Option for SIMATIC WinCC, which permits the configuration of a powerful client/server system.
One of the following operating systems must be available to install the option on the server:
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1,
Windows Server 2012 R2,
Windows 7 SP1,
Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
A maximum of 3 clients can be connected when using the non-server operating systems Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
A number of coordinated HMI stations can be operated in a single group with networked automation systems
Client/server solution:
Client without its own project ("UNI-Client"): One (redundant) server can supply up to 64 clients with process and archive data, messages, images and reports. The clients act as display and operating stations for the project on the server.
Client with its own project ("MULTI-Client"): One client can simultaneously access up to 18 (redundant) servers. These servers make the data and images available. This data can be collectively processed and displayed in the client project in order, for example, to implement a system overview across several servers. In this case, one server can supply data to as many as 50 clients.
Requirement: Network connection (TCP/IP) between the server PC and the connected clients
