System interfaces with WinCC (TIA Portal)
WinCC Runtime Communication
Communication – SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional
WinCC Professional is an open process visualization system and
offers the option of connecting the most diverse control systems.
Released communication software
Only communication software with the listed (or higher) product
versions should be used. Corresponding SIMATIC NET up-
grades are available for the upgrading of older versions.
Number of connectable controllers
With CP 1613/CP 1623, a maximum of 64 S7 controllers can
be connected via Industrial Ethernet; with CP 5612/CP 5622 a
maximum of 8, and with CP 5613 A3 a maximum of 44 S7
controllers can be connected via PROFIBUS. With approx. 10 or
more controllers, the use of Industrial Ethernet is recommended.
Client-server communication
Communication between the clients and the server is
implemented using the TCP/IP protocol. The construction of a
separate PC-LAN is recommended. For small projects with
correspondingly small message frame advent, a SIMATIC NET
Industrial Ethernet can be used for both process communication
(WinCC/server
PLC) and for PC-PC communication
(WinCC/client
WinCC/server)
Connection to third-party controllers
The following "Coupling overview" table lists third-party protocols
and controllers which are directly supported by WinCC Profes-
sional. Generally it is also possible to connect third-party control-
lers via OPC (OLE for Process Control).
Current notes and information about OPC servers from many
different suppliers can be found at:
WinCC Professional supports the standards:
•
OPC Data Access 2.05a
•
OPC Data Access 3.00
•
OPC UA Data Access 1.01
•
OPC XML Data Access 1.00
•
OPC HDA 1.20
•
OPC A&E 1.10

Application note:
Parallel use of the OPC client channel allows, for example, connection to an SNMP OPC Server for visualization of the data present there.
The SNMP OPC Server enables monitoring of any network components (e.g. switches) that support the SNMP protocol.
Further information can be found under SIMATIC NET communications systems/SNMP OPC Server.
