The WinCC DataMonitor is used for displaying and evaluating current process states and historical data on office PCs using standard tools such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Excel. The DataMonitor Client is supported by a web server with current and historic process data and alarms. All staff ranging from machine operators to corporate managers can use the DataMonitor to obtain information. In combination with WinCC V7 and with the aid of the multiclient architecture, access can be made to several lower-level WinCC stations.
DataMonitor is a suite of Internet-capable tools:
Process Screens Tool exclusively for monitoring and navigating via WinCC or WinCC Runtime Professional screens using the WinCC Web Viewer (WinCCViewer RT) in the "view only" mode
Excel Workbooks Logging tool that integrates WinCC or WinCC Runtime Professional Archive and online values into Microsoft Excel and supports online analysis
Published Reports Event- or time-driven execution of Excel or PDF reports for the output of process data and analysis results.
WebCenter Individual configuration of Internet pages and compilation of information within a portal.
DataMonitor does not require manual client installation because it loads the required components from the DataMonitor server
There is no installation required on the client for the WebCenter, Trends and Alarms functions.
