- PC-based operator control and monitoring system for visualizing and operating processes, production flows, machines and plants in all sectors – from the simple single-user station through to distributed multi-user systems with redundant servers and cross-location solutions with Web clients. WinCC is the information hub for corporation-wide vertical integration.
- The basic system configuration (WinCC basic software) includes industry-standard functions for signaling and acknowledging events, archiving of messages and measured values, logging of all process and configuration data, user administration and visualization.
- The WinCC basic software forms the core of a wide range of different applications. Based on the open programming interfaces, a wide range of WinCC options (from Siemens Industry Automation) and WinCC add-ons have been developed (by Siemens-internal and external partners).
- WinCC can be operated with every PC that meets the given HW requirements. Particularly the SIMATIC Panel PC and SIMATIC Rack PC product range is available for the industrial use of WinCC systems. SIMATIC PCs impress with their powerful PC technology, are designed for round-the-clock operation, and can be operated in both office areas and harsh industrial environments.
- SIMATIC WinCC can be ordered in combination with a SIMATIC IPC (Box/Rack/Panel PC) as SIMATIC HMI Package at a price advantage
- Together with the Panel PC 477B, there are turnkey solutions as WinCC standard client and with the SIMATIC HMI IPC477C as WinCC standard client or single station. (See also packages and HMI IPC477C)
