WinCC/PerformanceMonitor

WinCC/PerformanceMonitor
Analysis and optimization of production on the basis of individual performance indicators 

The WinCC/PerformanceMonitor facilitates flexible calculation and powerful analysis of plant-specific key performance indicators (KPIs). The indicators provide the basis for deriving optimization potential, thus enabling productivity enhancement. 

They relate to individual machine groups, plant sections or production lines. The elements to be monitored are designated as equipment. Indicators are calculated based on operands which are derived from already configured WinCC tags. By combining them with associated values, more accurate production correlations can be highlighted, such as quality/supplier dependencies.
The calculation formulas used are quick and simple to create in WinCC.  

Analysis of the indicators and their operands can be carried out in the WinCC system at any time. Indicators, along with their associated values if required, can be clearly displayed in bar graphs, allowing easy comparison. In addition, the input values of each performance indicator can be shown via an integrated analysis function (drill-down). The Gantt chart illustrates the chronological sequence of the operands. The table display lists the archived values, allowing subsequent correction if required. Performance indicators calculated online, either cyclically or triggered by a tag, can be written to WinCC tags for further processing in WinCC, and display in WinCC images, for example.

The PerformanceMonitor can be combined with the Web Navigator for distribution on the internet, and with the Information Server for reporting purposes. Integration into WinCC ensures fast configuration and complete transparency across all machine and plant data as a basis for optimizing plant productivity.

• The WinCC/PerformanceMonitor can be installed on a WinCC stand-alone system, WinCC server or WinCC client project (WinCC RT client license), and consists of an engineering client as well as a runtime user interface.
• The WinCC/PerformanceMonitor provides ActiveX control elements for embedding in WinCC images.
  • PerformanceControl: Bar graphs for displaying performance indicators in relation to context values, showing the operands for cause analysis in each case.
  • Gantt chart: Chronological sequence of time-based operands
  • TableControl: Tabular listing of operands with post correction option.
• With the help of the integrated configuration environment, operands are calculated (based on tags) which can be used to calculate key statistics at the set evaluation time.
• For analysis via intra- or Internet, the controls of the WinCC/PerformanceMonitor are available when using the WinCC/WebNavigator.
• The SIMATIC Information Server can be used for generating plant-specific, Web-based reports (predefined and expandable).
• The archived values (operands, context) form the foundation for the analysis and are one-by-one licensing relevant on an additive basis.
• The basic package comprises a configuration environment, runtime controls (bars, Gantt, tables) and a license for archiving 30 values. The logged values (operands, context) form the basis of the analysis.
• If more values are to be logged, the number of archive values can be increased in steps of 30, 100, 300 or 1 000.
