WinCC V7 SCADA system
System overview
The process value archiving serves the compiling, editing and archiving of
process data from an industrial plant.
• In the "Tag Logging" editor (Configuration Studio), you can configure process value archives as well as
compressed archives, define acquisition and archiving cycles and select the process values to be
archived.
• For compression, one of the following functions is applied to the archived process
values in a specified period of time:
• Maximum value (The highest process value is saved in the compressed tag)
• Minimum value (The lowest process value is saved in the compressed tag)
• Average value (The average process value is saved in the compressed tag)
• Weighted average value
(Saves the weighted average value of the process values in the compressed tag.
The time span in which a recorded value has the same value
is considered in the calculation of the weighted average value)
• Sum (The sum of all process values is saved in the compressed tag)
• Difference (Saves the difference between the process values of two archiving cycles in the compressed tag)
• A compressed archive contains the following time stamp, depending
on the archiving function used, when archiving the process value:
• For maximum and minimum values, the time stamp of the respective maximum and minimum value is archived.
• The time stamp of the compression period is archived for average value, sum and difference.

WinCC V7 SCADA system
System overview
"Tag Logging" process value archiving – quality codes of tags in the compressed archive
The quality code of tags are considered in the compressed archive as follows:
• In standard mode, a tag is always archived with its worst quality code.
(The status "Bad" will always be archived in the compressed tag if even just one of the process values has the status "Bad")
• When using weighted quality codes, you can specify for the status of the quality codes the
percentage from which the respective status of the process values is archived in the compressed tag.
(For example, 80% of values must have the status "Good" to be saved as "Good" in the compressed tag)

Calculate and analyze KPIs with the WinCC/Performance Monitor oder PM-ANALYZE
In business economics, "Key Performance Indicators" (KPIs) are parameters
with which the progress or the degree of achievement of important targets or
critical success factors can be measured and/or determined within an organization.
"Good" parts (Address 1)
KPI = quality rate = x 100 • Quality rate = 92%
"Total" parts (Address 2)
Quality rate = (number of parts produced - number of rework parts - number of rejects) / number of parts produced
"Bad" parts
Parts in total
"Good" parts
By recording the deviations from the defined ideal state, the largest sources of
losses can be determined for a plant.
Therefore, reasons for deviations must be detected to achieve a targeted increase in OEE.
Why was 100% of the operating time not reached, or 100% of the products not produced in the specified quality?
Deviations from the ideal condition are demonstrated by means of the system-supported
collection and analysis of KPIs. Optimization measures can be derived from this.

What is Syslog?
The Syslog protocol is a standardized way to transport messages from network devices to a logging server,
typically known as a syslog server. The content can originate from the operating system as well as from
various applications on the devices.

Licensing
During the installation of the licenses, the required license keys are copied to the hard disk of the computer.
The installed software is released for unrestricted use.
WinCC differentiates between RT licenses (Runtime) and RC licenses (Runtime and Configuration) as well
as the number of tags.
• RT licenses
permit the operation of WinCC in runtime for an unlimited period of time.
The editors may only be used in demo mode for a limited period of time.
• RC licenses
permit the operation of WinCC in Runtime for an unlimited period of time and during configuration.
Can be used locally or remotely. If an RC license is located on another computer, it is only valid for configuration. If you want to use Runtime, the RC license
must be available locally or you need an additional RT license.
• RT & RC licenses are categorized according to the number of power tags,
which can be expanded via Powerpacks.
A license for the integrated Microsoft SQL Server with 512 archive tags is part of the WinCC basic software. Via archive Powerpacks, the number of archive
tags can be increased to the maximum configuration of 80 000 tags per server.
• The archive tags contained in the basic package are NOT added up!
• The number of archive tags available is added up (countable licenses). e.g. 1500 + 1500 + 5k = 8000 ..
The number of external tags and archive tags permitted for configuration is indicated by the number in brackets, for example, "WinCC RC (65536)". With this
license you can use up to 64*1024 external tags and up to 512 archive tags in Runtime.
