Performance Increase for the Engineering
WinCC flexible 2007 2007 contains extensive optimizations, which further
increase the performance of the Engineering. The new version, for example,
reduces the generation time of a project by avoiding complete generation runs as
far as possible in favor of a delta compilation.
Furthermore, if there are multiple devices in a project, each one can
be generated separately.
In the integrated mode, WinCC flexible and STEP7 now work even faster, for
example when opening an HMI project from STEP7 or when creating, copying or
deleting an HMI device.
The WinCC flexible setup as well was made faster thanks to an optimized
installation scope. The user now only installs those programs, which he or
she needs for the work with WinCC flexible. |

Central User Administration with SIMATIC LOGON
Another WinCC flexible 2007 innovation is the central user administration
with SIMATIC LOGON for the HMI operator devices and the WinCC flexible Runtime
SIMATIC LOGON meets the requirements of the FDA (Food and Drug
Administration) and therefore is employed in validation-requiring plants.
The plant-wide administration of the users and their access rights takes
place at a central location and is supported by numerous security mechanisms
Additionally, the password assignment in WinCC flexible was expanded by
configurable rules. |

New operator interfaces and Soft-PLC SIMATIC WinAC MP
With the 2007 version, all of the new SIMATIC HMI operator devices can be
configured
- SIMATIC Mobile Panel 277 wireless (via separate Hardware Support Package)
more
- SIMATIC Multi Panel MP377
more
Additionally WinCC flexible 2007 supports the latest version of the Soft PLC SIMATIC WinAC MP for
the
Multi Panels MP 277 and MP 377. The configuration of the employed MP x77 and
WinAC/MP components is carried out with the HW Config in STEP7.
Function expansions for the smaller Panels
| The 2007 version is offering new functions specifically for the
smaller operator devices of the SIMATIC HMI range
- Up to 25 trends can be depicted with the TP 177A / TP 177micro
- Recipes with the corresponding data records can now also be stored on
the integrated flash of the OP 77A / TP 177A
Already familiar functions are now also available with the Panels OP 73 /
73micro / 77A and TP 177A / 177micro.
- Zooming while in simulation mode
- Vector graphics with the line style "arrow" for the TPs
- Font styles "bold" and "italic"
and the property "operability" at animated objects for the TP 177A

New Communication Possibilities
For all Panels with integrated Ethernet interface as well as PCs with WinCC
flexible Runtime, it is now possible to communicate via Ethernet and the
Ethernet/IP driver with the Allen-Bradley PLCs ControlLogix and CompactLogix. In
doing so, the HMI devices support up to 8 connections.
With the PPI advanced driver for the OP 77B, four S7-200 connections via a
PPI network will be possible
