Virtual environment with virtualization

To reduce the administration and maintenance effort, the automation world and thus also WinCC are turning
increasingly to virtualization and the opportunity it provides to decouple applications from hardware in a
professional and highly available manner
This enables centralized management and further simplifies backing up and restoring the system
environment.

SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service facilitates entry into this


future-oriented technology.
You receive the life cycle service required for the virtualization solution,
including the appropriate software and hardware components,
directly from Siemens Industry – from a single source and perfectly coordinated.

Modern graphics system with "Graphics Designer" for configuring process pictures

The "Graphics Designer" effectively supports standardization within operations.

When creating a picture, it is of course possible to use Direct2D (soft shadows)


and to integrate SVG files. The color palette does not work with discrete colors, but with color indices.
This allows customer-specific designs to be easily implemented.

User-specific faceplates (also in WebUX) can be created and managed centrally through block technology.
Changes are automatically made at all usage points. Efficient operation, for example due to application-
specific menus and toolbars that are "fixed" or "movable" as in Windows.

Libraries and wizards greatly facilitate and accelerate the creation of projects
and reduce susceptibility to errors.

Data archiving and analysis of process values


"Tag Logging" process value archiving

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.

Some important functions of "Tag Logging":


• Saving of binary and analog values
• Use of your own cycles for archiving
• Use of aggregate functions to calculate new individual values
• Change and display of manually modified values
• Possible to convert data by means of C script

"Tag Logging" process value archiving methods


Various archiving methods are available for archiving process values. Archive process values that change
relatively quickly without increasing the system load in doing so.

• Cyclical, continuous process value archiving: Continuous process value archiving


e. g. for monitoring a process value
• Cyclical, selective process value archiving: Action-driven, continuous process value archiving
e. g. for monitoring a process value within a specific period of time

"Tag Logging" process value archiving – compressed archive


To reduce the volume of data in the archive database,
the archive tags of a specified period can be compressed

• 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.

"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)
Example

• If more than 10%,


10 QC of the compressed archive are given the value "bad"
15 • If more than 15% and less than 10% "bad",
70 QC of the compressed archive are given the value "uncertain"
• If more than 70% good and less than 15%
"uncertain" and less than 10% "bad",
QC of the compressed archive are given the value "good"

Operator control and monitoring via intranet/Internet

Increase in system availability through server farms with load balancing

• If a great many web operator stations are needed at the same time,
server farms with several web servers can be configured.
• This requires a Load Balancing license for the web servers.
• With load balancing, a compensation of the load is possible
in which newly connected web clients are automatically assigned
to the web server with the currently lowest load.
• The web servers all have access to one and the same WinCC project and
each can have up to 150 web clients assigned.
• If the assigned web server fails, the clients attempt to connect to another
web server in the server farm.

Performance analysis and optimization of production


Key performance indicator (KPI)

An indicator is used for the quantitative, reproducible measurement of a variable or a state.


These indicators are used to determine a defined degree of achievement of
important factors in a plant.
The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) describes, for example, the actual
effectiveness of a machine as compared to the theoretical effectiveness.

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.

Transparent for project changes and manual operator interventions

It is possible to monitor project changes both with WinCC/Audit


and with the more cost-effective WinCC/ChangeControl option.

A distinction is made here between project changes


that change the WinCC database, such as changes to tag management
or the creation of a user group, and those that are limited to the modification of
files, referred to as document check.
This covers process pictures, scripts, report layouts, and customer-specific documents. This means that all
these documents or files can be monitored for changes, intermediate versions can be created or restored
using a roll-back function. Overall, monitoring can be activated extremely simply and in a user-friendly and
integrated way. Plant constructors and operators can use this to discover quickly and easily (for example
during plant downtimes) which modifications have been implemented in the plant. This supports the fault
analysis and ultimately shortens plant downtimes.

System overview

Software has a value

With the purchase of the WinCC software you obtain an unrestricted right to usage of the software.
You are entitled to our warranty, our support and service.

The software is protected against unlawful use. The programs protected in such a manner can run only in
an unrestricted manner when a valid license for the software package has been transferred to the hard
disk of the corresponding computer.

Each installed software requires a valid license for unrestricted operation.


Without a valid license, WinCC software can only be used in demo mode.

When you purchase the basic software package or an option, you obtain license keys in the following
form:
• As storage medium with license keys
• Via the Internet (online software delivery)

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.
