Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA): Increase of productivity, minimization of engineering overhead, reduction of lifecycle costs
Modular expansion with options such as:
WinAC MP for MP 277/software PLC
WinCC flexible/Sm@rtAccess for communication between different SIMATIC HMI systems
WinCC flexible/Sm@rtService for remote maintenance and servicing of machines/plants via the Internet/intranet
WinCC flexible/OPC Server for communication with applications from different manufacturers
Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer (already included in scope of delivery)
IE6 for Win CE is integrated for WinCC flexible 2007 or higher.
WinCC flexible/ProAgent for selective and fast process fault diagnostics in systems and machines
WinCC flexible/Audit for user management (tracing and user operations)
Reduction of service and commissioning costs due to:
Backup/restore via Ethernet (TCP/IP), USB, MPI, PROFIBUS DP or optionally via SD/Multimedia Card
Remote download/upload of the configuration and firmware (remote = automatic transfer recognition)
Specific drivers can be reloaded
Long service life of the backlit display
Graphics library available with off-the-shelf picture objects
Can be used worldwide:
32 languages can be configured (incl. Asian and Cyrillic character sets)
Up to 16 languages can be selected online
Standard hardware and software interfaces for increasing flexibility:
SD/MultimediaCard slot for memory expansions, backup/restore, or additional interfaces
Ethernet (TCP/IP) for central data and project management Ethernet; control link possible to SIMATIC S7
Standard Windows storage formats (CSV) for archives and recipes permits further processing using standard tools (e.g. MS Excel)
