WinCC flexible/Archives
Archiving process values and messages

Process value and message archiving using WinCC flexible/Archives is for acquiring and processing process data from an industrial plant/machine. Evaluating archived process data then gives you information about the operating status of the plant/machine in the course of the industrial process (production, machining, processing, etc.) In this context, you can document the course of the process; check the rate of utilization or quality of production; or verify repeated error status conditions.

integrated in HMI devices from series 270 upwards and optional for PC-Systems under WinCC flexible Advanced

Benefits:

Early detection of danger and disturbances
Avoidance of down times due to predictive diagnostics
Increased product quality and productivity due to regular evaluation of archives

Trend and alarm displays

To represent and evaluate archived process values, you can use a configurable trend display in your screens.
A cursor line helps you to read off the values. There is also a configurable alarm display for chronologically displaying the acquired messages on the screen.

Archiving and evaluation

You can export acquired process values and messages for long-term archiving either manually or on a process-controlled basis. Depending on the length of the archiving period, you can save the process data in sequence or cyclic archives either as CSV files or in ODBC databases (e.g. Microsoft Access). In this context, the system uses all the archiving media that Windows supports.
