Functionality
- Connecting WinCC systems
Different WinCC stations can be the source for the alarms. Historian
CONNECT ALARM supports both, WinCC Version 5 and WinCC Version 6. An
Agent is installed on the WinCC system. This agent captures the alarms
and sends them to the Alarm interface via TCP/IP. The alarm columns in
WinCC can be freely assigned to the columns in the SIMATIC IT Alarm
filter.
- Connecting WinCC flexible systems
Many WinCC flexible systems are able to store their alarms in a CSV-file
based archive. The CSV-files are copied, e.g. cyclically or at batch
end, to the PC of the Alarm Interface using an ethernet network. The
alarm interface reads the alarms from the files and inserts them into
the SIMATIC IT Historian. The alarm columns in WinCC flexible can be
freely assigned to the columns in the SIMATIC IT Alarm filter.
