PM-OPEN TCP/IP represents a flexible and cost-effective solution for the connection
of computer systems (MRP, laboratory, logistic and quality management systems,
etc.) and office PCs to the automation and process control levels, offering an
attractive alternative to the complex, specially designed solutions necessary
up till now.

FunctionalityPM-OPEN TCP/IP allows the exchange of tags and messages between WinCC
and one or more computers (peers) with Windows, UNIX, etc. using the TCP/IP protocol.
Another area of application for PM-OPEN TCP/IP is the coupling of several WinCC
stations in order to exchange tags or messages or to collect them centrally.
In addition, PM-OPEN TCP/IP is suitable for use in redundant WinCC configurations.
The integration of “Visual Basic for Applications” (VBA) provides PM-OPEN TCP/IP
with an ideal development platform for the implementation of customized IT solutions. SIMATIC WinCC and PM-OPEN TCP/IP therefore provide a central
information interchange for local and company-wide IT integration, for example the integration of the automation
level in MES or Office applications.
