ETM Professional - Version SIMATIC WinCC -Open Architecture SCADA System

Efficiency

From user guidance to the authorization system, from the alarm concept to system integration, the whole system is a well thought-out and coherent structure.
The native 64 Bit support allows access to more memory and to take advantage of high performance hardware.

Openness

The open concept of SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture allows integration of a wide variety of components. From the automation level right up to operation and management level, the system allows finely tuned solutions. SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture is platform independent and available for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

Scalability

Modern systems are subject to constant change and new demands. SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture is adaptable and grows with the necessary extensions, without coming up against limits. SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture scales to requirements - from the small single-site system for machine operation to the networked, redundant high-end system.

Innovation

SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture employs cutting-edge development concepts. End-to-end object orientation sets news standards in process visualization systems.

Most modern design concepts are used at Simatic WinCC Open Architecture. The continuous object oriented technology sets new standards in SCADA systems. The open concept permits the integration of most different components. Specific solutions from the automation level up to the operating control and management level are provided.

Object oriented technology

The engineering process of WinCC Open Architecture customers is changed by the object-oriented properties and their consistent, careful utilisation.

• Engineering costs savings of up to 70 %
• High degree of standardisation
• Changed course of project from planning to start-up
• Staff qualifications can be deployed selectively
• Greater convenience for project engineer and user

Manager concept

• Event-Manager (EV) -the heart of a WinCC Open Architecture system
• Driver-Manager (D) -processes are linked via any number of drivers
• Data- Manager (DB) -stores process changes in a high-speed database
• Control-Manager (CTRL) -is a dedicated runtime environment that processes programs written in the Control programming language on an event-driven, multitasking basis
• User Interface-Manger (UI) -takes care of graphical display of process states

Other managers are available for special tasks (redundancy, distribution manager for distributed systems, web server, reporting, DDE, simulation, etc.)

Client-server architecture

• Multi-user and multitasking system
• Modular architecture based on functional units, the Managers
• Communication between the individual processes is based on TCP/IP
• Functions and loads can be distributed across multiple computers
• It is possible to mix operating system platforms (e.g. Linux) within a system
• Completely event-oriented, telegram-based communication
• Remote client terminals can be linked up by modem

Being equipped with the standard HMI functionalities such as alarming, trending, reporting and remote maintenance, WinCC Open Architecture offers further specific functions such as archiving of historical data, multilingualism and distributed systems. Communication with the basic automation is achieved through comprehensive drivers and flexible connectivity.

• Alarm handling
• Trending
• Reporting
• Archiving
• Multilingual projects
• Remote Maintenance
• Distributed systems
• Communication
• Multitouch

WinCC Open Architecture relies consistently on object orientation for process images and the database structure. This enables efficient and simple mass engineering and swift creation of projects with a number of parallel developments. Systematic and considered use of the object oriented characteristics results in a change to the engineering process. In comparison with conventional methods, savings of up to 70% can often be made on engineering costs.
