Siemens Simatic WinCC v7.5

Due to the permanently increasing level of automation and the related complexity of the plants the cost - and time - pressure is increasing because of the international competition. One response to this pressure has to be efficient engineering on the SCADA layer. SIMATIC WinCC supports short Time-to-Market when building new plants and achieves a minimum of downtime when doing plant modifications because of its efficient engineering tools.


Efficient processing of mass data
By the integration of stand-alone editors for alarm logging, tag logging, text library, user administrator, user archive and the acoustic alarm into the Configuration Studio the mass data engineering got again much more efficient.
It is possible to open each single editor separately which makes it very easy to exchange data between these editors. Of course the usual operating functionality of Excel is still valid. When doing project work in a team it is of course possible for multiple project engineers to open the single editors in parallel.

Tags and the optimized communication to the S7 PLCs
Resulting from the integration into the SIMATIC Manager of the S7-300/400 PLCs it is possible to take and align all variable connections as symbols and all AS messages automatically. In combination with the actual S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs the transfer of the AS Symbols out of a connected PLC into the WinCC project is much faster. This reduces the time for the parameterizing of the communication dramatically and that's why the risk of potential faults decreases. It is also possible to automatically take over the AS messages of a S7-1500 into WinCC.
Support of native drivers for PROFIBUS FMS and PROFIBUS DP, Allen Bradley, Modicon and Mitsubishi. With the help of the integrated OPC-client it is also possible to connect to any 3rd- party system.

Ready for worldwide applications
The administration and implementation of the messages for the destination countries is clearly arranged and therefore efficient to manage. The use of UNICODE makes the implementation of global applications very easy. By the utilization of the TextLibrary it is possible to export all (or subsets of the) texts used in WinCC. Vice versa it is of course possible to import all these texts after they are translated to any language.

The appropriate operator language is independent regardless of the language of the installed operating system. Every operator can individually choose the language of the displayed texts. For example it is possible to display messages simultaneously using different languages when working in international teams.

Efficient diagnosis in the engineering using the cross-reference list
Resulting from the integration of the cross-reference editor it is on one hand possible to locate very fast the places where a special variable is used for example in case of troubleshooting. On the other hand it is possible to release non used variables to align the license costs optimal to the actual project.

and much more.
