SIMATIC SCADA Systems

The data volume in modern industrial plants is growing continuously – and along with it the challenges faced by the SCADA solutions used: Enormous data volumes must be administered and archived for the long term. This is accompanied by increasing demands on performance. Technologies, including some from the consumer environment, are finding their way into industry. Globalization calls for higher-level SCADA systems that can be used worldwide – and the need for mobile access to plant information is also growing. On top of all these requirements – in these times of ever increasing (energy) costs – is the need to improve energy efficiency and productivity.

With SIMATIC SCADA systems, you are fit for the future

Efficiency

Efficiency: As a key to greater productivity, SIMATIC SCADA systems combine efficient engineering with high-performance archiving and maximum data security. These features provide the basis for efficient operations management and intelligent production analyses.

Scalability

We offer stationary and mobile solutions to cover increasing demands – security guaranteed. In this area, we apply more than 15 years of SCADA know-how from all industry sectors. No matter how large or small your request is – we have the right answer.

Innovation

Stay informed with mobile SCADA solutions anywhere and at any time – including with existing tablet and smartphone hardware. The use of multi-touch gestures in the industrial environment opens the door for modern operating concepts.

Openness

Due to the support of international standards and system-internal script and programming interfaces, special requests can also be easily implemented.

SIMATIC WinCC V7 SCADA system

The process visualization or SCADA system for visualizing and operating processes, production flows, machines and plants in all sectors – from the simple single-user station through to distributed multi-user systems with redundant servers and cross-location solutions with web clients. WinCC is the information hub for company-wide, vertical integration (process visualization and platform for IT & business integration).

• All HMI functions on-board with industry-standard functions for signaling and acknowledging events, archiving of messages and measured values, logging of all process and configuration data, user administration and visualization (WinCC basic software).
• Company-wide, flexible client/server structures with operator stations on the web, distributed servers and data integrity thanks to redundancy
• Easy to integrate over standard interfaces such as OPC (OLE for Process Control), WinCC OLE-DB, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), VB script, C-API (ODK)
• Integration platform in the company thanks to the Historian functionality integrated into WinCC based on the Microsoft SQL Server, standard and programming interfaces and tools and clients for evaluation
• Modular expansion with options and add-ons as well as individual functional expansions with VB Script, Visual Basic for Applications, C-API (ODK) and integration of ActiveX elements.

SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture SCADA system

The SCADA system SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture addresses applications with high demand for customer-specific adaptations, large and/or complex applications, as well as projects that demand special system requirements and functions.

SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture demonstrates its high
performance in networked and redundant high-end control systems in particular. From the field level to the control station, from the machine to the company headquarters – integrated, high-performance communication is ensured. In every situation, a high level of availability, reliable information, fast interaction and user friendliness are guaranteed. Applications can also be changed without interrupting the process. Profitability, efficiency and safety are therefore always in equilibrium.

With its disaster recovery system and SIL3 certification, SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture demonstrates its reliability in a wide range of critical applications. SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture can be used on any platform and is available for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture is open for independent in-house developments, which means that ideas can be turned into new applications quickly and easily.

• Object-orientation supports efficient engineering and flexible plant expansion
• For large, distributed systems with up to 2048 servers
• Scalable – from a small single-user system up to a networked, redundant high-end system
• WinCC OA can be used on any platform, and is available for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android
• Hot-standby redundancy and disaster recovery system assure maximum fail-safety and availability
• WinCC OA offers a platform for customer-specific solutions
• Extensive driver and interfacing options: S7, SINAUT, OPC, OPC UA, Modbus, IEC 60870-5-101/104, DNP3, BACnet, and many others.
• Flexible logging of data either in file-based value archive or in a relational database (ORACLE)
• Modular expansion is possible using options and add-ons as well as individual functional expansions by means of own script language CONTROL, API (C++) and integration of ActiveX elements
