WinCC engineering software
Maximum configuration efficiency for all HMI applications –
WinCC V11 engineering software in the Totally Integrated Automation Portal
The WinCC engineering software allows integrated config-
uring of all SIMATIC Operator Panels right up to PC-based
visualization workstations.
The integration into the Totally Integrated Automation
Portal results in a clear increase in configuration efficiency
compared to the predecessor product WinCC flexible, par-
ticularly if SIMATIC Controller applications are being oper-
ated and monitored.
Totally Integrated Automation Portal –
Engineering Framework for more efficient engineering
Uniform look and feel
The shared Engineering Framework into which the software
products are integrated standardizes all shared functions –
also in their on-screen representation.
Uniform operation of different editors saves on training costs
and makes it easy for users to concentrate on essentials.
Integrated intelligence
Intelligent editors are context-sensitive and show precisely
what operators require for the task at hand: Functions, prop-
erties, libraries. Split-screen technology makes it possible to
open several editors simultaneously and to exchange data be-
tween them. Data is exchanged using drag and drop.
Maximum data transparency
All data only has to be entered once, even when it is used in
different editors. Transparency is also gained from an object-
oriented approach. Thus, archives and alarms are directly con-
figured with the tags.
The shared database ensures absolute consistency through-
out the entire automation project. This reduces the probability
of error, and compact and transparent projects are created.
Start screen with clear operator prompting
Reusable solutions
Supplied and proprietary program blocks and faceplates, as
well as off-the-shelf modules and devices, are managed in
structured libraries. These blocks can be re-used or centrally
modified at any time – project-wide or for individual ma-
chines. The central modifiability of the blocks ensures consis-
tency.
Blocks or entire projects created with predecessor versions of
the software products integrated into the TIA Portal can also
be reused in the TIA Portal.
Reuse saves on engineering costs and simultaneously increas-
es the quality of the solution.
SIMATIC WinCC – Uniform configuration of all
SIMATIC Operator Panels
SIMATIC WinCC V11 stands for maximum configuration effi-
ciency: Libraries with off-the-shelf objects, re-usable face-
plates, intelligent tools right up to multi-language projects.
WinCC V11 is available in different versions graded according
to price and performance. They are based on each other and
are optimally tailored to the individual classes of operator pan-
el. The larger software package always includes the configura-
tion options of the smaller package. Existing projects can sim-
ply continue to be used after a changeover to a more powerful
SIMATIC HMI operator panel.
Minimizing configuration costs by means of function
block technology
Reusable objects can be centrally stored in a structured format
in libraries. Part of the makeup of WinCC V11 is a large number
of scalable, dynamizable objects from which faceplates can be
compiled.
Changes to the faceplates only have to be performed at one
central location. They then become effective wherever the
faceplate is used. This not only saves time, but also ensures
data consistency.
