WinCC flexible/Sm@rtAccess
Innovative HMI-concepts

The WinCC flexible/Sm@rtAccess option makes available simple client/server mechanisms for PROFINET versions of 177devices, Series 270/370 Panels and Multi Panels and for PCs with WinCC flexible Runtime building the basis for innovative concepts in HMI and automation tasks.
  
 
 

optional for HMI devices from series 270 upwards, the PROFINET versions of 177 devices and PC-systems under WinCC flexible Advanced
 
  Innovative Concepts 
  • Local operator stations with plant-wide access to variables, e.g. networking stand-alone production cells
  • Distributed operator stations for operating large, physically distributed machines
  • Local control room solutions with options for central archiving, analysis and further-processing of process data
  • Link to the Office world
  
 
Networking standalone production cells

Plant-wide read and write access to tags makes it possible, for example, to easily exchange data between what were originally standalone sections of a production system (i.e. automation units).

Distributed operator stations

Operating large, physically distributed plant and machinery is made much easier, since you can use WinCC flexible to configure distributed operator stations such that operators can carry out exclusive operating and monitoring from different locations – and all this with just one configuration

Local control room solutions

Cross-plant access to tags and screens even allows you to set up favorably priced, local control room solutions. In this connection, you can display at a higher level head station (client) important process values from the local operator stations (servers) and if required, make operator inputs to them on a central basis. If you use a PC for the head station, this yields additional options for archiving, analyzing and further-processing the acquired process data.

Link to the Office world

It is also possible to exchange data using tags between WinCC flexible and Office applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel) using an appropriate (Excel) script. In this way, you can use a standard tool to carry out analyses and statistical calculations and, if necessary, to derive specifications for optimizing production.
