WinCC/Industrial Data Bridge – connection CMS & RCMS to other databases

WinCC/Industrial Data Bridge uses standard interfaces to link the automation level (controls) from CMS & RCMS stations to the IT world and to ensure a flow of information in both directions. Systems from different manufacturers can be integrated by using a variety of standard interfaces (e.g., OPC, OLE‑DB, SQL). The easy configuration (without programming) saves time and prevents errors. The integration into the CMS/WinCC system and its user administration as well as the alternative use as system service ensure the security of the transmission.

• Connection of CMS & RCMS/WinCC to databases and IT systems
• Support of standard interfaces (such as OPC, SQL, ODBC, OLE‑DB, Office formats) means there is no restriction to specific vendors
• High‑performance, bidirectional data exchange between CMS/RCMS stations and different systems
• Runtime administration of data connections in CMS Application/ WinCC (also via Web) or via independent application running as system service
• Visualization of information on HTML‑pages
• Fast and reliable due to configuration instead of programming (errors are prevented)
