Over Ethernet (TCP/IP) to a higher-level PC, network printer
Multi-protocol capability
OPC XML Server (optionally with "WinCC flexible /OPC server")
http communication with other SIMATIC HMI systems (optional with "WinCC flexible/Sm@rtAccess")
SINUMERIK (optionally with "SINUMERIK HMI copy license WinCC flexible CE"; "SINUMERIK HMI engineering package WinCC flexible" is additionally required for configuration)
Note:
Further information can be found under "System interfaces".
Configuration
Configuration is implemented using the SIMATIC WinCC flexible Standard or Advanced engineering software (see HMI software/SIMATIC WinCC flexible engineering software).
Projects created using ProTool can be migrated to WinCC flexible.
Applications/options
WinCC flexible /ProAgent Precise and rapid process fault diagnostics in plants and machines for SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC HMI (see HMI software/SIMATIC ProAgent process fault diagnostics software)
WinAC MP software PLC for Multi Panels
Peripherals can be connected via Profibus DP.
WinCC flexible /Sm@rtAccess; remote control and monitoring as well as communication between different SIMATIC HMI systems (see HMI software/Runtime software SIMATIC WinCC flexible/WinCC flexible RT options)
WinCC flexible /Sm@rtService; remove maintenance and servicing for machines/plants via the Internet/intranet (see HMI software/Runtime software SIMATIC WinCC flexible/WinCC flexible RT options)
