are included in the user administration of the plant on-site.
Different authorization levels govern who has which access
rights.
Benefits
Operator control and monitoring over long distances
with up to 50 operator stations simultaneously
Fast update rates due to event-driven communication
Optimally tailored clients for operating and monitor-
ing, analysis, service and diagnostics
Thin client solutions on different platforms (PC, on-
site panel, mobile PDA)
Web and terminal clients can be added whenever
required
Minimum maintenance costs due to central software
administration
Acceptance of configuration data for the web,
generally without changes
Increased security and availability due to separation
of WinCC and web server
Granting access rights using plant-wide user adminis-
tration
High Internet security standards
Siemens AG 2012
The operator can either just view the plant (view only) or par-
tially/fully operate it, depending on the configuration of his ac-
cess rights. Every login and logout can be traced by means of a
system message. An optional logout after a configurable period
of time is another security feature in addition to the option of
disabling certain key combinations, and this allows the use of
WinCC/WebNavigator even where FDA requirements must be
met. Furthermore, the WebNavigator supports all of the stan-
dard security mechanism that can be used for applications on
the Internet such as routers, firewalls, proxy servers, SSL en-
cryption and VPN technologies.
Thin clients on various operating system platforms on the WinCC/WebNav-
igator server
Thin client solutions
Via thin client solutions with Microsoft Terminal Services, simple
PCs under a Windows operating system, rugged on-site devices
(e.g. SIMATIC Thin Client), and mobile devices can also be connect-
ed. Such solutions have few hardware requirements, because the
clients only provide the screen display, while the application itself,
i.e. the WebNavigator client, runs on the terminal server under
Windows. Up to 25 thin clients can be connected to one terminal
server. In contrast to typical WebNavigator installations, the thin
clients are generally located on the same LAN as the server. Access
via WAN, RAS and even via the intranet/Internet are, however, also
permitted. Mobile devices can be connected via various media,
such as mobile radio links or wireless LAN.
Server farms with Load Balancing
If a great many web operator stations are needed at the same
time, server farms can be configured with several web servers.
This requires a Load Balancing license for the participating web
servers. With Load Balancing, a compensation of the load is pos-
sible by means of which newly connected web clients are auto-
matically assigned to the web server with the currently lowest
load. The web servers all have access to one and the same WinCC
project and each can have up to 50 web clients assigned. In all,
there can be several hundred operator stations on the web. If the
assigned web server fails, the clients attempt to connect to anoth-
er web server in the server farm.
Licenses as required
The WebNavigator client software can be installed as many
times as required without the need for a license. A corre-
sponding (server-based) license is required in order to use the
WebNavigator server. Licenses are available for simultaneous
access to the Web server by 3, 10, 25, or 50 clients. Power-
Packs are available for upgrading the number of simultane-
ously active clients. In addition, the diagnostics clients licens-
ing is ideal for system integrators who are responsible for
maintenance and servicing of widely distributed plants.
WinCC/WebNavigator diagnostics clients have, regardless of
the number of current accesses, guaranteed access to all web
servers with the WinCC/WebNavigator license or the cost-ef-
fective WinCC/WebNavigator diagnostics server license.
Web server farms (load balancing) with many web clients
Note
In this case, suitable protective measures (including IT security
such as network segmentation) should be taken in order to
ensure safe operation of the system. For more information on
the topic of industrial security, go to

WinCC/Calendar Options Working with calendar functions
The Calendar Options supplement WinCC with calendar-
based functions. A common calendar control supports the
planning of schedules and of validity periods. You can use
the Calendar Scheduler to trigger time-based actions; the
Event Notifier sends messages depending on specific
events in the WinCC message system.
Calendar Scheduler
The Calendar Scheduler supplements WinCC by a calendar-
based HMI in the style of Microsoft Office. It includes editors
with which events and associated actions can be configured
and managed. The planned events and actions can be con-
nected directly to WinCC tags or global scripts.
In order to control the plant process, several calendars, events
and associated actions can be created, filtered, edited and man-
aged. For example, the action editor can be used to execute pro-
gram scripts. The editor supports events and interruptions
which occur regularly, e.g. holidays or maintenance work.
Points in time or areas in which actions (Scheduler) or messages (Notifier)
are triggered can be configured in a similar way to a Microsoft Outlook cal-
endar.
Multi-level user privileges protect the scheduling from unau-
thorized access. The message system logs and displays every
action carried out. This guarantees comprehensibility of the
corresponding events.
Event Notifier
You can use the Event Notifier to set which people in a defined
time period are notified about specific events. The events are
associated with messages in the WinCC message system. Con-
tacts can even be selected as potential messaging targets from
the WinCC user administration during runtime. The messages
can be sent via
email or via a provider gateway as text message (SMS) to a
mobile phone.
If multiple groups of people are defined for messaging in the
same time frame, different escalation times (i.e. delay time
before messaging) can be realized. This means that group 2 is
only messaged if none of the people "on-site" or the previously
messaged people have responded within the configured esca-
lation time. When someone reacts to the triggering event, all
persons messaged receive an acknowledgment.
Calendar Control is configured in the Graphics Designer and
can be dynamized with all WinCC standard mechanisms such
as tag connection, VBS, C, direct connections or dynamic dia-

WinCC/DataMonitor Visualizing processes, analyzing and distributing data
The WinCC/DataMonitor is an important component for Plant
Intelligence applications in connection with the SIMATIC
WinCC visualization system. The DataMonitor is used for dis-
playing (view only), analyzing, evaluating and distributing
current process states, historical data and messages from the
process database. With the DataMonitor, WinCC process data
can thus be made available to all function levels of a company
via the web.
Powerful tools for displaying and evaluating current process
states and historical data (measured values, messages, user
data) from the process database allow the efficient monitor-
ing and analysis of production and reports to be created and
distributed to the people concerned. For displaying, a Data-
Monitor client can be installed on any office PC. The data pro-
vider, a WinCC/WebNavigator or a WinCC/DataMonitor server
can be installed on any WinCC single-user system, server or cli-
ent.
Specific functions of the DataMonitor client can be imple-
mented without installation. Tools for the full scope of func-
tions can then be downloaded from a download area.
The DataMonitor and its tools
For visualization and evaluation, WinCC/DataMonitor provides
a range of Internet-capable tools, which support all of the
popular security mechanisms such as login/password, fire-
walls, encryption, etc.:
Process Screens
Purely for monitoring (View Only) via WinCC process screens
Trends & Alarms
Display and analysis of archived process values and mes-
sages in trends or tabular form
Excel Workbooks
Transfer of archived process values into an Excel table for
evaluation and display via the web or as a print template for
reports
Published Reports
Automatic generation of time-driven and event-driven
reports in Excel format or as PDF file
WebCenter
Central information portal for access to WinCC data via
user-specific views
User administration
Administration of DataMonitor users in user groups with in-
dividual rights for reading, writing and creating WebCenter
sites
The Process Screens function is used exclusively for monitor-
ing and navigating using WinCC process screens with Micro-
soft Internet Explorer as the "View Only Client". The
WinCC/DataMonitor uses the same mechanisms as the
WinCC/WebNavigator, e.g. for communication, user adminis-
tration and displaying the screens. Trends and Alarms is a tool
for displaying and analyzing archived WinCC process values
and messages via predefined web sites. These contain the dis-
plays for the process value table, the trend display as well as
the alarm table and the hit list of the alarms (including filter
functionality). They also contain the statistics functions avail-
able in WinCC for process value sequences (e.g. average, stan-
dard deviation, variance). In the tables, only the desired
WinCC archive data (measured values or messages) must then
be parameterized. Data selected online can be exported to a
CSV file if desired and then be further processed (e.g. com-
pressed) later.
Benefits
Display and analysis of current process states and his-
torical data on office PCs with standard tools such as
the Internet Explorer or Microsoft Excel
No additional configuration overhead, because
screens from the WinCC project can be used directly
Evaluation via centrally administered templates for
detailed analyses of the company processes
(e.g. reports, statistics)
Information from the process can be individually
compiled online during runtime (information portal)
and distributed to different recipients via e-mail.
User administration with user groups and individual
access rights (read, write, create)
Siemens AG 2012
WinCC/DataMonitor Visualizing processes, analyzing and distributing data
Trends and Alarms is a tool for displaying and analyzing ar-
chived WinCC process values and messages. Predefined web
sites already contain the displays for the process value table,
the associated trend displays, the alarm table and the hit list
of the alarms with associated operator functions. They also
contain the statistics functions available in WinCC for process
value sequences and messages (e.g. average, standard devia-
tion, variance). Tables then only have to be linked to the de-
sired WinCC archive data (measured values or messages). Se-
lected data can be exported to a CSV file if desired and then be
further processed (e.g. compressed) later.
The Excel Workbooks are a logging tool for displaying mes-
sages and current or archived process values in an Excel table.
The data can then be evaluated, graphically prepared and
compiled for a report by means of a user-friendly wizard using
Excel resources. Newly created Excel workbooks can be pub-
lished and thus prepared for displaying via the intranet/Inter-
net or used as a template for reports that are to be automati-
cally created via Published Reports. Reports can also be creat-
ed offline and saved locally as a user-specific evaluation.
Published Reports automatically generate print jobs from
WinCC reports and prepared Excel workbooks. Reports are ini-
tiated either time-controlled (e.g. at the end of the shift) or
event-driven (e.g. when a WinCC tag is changed) and, if appli-
cable, distributed by e-mail. A report created using Excel is
saved as an xls file and one created using WinCC Report De-
signer is saved as a pdf file. The reports can then be further
processed.
The WebCenter is the central information portal for access to
WinCC data via the intranet or Internet. Here, users with cor-
responding user rights can compile WinCC process data, mes-
sages and process screens for any number of screen views for
various groups of persons. Specific process values can be se-
lected by means of filter mechanisms. By means of these
views, WinCC data can be compared, analyzed, evaluated and,
if necessary, even exported over absolute or relative periods of
time.
WebCenter: Compilation of an information portal
On a WebCenter site, the user can configure his own screen
views from the WebParts and save them. WebParts are process
value tables, trends, statistics displays, alarm table (including hit
list), and a graphical, link and favorites display. Process values
can be connected to generate graduated or linear trends.
WinCC screens can be integrated in the WebCenter without in-
stallation overhead.
This allows various information from the plant to be generat-
ed in an understandable form for different user groups, corre-
sponding to the function areas of a company, e.g for Quality
Assurance (e.g. tables and trend diagrams with operating fig-
ures), the plant operator (e.g. pie charts with piece counters)
or the service personnel (e.g. trends with temperature charac-
teristics).
Licensing as required
The licensing is server-based, which means that it is done on
an existing WebNavigator or on an additional DataMonitor
server. Depending on the license selected, the DataMonitor
software package for the DataMonitor server contains
1, 3, 10, 25 or 50 client licenses. The number of client licenses
describes the maximum number of simultaneously active cli-
ents. Any number of clients can be connected. PowerPacks are
available for upgrading the number of simultaneously active
clients.

WinCC/DowntimeMonitor Detection and analysis of downtimes
Using the WinCC/DowntimeMonitor, the machine data man-
agement software, standstill times can be recorded and ana-
lyzed centrally in machine or line-oriented production plants.
For individual devices, machines or entire production lines,
the specific parameters can be determined this way:
OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency)
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
MRT (Mean Repair Time),> and other Key Performance
Indicators (KPI).
The production equipment can be individually and plant-spe-
cifically defined. The maximum production speed or quantity
per time unit can be adapted to new conditions during run-
time when different products are to be produced.
Fault analyses provide information about the frequency and
duration of machine or plant downtimes. Corresponding dis-
play instruments can be effortlessly integrated in WinCC pro-
cess screens.
In the DowntimeMonitor, the time model of the production
equipment is determined from production, maintenance and
downtimes. The shifts can also be included in the analysis via
shift calendars. Three shift calendars can be activated simulta-
neously. All of the plant statuses relevant to the evaluation are
parameterized in a detailed cause directory. The determined
data gives information on the effectiveness of individual ma-
chines and of entire production plants. The transparency of
the data allows for a quick response and countermeasures in
the event of faults, which increases the availability of the ma-
chine.
All of the analysis results are integrated in the form of controls
in WinCC screens. A distinction is made between several dif-
ferent display instruments:
Gantt and Pareto charts
Bar or column charts
Trends or tables
The displayed data can be processed with WinCC and WinCC
options and distributed via the web to different people as
needed.
As Windows service, the DowntimeMonitor can be operated
in locked server rooms.

WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge Connection to databases and IT systems
WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge uses standard interfaces in order
to connect the automation level with the IT world and ensure
two-way information flow. Examples of such interfaces are
OPC in the field of automation and Microsoft SQL database
interfaces in the IT world. Systems from different manufactur-
ers can be integrated via a number of standard interfaces. The
configuration is done cost-effectively (without programming
) via standard software. Typically, WinCC (or other SIMATIC
products such as WinCC flexible) with its OPC DA server inter-
face is the data source and an external database is the data
destination. In addition, access to the archived messages and
process values in the WinCC database is possible via the
WinCC OLE-DB provider. Depending on the volume of data,
licenses are available with 128, 512, 2k and 10k tags.
Flexible control point between applications
IndustrialDataBridge establishes a connection between the
source and destination interface and transfers the data
depending on a value change,
after a configurable time period has elapsed or
when a certain event occurs.
WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge connects the production level with IT systems, such as databases
Benefits

IndustrialDataBridge exchanges data between automation
systems from different vendors, e.g. via OPC. The connection
of OPC servers via IndustrialDataBridge enables communica-
tion between a variety of devices, data sources and data des-
tinations:
Coupling of SCADA and control systems from different
manufacturers via the OPC interface
Storage of process data in Office formats
such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access.
SQL databases are available as data destinations for operat-
ing data acquisition. The data can be transferred from the
data source either in an event-driven way via the OPC or
sent directly from the controller.
With a database as a data source, recipes and default values
can be transferred directly into WinCC or a controller.
Cyclic data archiving can be implemented via the OPC Data
Access, WinAC ODK or Send/Receive data sources and the
SQL database data target.
The WinCC/ConnectivityPack and WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge
allow licensed access to online and archived data of WinCC.
Both options include licenses for access via:
WinCC OPC-XML-DA server
WinCC OPC-DA server
WinCC OPC-HDA server
WinCC OPC-A&E server
Win CC OPC UA client
A WinCC Client Access License (WinCC/CAL) is no longer re-
quired as of WinCC/ConnectivityPack and WinCC/Industrial-
DataBridge V7.0.
Note
In the case of access to WinCC user archives via Microsoft
OLE-DB, a ConnectivityPack license is required on the comput-
er with the WinCC user archives.

WinCC/ConnectivityPack, WinCC/ConnectivityStation
Access to WinCC using OPC & WinCC OLE-DB
Cross-vendor communication in the automation sector has al-
ways been of primary importance for WinCC. WinCC therefore
has a standard integrated OPC DA 3.0 server (data access),
which gives access to all online values in the system and
which, as a client, can read data from another application via
the web as well.
The WinCC/ConnectivityPack provides additional capabilities.
This means that preprocessed production and process data
can be transferred to higher-level systems for information pro-
cessing (e.g. MES Manufacturing Execution System, ERP En-
terprise Resource Planning or Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Ac-
cess, etc.) and feedback messages can be received in the form
of job data or acknowledgements.
Access to messages and historical data via OPC/
WinCC OLE-DB
The option package encompasses the servers OPC HDA 1.1
(Historical Data Access) and OPC A&E 1.0 (Alarm & Events) for
access to historical data of the WinCC archive system or for for-
warding/acknowledging messages. As an OPC XML DA 1.0
server, WinCC can provide data across platforms via the web
PPS/MES systems and, conversely, as an OPC XML DA client, it
can accept job data or recipe data.
As an HDA server, WinCC makes historical data from the
WinCC archive system available to other applications. The OPC
client (e.g. a reporting tool) can specify the start and end time
of a time interval and thus request the data to be transferred
in a targeted manner. The client can also call up preprocessed
data from the HDA server, which means actively start data
compression, before the data is transferred. The OPC HDA
server can also be used in redundant configurations.
A WinCC message for a current process interrupt is displayed
as an alarm with OPC A&E and it is forwarded together with all
of the associated process values to any subscriber in the pro-
duction or corporate management level. Filter mechanisms

alarms via OPC (historical) A&E can be implemented very eas-
ily by means of access via Microsoft SQL server tools. Via the
WinCC OLE-DB provider, it is possible to directly access the ar-
chive data (messages, process values, user data) that is saved
in the Microsoft SQL server database by WinCC. Statistic func-
tions can also be used. Access to the WinCC OLE-DB provider
is also possible from the script languages C# and VB.NET.
From a WinCC multi-client, transparent data access is also pos-
sible via OLE DB to redundant WinCC systems and distributed
configurations with a central archive server. For addressing,
only a symbolic computer name is needed.
WinCC/ConnectivityStation
If no visualization is required at a station, any Windows com-
puter can be configured via this WinCC option package as a
WinCC/ConnectivityStation with access to WinCC via OPC and
WinCC OLE-DB without a WinCC installation being necessary.
Client Access Licenses (CAL)
You will find information on the use of WinCC/CAL in connec-
tion with the ConnectivityPack on page 37.
WinCC/TeleControl Remote control
technology
SIMATIC WinCC TeleControl flexibly integrates remote termi-
nal units equipped with SIMATIC automation components into
the central process visualization system of the overall plant via
a WAN (Wide Area Network). The main fields of application
can be found in the water/wastewater and oil and gas sectors.
SIMATIC WinCC TeleControl supports the three most impor-
tant telecontrol protocols IEC 60870-5 101/104, DNP V3 (seri-
al or TCP/IP), and SINAUT ST7 (serial or TCP/IP). The software
can be individually adapted to the requirements of a plant.
The uniform user interface for local and remote processes
minimizes the risk of error. Less time is required for training of
the employees, since the same SIMATIC WinCC process visual-
ization system is used for telecontrol and for the actual pro-
cess visualization. Installation, commissioning and mainte-
nance costs can therefore also be reduced considerably.
Benefits
Integration of remote terminal units in central pro-
cess visualization
The most important telecontrol protocols are sup-
ported
The uniform user interface for local and remote pro-
cesses minimizes overhand and the probability of

WinCC/Redundancy Increasing the system availability through redundancy
It is possible to increase system availability by means of redun-
dancy for applications with WinCC by using
redundant servers,
redundant communication paths and
high-availability controllers.
WinCC/redundancy provides the capability to operate two in-
terconnected WinCC single-user systems or servers in parallel
in order to monitor each other. For each redundant partner
server you will need one of the two redundancy licenses from
the delivery kit of the options package. If one of the two server
computers fails, the second server assumes control of the en-
tire system. After the failed server is operative again, the con-
tents of all the message and process value archives are copied
to the other (now operative) server. In all, this leads to signif-
icantly higher system availability. You production remains on-
line, even if a server should fail. The status information of the
WinCC server is also synchronized when an additional second
computer connection is available (serial or via Ethernet).
Functional principle
Normally, two WinCC stations or process data servers are run-
ning completely in parallel, i.e. each station has its own pro-
cess connection and own archives. The clients that are con-
nected to the servers can be distributed to any of the servers,
which leads to a reduction in load.
Normal case
When one of the two WinCC stations fails, the other takes
over the archiving of messages, process data and user data.
This ensures data integrity with no gaps. In client/server
mode, the clients are automatically switched from the failed
server to the redundant partner. This ensures continuous
plant visualization and operation on every operator station. A
license is only required on the redundant single-user system
or redundant server.
Failure of a client
Benefits
Increased system availability and data integrity
without gaps
Automatic switch-over when a server fails or the
communication to the server fails
Continuous operation and visualization through
automatic switchover of the clients to the intact
server
Automatic synchronization of all archives, message
information (message lists and statuses, message
acknowledgements, comments) and internal tags in

When a failed partner is restored, all of the archived process
values, messages (including statuses, acknowledgements,
lists and comments), data from the user archive of the failure
period and internal tags are automatically synchronized with
the partner in the background without affecting the system
that is operating. Once this is complete, two equivalent serv-
ers/stations will be available again. The clients connected to
the servers are distributed among their original server part-
ners again. The automatic switchover to the redundant part-
ner takes place not only when a server fails, but also in case of
disturbed process communication or faulty applications.
Return of the client
Additional increase in system availability
In addition to the capability of using two servers connected in
parallel via the WinCC/Redundancy option, you can also de-
sign the communication channels for the SIMATIC S7 control-
ler to be redundant in a WinCC application. Two communica-
tions processors are plugged in and the communication paths
are doubled (communication software S7 REDCONNECT). The
use of the failsafe H series SIMATIC S7 Controllers can, if re-
quired, further increase availability at the control level. Com-
bining the system solutions creates a security concept that
meets even high demands.

WinCC/ProAgent Increased availability through process diagnostics
Increased productivity is being achieved more and more by
cutting costs. In this context, the focus is increasingly on
maintenance. The emphasis here is on rectifying faults as
quickly and efficiently as possible. Ideally, the operating per-
sonnel should also perform part of the maintenance tasks.
The operating personnel are on-site, they are familiar with the
procedures and can intervene quickly. This saves time and re-
duces costs. It is precisely here that ProAgent can assist oper-
ating personnel in identifying faults quickly, particularly in the
automotive and machine tool industries.
In the event of a process fault, process error diagnosis with SI-
MATIC ProAgent will provide information about the location
and cause of that fault and support personnel with trouble-
shooting. The ProAgent solution has been optimized specifi-
cally for use with SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 and SIMATIC WinAC.
It can be used in combination with the S7-PDIAG, S7-GRAPH
STEP 7 engineering tools. The ProAgent option package fea-
tures standard displays that are updated with process-specific
data during runtime.
Standard views instead of configuration
ProAgent is available for various devices and software plat-
forms from the SIMATIC HMI range: Panels and Multi Panels,
WinCC flexible and WinCC. ProAgent contains standard views,
which are attuned to the requirements of the process error di-
agnosis of a plant or machine. During configuration, the data
that is relevant to process error diagnosis such as symbols,
comments and message texts are saved in a standardized data
management system. During runtime, the standard screens
are then filled with process-specific data.
For SIMATIC WinCC, ProAgent directly accesses the engineer-
ing data and imports it into the WinCC project. The ProAgent
standard screens needed for the diagnostics mode are auto-
matically created in WinCC. ProAgent and STEP 7 engineering
tools represent a standardized diagnostics concept for
SIMATIC S7. No additional configuration overhead for the
WinCC application is thus required for the diagnostics func-
tionality.
The standard views are: message view, unit overview, diag-
nostics detailed view, motion view and the sequencer operat-
ing display.
Functional scope
Context-sensitive diagnostics initiation due to process error

Output of the operands with symbols and comment
Switch-over capability between LAD, STL and signal list
Supporting fault rectification by means of direct process ac-
cess when using the motion view

SIMATIC Maintenance Station
User interface for efficient maintenance
Constant high productivity is simply the competitive require-
ment in production. Production outages should be avoided if
possible or if this is not possible they should be kept to a
minimum. Often, downtimes are caused by maintenance that
is not optimal. This is where intelligent maintenance strate-
gies are needed. The main goal of which is to make it possible
to plan maintenance, which will significantly reduce down-
times. Efficient maintenance is possible with the WinCC SI-
MATIC Maintenance Station option. The Maintenance Station
can either be configured as separate operator station with
maintenance functionality, or it can run together with the
WinCC process visualization on a WinCC operator station.
Monitoring the plant status via automatically generated screens
Since the same operator control and monitoring tools are
used, the display can be switched between visualization and
maintenance. The advantage is clear: The plant operator gets
an overview at any time of the current Identification and
Maintenance (I&M) information without having to interrupt
the process.
Generating instead of configuring
The Maintenance Station is configured when the user selects
(in STEP 7) the automation systems to be mapped for a hard-
ware configuration. Based on this, the Maintenance Station
detects which devices belong to the plant and generates an
image for maintenance in WinCC. The integration of compo-
nents is based on established standards for PROFIBUS and
PROFINET, and is possible for a large number of devices from
many different vendors.
The project is automatically generated in the form of hierar-
chically structured, already interconnected WinCC screens
without additional programming overhead for the user and
is then automatically transferred to the Maintenance Station.
New hardware components are incorporated into the hard-
ware configuration of STEP 7 and are then automatically avail-
able for use by the Maintenance Station. Manual updating is
unnecessary, consequential costs are avoided.
Corrective/preventive maintenance
During operation the Maintenance Station displays all of the
connected controller components (PLC, operator panels),
switchgear, drives, networks (PROFIBUS, PROFINET), etc. and
monitors the current plant status with uniform symbols. The
program does not only respond when faults occur (i.e. correc-
tive maintenance), but it also responds to the warnings gen-
erated by the components that are supposed to prevent faults
in advance (preventive maintenance). The timing of such con-
dition-based measures can be planned such that the existing
resources can be used optimally.
Maintenance jobs can be printed out directly, forwarded by
the WinCC Premium Add-on AlarmControlCenter ACC directly
to the service personnel or to the WinCC Premium Add-on PM-
MAINT (maintenance management system).
The SIMATIC Maintenance Station provides the perfect sup-
port for the maintenance sequence. It creates a comprehen-
sive database for subsequent optimization of the plant.
Benefits
Visualization of the maintenance information of the
entire automation technology
Automatic derivation of the data from the hardware
configurations
Cross-vendor display of identification and mainte-
nance data
Automatic messages ensure that events and operator
inputs are fully comprehensible, providing a basis for
subsequent evaluation for optimizing the plant
Data, visualization and operation of the SCADA sys-
tem and Maintenance Station are uniform and con-
sistent

WinCC/Audit
Tracing operator inputs and project changes using Audit Trails
WinCC/Audit is used for monitoring operator activities in run-
time mode and for recording project changes during the engi-
neering phase. All change data is recorded in a protected data-
base, the "Audit Trail", and displayed via the Audit Viewer. The
use of WinCC/Audit leads to gap-free traceability of both the
operator activities and the project changes and simultaneous-
ly helps mechanical engineers and plant operators to reduce
the engineering costs for meeting requirements according to
21 CFR Part 11 and EU 178/2002. The engineering measures
that are necessary for simplifying the validation are docu-
mented in a White Paper.
More on the guidelines mentioned:
www.fda.gov
www.eur-lex.europa.eu
Monitoring the runtime mode
In runtime mode
completed operator actions,
activities within the scope of the central user administra-
tion with SIMATIC Logon
and the starting and changing of recipes are stored in the
Audit Trail.
In addition, the plant operator can individually record certain
events by means of an Audit Entry function, e.g.:
the operation of buttons and sliders
or the pressing of a key
in the Audit Trail.
Monitoring the runtime mode with WinCC/Audit (Runtime Auditing)
Audit Trail database and Audit Viewer
All modification data such as operator actions, configuration
changes and changes that are subject to document control are
stored in the Audit Trail database. The Audit Trails are made up
of:
Date and time of the modification

Audit Trail data are visualized using the Audit Viewer. Users se-
lect the desired view of the Audit Trail data via filters and they
can export the data to an Excel file. Audit Trail data are protect-
ed and can thus not be modified or deleted. WinCC Audit
therefore also satisfies the FDA requirements according to
21CFR Part 11 in this respect.
Tracing project changes
The tracing of project changes with WinCC/Audit is done as de-
scribed for WinCC/ChangeControl (see page 45).
Access to the Audit Trail database using the Audit Viewer
Benefits
Reliable recording of operator actions and project
changes in an Audit Trail
Project versioning and document control
Compliant with the requirements of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA)
Reduced engineering overhead to comply with
21 CFR Part 11 & EU 178/2002

WinCC/ChangeControl
tracing of changes
It is possible to monitor project changes both with WinCC/Au-
dit and with the more cost-effective WinCC/ChangeControl
option. There are project changes that change the WinCC da-
tabase, such as changes to tag management or the creation of
a user group, and those that are limited to the modification of
files, referred to as document check. The document check cov-
ers process screens, scripts, log layouts, and customer-specific
documents. This means that all these documents or files can
be monitored for changes, intermediate versions can be creat-
ed or restored using a Rollback function. In all, monitoring can
be activated very easily and comprehensively. Plant designers
and operators can use monitoring to quickly and easily retrace
which modifications have been implemented in the plant (for
example, during plant downtimes). This supports the fault
analysis and shortens plant downtimes.
Archiving and restoring projects or project data
With the aid of project versioning,
WinCC projects can be archived, restored and deleted,
all WinCC data, including the project database, project files
(e.g. screens, reports, scripts) and user documents can be
archived and
all activities of the project versioning tool can be recorded.
For engineering, the WinCC/Audit RC or WinCC/ChangeControl
license is needed. On the runtime system, only the low-cost
WinCC/Audit RT license is required.
WinCC/User Archives
management of data sets
The WinCC/User Archives option allows the use of user ar-
chives in which associated data can be stored in the form of
data sets. WinCC and its automation partners (e.g. a
SIMATIC S7 controller) can write these data records and, if re-
quired, exchange them with each other.
For example, an operator can enter parameter sets (the oper-
ating parameters of a machine) in WinCC, store them in the
user archive and forward them to the automation level as
needed. On the other hand, an automation system can contin-
uously acquire production parameters during a shift and send
them to WinCC at the end of the shift. Further application exam-
ples are the acquisition of batch data, the specification of pro-
duction parameters or the administration of storage manage-
ment data.
Simple to configure ...
WinCC user archives are conveniently created in a separate ed-
itor and preallocated with data. Special ActiveX Controls,
which are integrated in the object palette of WinCC Graphics
Designer, are used to display data from the user archives dur-
ing runtime. These controls can also run on the WebNavigator
in an Internet environment.
The coupling of data sets and fields from user archives to the
process is easily done via direct tag connection.
Benefits
Storing and managing of any user data in data sets
Flexible display via WinCC User Archive Control, with
optional table and form view
Easy connecting of data set fields to the process via
direct tag connection
Import/export functions for further processing with
other tools (e.g. Microsoft Excel)
Siemens AG 2012
WinCC/User Archives
management of data sets
... useable in multifaceted ways
Import and export functions support the import and export of
data via external applications (e.g. Excel). Freely selectable fil-
ter criteria allow a clear display of data sets. The view can be
switched between a table view and a form view.
Some project-specific functions can be integrated via freely
definable toolbar buttons.
WinCC provides C functions for freely organizing the data storage
in the user archives that affect archives, data sets and fields.
Thus, you can create, open, close or reset archives and read, write
or overwrite data sets or field contents.
Sequence archives can accommodate batch data, shift produc-
tion data or even product quality data and satisfy legal certifica-
tion obligations by means of gap-free recording.
A license is only required on the server (or single-user system)

WinCC/ODK
Open Development Kit
Would you like to considerably expand the functionality of
WinCC for a sector-specific application? Do you want to inte-
grate your own data in WinCC tools, e.g. the reporting and
logging system? The WinCC options package Open Develop-
ment 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) and
for access via .NET.
The API functions can be used at the following points:
In WinCC, e.g. in global scripts or within the scope of
C actions in the Graphics Designer,
in Windows applications in the C programming language
(as a developer's environment for WinCC, the current ver-
sion of Microsoft Visual C++ is needed)
in Windows applications in the programming language
.NET
API functions are configuration and runtime functions, such
as:
MSRTCreateMsg: Creates a message
DMGetValue: Determines the value of a tag
PDLRTSetProp: Sets the object properties in
a screen
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 tele-
phone hotline.
Benefits
Individual system expansions via an open standard
programming language (C-API/.NET)
Access to data and functions of the WinCC configura-
tion and runtime system

WinCC/IndustrialX Creating customer-specific ActiveX objects
SIMATIC WinCC can already be conveniently configured with
the basic functions. The WinCC/IndustrialX option also simpli-
fies the solution of visualization tasks, because you can stan-
dardize user-specific objects using IndustrialX.
For individual motors, pumps, valves, etc., you do not need
your own display object you simply standardize objects of
the same type. The engineering costs are significant reduced
by the fact that the functions and displays can be used multi-
ple times.
IndustrialX uses ActiveX technology for process visualization.
Configuration wizards support the easy creation of own stan-
dard displays. IndustrialX Controls can be flexibly tailored to
the requirements in different applications, e.g. industry-spe-
cific for applications in the manufacture of chemicals, glass
and paper.
IndustrialX provides code templates for easy linking of cus-
tomer-specific ActiveX Controls to WinCC data sources, which
themselves are suited for use on WebNavigator clients.
Easy and quick to configure
With the IndustrialX Control Designer, you create an
IndustrialX Control for similar process objects, for example for
several motors, which means a special ActiveX Control for the
visualization of these process objects.
The individual fields are linked to the individual data of a data
set, for example, setpoint, actual value, temperature, and op-
erating mode. Once the IndustrialX Control is created, you can
integrate it in screens as often as you like.
For each integration, only the name of the data set is speci-
fied. At runtime, each integration of the IndustrialX Control
then functions automatically with the data of the assigned
data set. With each use of an IndustrialX Control, you save on
the configuration overhead for linking the individual data.
Change centrally
IndustrialX Controls that fre-
quently are already integrated
into the process screens can easily be changed later. Such a
change is made centrally and can affect both the graphic dis-
play and the processing logic. It affects all of the IndustrialX
Controls of this type in all of the already configured process
screens. If, for example, a plant has 47 motors of the same
type and these are visualized in 13 different process screens
with IndustrialX Controls, then the changes are made only
once centrally and they affect all points. This does away with
costly and fault-prone corrections at 47 points.
Fast processing, know-how protected
IndustrialX Controls consist of compiled Visual Basic Code,
which ensures high processing speed. You can protect your
technological expertise that you have invested in the creation
against copying by not giving out the source codes with the ap-
plication.
Benefits
Easy creation using configuration wizards
Quick entry through the use of standards: ActiveX
technology, creating with the aid of Visual Basic
Centrally creating and changing of object displays of
the same type (typing) saves time and money
Configuring intelligent, web-conformant, industry
and technology-specific objects (graphic illustration
and logical processing) with know-how protection
Can be used in versatile ways: in WinCC screens and
other Windows applications (e.g. Internet Explorer,
Excel)

SIMATIC powerrate and B.Data Intelligent energy management
In the face of continuously dwindling energy resources
and rising energy costs, cost reduction by reducing energy
requirements is a must for successful corporate behavior
in the future. The situation is further intensified by in-
creasingly strict legal requirements. SIMATIC WinCC offers
options for a scalable energy management system that in-
cludes all forms of energy, such as electricity, gas, water
and steam.
SIMATIC powerrate Exploiting saving potentials on the
visualization level
SIMATIC powerrate provides transparency for energy con-
sumption from the infeed to the consumer. Energy data is
continuously collected, visualized and archived. Exact knowl-
edge of the consumption profile helps you to detect even
more potential for saving. Monitoring of the actual power
compared to the contractually agreed power limit makes it
possible to turn off or reduce the power of consumers and
thus prevent directly increased power costs when a limit vio-
lation is pending (15 min value).
Acquisition and preparation of energy data
Energy data (counter pulses, counter values, power values or
mean power values) of any PROFIBUS or PROFINET-capable
devices can be recorded with the aid of prepared blocks.
Counter values read manually can be entered directly and thus
be used for further evaluations. From this data, SIMATIC pow-
errate calculates the mean power values and the work values
for a specified period. In addition, a limit forecast is extrapo-
lated for each period.
Displaying energy data
The currently acquired energy data is presented as mean pow-
er values/work values per time interval. A load trend display
enable analysis of archived energy data as well as its represen-
tation in tables.
Further processing of data
The archived data can be exported directly from WinCC to Ex-
cel or different reports can be generated:
Energy trends: Simple representation of the energy demand
of one or several consumers over time.
Batch reports: Representation of the energy demand and the
energy costs with reference to a batch (with start and end
time of batch).
Cost accounts report: Consumption is allocated to different
cost accounts and the costs can be calculated on the basis of
predefined tariffs.
Duration curve (load trend): Evaluation of the frequency with
which a specific mean power value occurred in a specified pe-
riod of time. Based on this characteristic curve, it is easy to rec-
ognize whether there are brief power peaks.
Load management: Power limits agreed in a contract (usually
the 15-minute mean power value for current) must be ob-
served; otherwise, significantly higher power prices or even
penalty payments may become necessary. The load manage-
ment feature of SIMATIC powerrate carries out cyclic trend cal-
culations in order to issue warnings/alarms if violation of the
limit is likely and to switch off or turn down consumers in ac-
cordance with the given configuration should this be re-
quired.
Energy characteristic curves provide transparency
Benefits
Visualized load trends make for easy identification of
energy-intense consumers and processes
Load management helps to prevent load peaks in
order to observe the mean power values agreed upon
Comparison of consumer profiles as foundation for
the optimization of process sequences
Use of existing energy data from field-level devices
(sensors, frequency converters, motor starters or
easy to retrofit measuring devices, such as PAC,
switchgear and protective devices) lowers invest-
ment costs

B.Data Company-wide energy management
An improved energy consumption behavior and optimized
procurement options result in additional saving potentials. To
benefit from them, you need consistent system solutions,
starting with automatic energy data acquisition, through data
preparation, plausibility checks and calculation of key perfor-
mance indicators (KPI), all the way to analysis, accounting and
prediction of the energy demand.
B.Data brings together technical and commercial data pro-
cessing systems to create the basis for economical, optimized
energy management.
Recording and pre-processing of energy and operating
data from upstream systems
B.Data supports current interface standards, such as OPC,
ODBC, ASCII or XML and offers direct interfaces to SICAM230
with automatic configuration adjustment. In the case of man-
ual data input, B.Data supports route planning for the counter
reading operation, including a plausibility check during input.
Management and analysis of energy data
The calculation functions, e.g. heat calculation of boiler plants
or the quality of CHP plants, can be freely modeled. B.Data of-
fers an automatic plausibility check and substitute value cre-
ation as well as a long-term archive with versioning and com-
pression functions. A trend display (Trender) displays current
(online) and historical load trends for a direct comparison of
forecast and actual energy demand.
Energy and material balance
Freely configurable user interfaces are available for a transpar-
ent and usage-based balance of energy flows for different me-
dia, such as current, heat, gas, steam, emissions (e.g. CO
2
).
B.Data supports the calculation of characteristic values (KPIs,
efficiency coefficients, etc.) with direct reference to produc-
tion (batches, quantities, etc.).
Energy accounting (costs and revenue accounting)
The allocation of energy costs to plants, plant areas or cost ac-
counts supports finely-tuned allocation according to the
costs-by-cause principle. The bottom-up (measurement) and
top-down (allocation) procedures are supported here.
Accounting structures can be flexibly modeled. Price evalua-
tion is flexible and takes into consideration historical tariff
models regardless of their complexity. This means that you
can calculate new contract models with different tariff struc-
tures and energy prices with existing actual energy demands
to determine the best possible contract model. Energy
amounts and costs can be directly transferred to an ERP sys-
tem (e.g. SAPR/3).
Energy planning, reporting
Requirement forecasts can be created based on production-
dependent factors (production planning) and basic load pro-
files (typical days). Energy road maps can be created for regis-
tration with energy suppliers.
Transparency of all media by means of powerful graphics functions and a
hierarchical structuring of your plant all the way down to the level of indi-
vidual consumers
Benefits
B.Data
creates company-wide transparency thanks to gap-
free energy and material balancing of power genera-
tion and consumption plants.
allows the development of key performance indica-
tors that enable reliable conclusions to be drawn on
raising the efficiency of energy generation, distribu-
tion and consumption systems.
enables energy costs to be allocated according to the
costs-by-cause principle and permits transfer to the
ERP accounting system (e.g. SAP R/3).
provides planning reliability thanks to production-
related load and demand forecasts.
supports the purchasing department in energy pro-
curement.
