Benefits
|
Powerful tools for the depiction and interpretation of current process states
and historical data (measured values, messages, user data) from the process
database enable the production to be efficiently monitored and analyzed as well
as reports to be created and distributed to the appropriate persons.
For the display, a DataMonitor client can be set up on any office PC. The data
provider - a WinCC/Web Navigator server or a WinCC/DataMonitor server - is
installable on any WinCC single-user system, WinCC server or WinCC client.
The DataMonitor and its tools
For visualization and analyzing the WinCC/DataMonitor comprises several internet
capable tools that support all common security features like Login/Password,
firewalls and encrypting procedures.
Process screens
The function Process Screens is used purely for monitoring purposes and for the
navigation across WinCC process screens with the MS Internet Explorer as a
so-called "viewonly client" with an
adjustable cursor.In doing so, the WinCC/DataMonitor employs the same
mechanisms as the WinCC/Web Navigator, e.g. for the communication, the user
administration, the display of screens.
Trends and Alarms
Trends and Alarms is a tool for displaying and analyzing archived WinCC process
values and alarms. A predefined page already contains the displays for the
process value table, the corresponding trends, the alarm table and the alarm hit
list with the associated operator functions. Also included are the statistics
functions from WinCC for process value patterns and alarms (e.g. average,
standard deviation, variance). Tables only have to be linked with the desired
WinCC archive data (measured values or alarms). Chosen data can also be exported
to a CSV file and be processed further at a later time (e.g. compression)
| Excel Workbooks The Excel Workbooks are a reporting tool for the display of alarms and current or archived process values in an Excel table. The data can then be analyzed via Excel functions and also be graphically formatted and summarized in a report. Once Excel workbooks have been created, they can be published and made available to the Intranet/Internet, or be used as templates for reports to be automatically generated. Reports can also be generated offline and stored locally as a customer specific analysis. |

Published Reports
Published Reports automatically generate print jobs from WinCC reports and
prepared Excel workbooks. The reports are started time-controlled (e.g. at the
end of a shift) or event-controlled (e.g. upon the change of a WinCC tag) and
can be distributed by e-mail.
Reports created by Excel are saved as XLS fi le. The corresponding fi le created
by the WinCC Report Designer is stored in PDF format. and can be further
processed and analyzed afterwards..

WebCenter
The WebCenter is the central information portal for the access to WinCC data via
the Intranet or Internet.
Here, users with corresponding user rights can compile WinCC process data,
alarms and process screens for any number of screen views for various groups of
persons. By means of these views, WinCC data can be compared,
analyzed, interpreted and if necessary also exported over absolute or relative
time periods. When analyzing historical data, the connection or disconnection of
swapped archives is possible via commands.
In a WebCenter page, the user can configure and save own screen views made from
WebParts. WebParts are process value tables, trends, statistics displays,
timesteps (for the clear depiction of precompressed values), and alarm tables
(incl. hit list), as well as a display for graphics, links, and favorites. WinCC
process screens can be integrated into the WebCenter without installation work
using the WebPart Process Screens.
This allows various information from the plant to be generated in an
understandable form for different user groups, corresponding to the function
areas of a company, e.g for Quality Assurance (e.g. tables and trend diagrams
with operating figures), the plant operator (e.g. pie charts with piece
counters) or the service personnel (e.g. trends with temperature
characteristics).

Selectable licensing
The licensing takes place sever-based, i.e. is made at the Web Navigator server
or DataMonitor server. Depending on the selected license, the DataMonitor
software package for the DataMonitor server contains either 1, 3, 10, 25 or 50
client licenses. The number of client licenses denotes the maximum number of
clients that can be active at the same time, whereas in principle, any number of
clients can be connected. For upgrading the number of simultaneously active
clients, Powerpacks are offered.
Experience Plant Intelligence Functionality live via Internet by direct
access to the DataMonitor WebCenter of our WinCC Demo Project.
You can visit existing WebCenter pages and eveb create new ones out of WebParts
without having to install additional software.
