SIMOCRANE CMS Crane Management System
Additional components
Connectivity Pack – sending data via OPC interfaces from CMS and RCMS to other systems
WinCC has as standard an integrated OPC DA 3.0 server (Data
Access) that gives you access to all the online values in the
SIMOCRANE CMS/RCMS system and, on the other hand, can as
a client read data from another application - across the Web too.
The WinCC/Connectivity Pack offers additional options for al-
ready existed SIMOCRANE CMS & RCMS stations.
This means that the system can transfer pre-processed process
and production data of a crane to higher level systems for infor-
mation conditioning (e.g. Manufacturing Execution Systems,
Enterprise Resource Planning systems or office packages,
e.g. Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, etc.) and TOS systems.

Simple IT and business integration by means of standard
interface from
SIMOCRANE CMS & RCMS stations
•
Access to online and historical data from any computers you
like via standard interfaces (OPC XML DA, OPC HDA, OPC
A&E, WinCC OLE-DB)
•
Further processing or analysis of data on CMS/RCMS stations
using separate tools is also possible

Access to messages and historical data from CMS and RCMS
via OPC/WinCC OLE-DB
The WinCC/Connectivity Pack includes the OPC HDA 1.1 (His-
torical Data Access) and OPC A&E 1.0 (Alarm & Events) servers
for accessing historical data of the WinCC archive system or for
transferring/acknowledging messages. As an OPC XML DA 1.0
server, WinCC can even send data on a cross-platform basis ac-
ross the Web to PPS/MES systems; in the opposite direction, it
can take OPC XML DA client order or recipe data. As an HDA
server WinCC makes available historical data from the WinCC
archive system to other applications. The OPC client (e.g. a re-
porting tool) can specify the start and end times of a time interval
and thus selectively request the data to be transferred. Apart
from this, the client can request already conditioned data from
the HDA server, i.e. actively trigger data compression before the
data is transferred. The OPC HDA server can also be used in re-
dundant configurations.
