SIMATIC SCADA systems
The data volume in modern industrial plants is growing continu-
ously – and along with it the challenges faced by the SCADA
solutions used: Enormous data volumes must be administered
and archived for the long term. This is accompanied by increas-
ing demands on performance. Technologies, including some
from the consumer environment, are finding their way into indus-
try. Globalization calls for higher-level SCADA systems that can
be used worldwide – and the need for mobile access to plant
information is also growing. On top of all these requirements – in
times of ever increasing (energy) costs – is the need to improve
energy efficiency and productivity.
With SIMATIC SCADA systems, you are fit for the future
Efficiency
As a key to greater productivity, SIMATIC SCADA systems com-
bine efficient engineering with high-performance archiving and
maximum data security. These features provide the basis for
efficient operations management and intelligent production
analyses.
Scalability
We offer stationary and mobile solutions to cover increasing
demands – security guaranteed. In this area, we apply more
than 15 years of SCADA know-how from all industrial sectors. No
matter how big or small your requests are – we have the right
answer.
Innovation
Keep up-to-date with mobile SCADA solutions anywhere and at
any time – including with existing tablet and smartphone hard-
ware. The use of multi-touch gestures in the industrial environ-
ment opens the door for modern operating concepts.
Openness
Due to the support of international standards and system-
internal script and programming interfaces, special requests
can also be easily implemented.
SIMATIC WinCC SCADA system
The SCADA system SIMATIC WinCC is the process visualization
or SCADA system for visualizing and operating processes, pro-
duction flows, machines and plants in all industries – from the
simple single-user station through to distributed multi-user sys-
tems with redundant servers and cross-site solutions with web
clients.
WinCC acts as an information hub for company-wide vertical in-
tegration (process visualization and platform for IT and business
integration).
•
All HMI functions on-board with industry-standard functions
for signaling and acknowledging events, archiving of mes-
sages and measured values, logging of all process and
configuration data, user administration and visualization
(WinCC basic software)
•
Universally scalable client/server structures with operator
stations on the Web, distributed servers and data integrity
thanks to redundancy
•
Easy to integrate over standard interfaces such as OPC
(OLE for Process Control), WinCC OLE-DB, VBA (Visual Basic
for Applications), VB Script, C-API (ODK)
•
Integration platform in the company due to the Historian
functionality integrated into WinCC based on the Microsoft
SQL Server, standard and programming interfaces and tools
and clients for evaluation
•
Modular expansion with options and add-ons as well as
individual functional expansions with VB Script, Visual Basic
for Applications, C-API (ODK) and integration of ActiveX
elements
