ShutDown WinCC
Minimum plant downtime with maximum data security
If your SIMATIC operator stations crash because of a power failure, data loss is usually inevitable. Unnecessarily long plant downtimes result. In combination with a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) ShutDown WinCC allows SIMATIC WinCC operator stations to be closed and shut down in a controlled way if the power supply fails, thus reducing plant downtimes to a minimum.
 
 
Functional description

In combination with a UPS, ShutDown WinCC allows the WinCC runtime environment to be shut down in a controlled way and the complete project to be closed properly. SIMATIC WinCC itself merely provides the option of shutting down the WinCC runtime environment manually. Automatic, system compatible shutdowns - an essential prerequisite of using a UPS - are not supported in WinCC.

The shutdown sequence can be influenced by means of various call settings. ShutDown WinCC lets you

  • close WinCC Runtime and quit WinCC projects
  • shut down operator stations
  • shut down operator stations and log out users
  • automatically restart operator stations

The software solution interacts with any standard UPS, providing the normal UPS software allows you to start certain programs automatically if a power failure is detected.

Benefits

  • In combination with a UPS, it allows the SCADA system to be shut down safely in case of a power failure
  • Consequential damage, such as data loss in the SIMATIC WinCC system, is effec-tively avoided
  • Downtimes due to power failures are reduced to a minimum
