WinCC flexible/Sm@rtService
Service and Diagnosis via Internet


You can use the WinCC flexible/Sm@rtService option for remote control, diagnostics and maintenance of operator stations on-site via the Internet 
  • Selective, event-driven reporting of errors via e-mail and text messages 
  • Diagnosing operator stations using ready-made diagnostic functions 
  • Service and maintenance functions (downloading projects, downloading/uploading recipes) 
  • Remote control of an on-site station across the Internet with the help of Microsoft's Internet Explorer
 
optional for HMI devices from series 270 upwards, the PROFINET versions of 177 devices and PC-systems under WinCC flexible Advanced
 
  Benefits:
  • Global access of the service and maintenance personnel to machines/plants  
  • Increasing productivity by quickly eliminating disturbances or downtimes
  • Avoiding expensive on-site service callouts
 
 
 
A" typical service situation" could look like this: the local station informs the service staff by e-mail or a text message and the engineer then contacts the station across the Internet and diagnoses the situation. There are a number of standard diagnostic functions available for this including remote control. After this, engineers can make the necessary modifications including even downloading a complete project. 

Apart from this, they have the option of downloading recipes or parameter sets.

Remote control via Internet Explorer
For remote operating and monitoring stations using WinCC flexible, you only need a standard browser.
 

   Even easier does it the Sm@rtClient Viewer that allows you to view not just the selected screen but also the layout of the device on-site, including, for example the membrane panel of a keyboard unit. Using this tool, you can then make inputs to the operator panel in the same way as if you were on-site, with the only difference being that you don't actually press the keys, rather you click on them with your mouse.

You can find a comprehensive compilation of documents, which describe various configurations and samples of  communication solutions in detail inside the information system of our Service and Support
