lmplement on a flexible basis,
safe investment and future proof
WinCC flexible is designed on a non-industry specific basis and it offers
Engineering Software for SIMATIC HMI operator control and monitoring devices
from the smallest Micro Panel up to PCs as well as Runtime
Visualization Software for single-user solutions under Windows XP
and Vista. In
this connection, you can transfer projects to different HMI platforms and
run them there without needing to convert the projects.
Connectivity to SIMATIC S7 via PPI, MPI, PROFIBUS-DP and Industrial
Ethernet, to SIMOTION and SINUMERIK plus multi-protocol drivers for controllers made by leading
manufacturers and manufacturer-independent communication via OPC ensure that
you always have the right connection for a wide variety of automation
solutions.
WinCC flexible supports PROFINET, the innovative standard for
industrial communication from field level to plant management
level. Time-critical inputs via direct keys or a handwheel on the
HMI devices can be performed in real time via PROFINET IO.
The multilingual engineering software that you can switch at the push
of a button; the option of creating projects with up to 32 languages at the
same time - 16 (depending on employed device) of which you can switch online
are excellent reasons for using WinCC flexible on a worldwide basis.
Web-based service concepts that exporting OEMs and large multinational
companies can utilize to promote their business globally.
Highest configuration efficiency
The WinCC
flexible engineering software is based on the latest software
technologies, it supports five languages (plus 4 Asian languages in the ASIA
version) and it offers in addition to a simple user interface the
configuring engineers
- Libraries with ready-made objects and reusable screen blocks
- Intelligent tools to easily create projects, for graphic configuring
of a screen hierarchy and of motion paths, as well as for configuring
bulk data
- Support for multilingual configurations with automated
text-translation

Traceability and easy validation
WinCC flexible‘s Audit
und ChangeControl
options offer high levels of support to mechanical and plant engineers that
must meet strict quality requirements with regard both to the products to be
manufactured and to the manufacturing process. SIMATIC Logon enhances the
WinCC flexible user administration by integrating it in a
plant-wide central user management.
- User-friendly configuration of GMP-relevant functions (Good
Manufacturing Practice)
- Recording of operator inputs in Audit Trails with an electronic
signature and comment
- Versioning and change tracking of projects
- Easy fulfillment of the legal requirements for traceability according
to EU 178/2002 and 21 CFR Part 11

Innovative HMI- and Automation concepts
Using the WinCC
flexible/Sm@rtAccess option operator stations have access to each
others' tags and screens. This yields innovative TCP/IP communication-based
concepts for the HMI and automation tasks that you have to solve, e.g. by
employing the SIMATIC THIN CLIENT operator stations.
- Operator stations with cross-plant access to current process values
and screens
- 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 Office applications)

Web enabled Service and Diagnostics
The WinCC
flexible/Sm@rtService option offers the functionality for
innovative service concepts:
- Event-driven sending of e-mail and text messages to the service
staff
- Remote control of on-site stations across the
Intranet/Internet
- Diagnosing operator stations using ready-made diagnostic
functions and screens
- Service and maintenance functions (downloading projects,
downloading/uploading recipes)
