SIMATIC WinCC is designed for visualization and operation of processes, production flows, machines and plants. With its powerful process interface, especially to the SIMATIC family, and the secure data archiving, WinCC enables highly available solutions for the process control.
The sector-neutral basic system enables universal usage in all automation applications. Sector-specific solutions can, for example, be implemented using WinCC options (e.g. FDA options for the pharmaceutical industry) and sector-specific add-ons (e.g. for the water industry).

SIMATIC WinCC is available as a complete package and as a runtime package with 128, 512, 2 048, 8 192, 65 536, 102 400, 153 600, 262 144 PowerTags. PowerTags are data points that are connected to controllers or other data sources over a WinCC channel. Up to 32 alarms can be obtained from one data point. Moreover, internal tags without coupling are available for additional system performance. In addition WinCC also contains 512 archive tags. Additional archive licenses can be obtained for larger quantity structures.
The system software with the required number of PowerTags and additionally the option WinCC/Server must be installed on the WinCC server. In the basic configuration, one RT Client License is sufficient for the WinCC Clients 1). An RC Client License is required to configure on clients 1). Remote configuration is possible if WinCC Clients without their own project (Uni Client) are configured on the server project.
1) The SQL Server Express is installed for RT / RC Clients.

The powerful configuration functions of SIMATIC WinCC contribute to a reduced engineering and training overhead and lead to a more flexible use of personnel and greater operational reliability.
Anyone familiar with Microsoft Windows can also operate the WinCC Explorer, the central switching point of WinCC. Even large quantities of data can be processed intuitively and efficiently with the WinCC Configuration Studio.
In combination with other SIMATIC components, the system is also equipped with auxiliary functions, such as process diagnostics and maintenance. All SIMATIC engineering tools work together in the configuration of the functions.
SIMATIC WinCC offers a complete basic functionality for process visualization and operation. To this end WinCC has a number of editors and interfaces that can be used to individually configure this functionality according to the respective application. Expansions of a WinCC station for control tasks are also possible with minimal engineering effort.
| WinCC editors | Task or configurable runtime functionality |
|---|---|
| WinCC Explorer | Central project management for the quick access to all project data and central settings |
| WinCC Graphics Designer | Graphics system for user-defined visualization and operation via pixel-graphic objects |
| WinCC Configuration Studio | Alarm LoggingSignaling system for detecting and archiving events with display and control options based on DIN 19235; freely selectable message classes, message display and loggingWinCC Tag LoggingProcess archiving for the acquisition, compression and storage of measured values, e.g. presentation in trend and table format as well as further processingWinCC User AdministratorFor managing users and authorizations |
| WinCC Report Designer | Reporting and logging system for time and event-controlled documentation of messages, operator inputs and current process data in the form of user reports or project documentation in an arbitrary layout |
| WinCC Global Script | Processing functions with limitless functionality by means of the use of VBScript and ANSI-C |
| Task or configurable runtime functionality | |
|---|---|
| Communication channels | Communication with lower-level controls (SIMATIC protocols, PROFIBUS DP and OPC server included in scope of supply) |
| Standard interfaces | Facilitate the open integration of other Windows applications via WinCC, WinCC-OLE-DB, ActiveX, OLE, OPC etc. |
| Programming interfaces | For the individual access to data and functions of WinCC and for the integration in user programs with VBA, VB Script, C-API (ODK), C-Script (ANSI-C) |

WinCC is based on Microsoft technology, which ensures openness and integration capability. ActiveX and .net controls facilitate technology-specific and industry-specific expansions. Cross-manufacturer communication is also possible since WinCC can be used as an OPC client and server in addition to accessing current process values and supporting standards such as OPC HDA (Historical Data Access), OPC Alarm & Events, OPC XML Data Access, and OPC UA.
Just as important: Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is available for user-specific expansions in engineering, and Visual Basic Scripting (VBS) as an easy-to-learn, open, runtime language. If desired, professional application developers can also use ANSI-C. The Open Development Kit (ODK) simplifies access to the API programming interfaces.
WinCC integrates a powerful and scalable archiving feature using database technology This provides the user with a variety of options: from high-performance archiving of current process data, to long-term archiving with high data compression, through to a connection to the central information hub in the form of a company-wide Process Historian. Versatile clients and tools for evaluation, the open interfaces, and special options (Connectivity Pack, Connectivity Station, IndustrialDataBridge) provide the basis for effective IT and business integration.
WinCC offers various security mechanisms, such as encrypted communication, to ensure secure operation of the plant. If external networks are accessed, for example, suitable protective measures (incl. IT security measures, such as network segmentation) should still also be taken.

WinCC is an open process visualization system and provides the option to connect the most diverse control systems.
Approved communication software
Use communication software with the listed product versions. Corresponding SIMATIC NET upgrades are available for upgrading older versions.
Number of connectable controllers
For the number of controllers which can be connected via Industrial Ethernet CP 1613, the following applies to a message frame length of 512 bytes:
| Type of connection | Number of nodes |
| SIMATIC S5 Ethernet Layer 4 + TCP/IP | Up to 60 |
| SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite | Up to 64 |
| SIMATIC 505 Ethernet Layer 4 + TCP/IP | Up to 60 |
| SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 Channel | Up to 128 |
Via PROFIBUS, a maximum of 8 controllers can be connected with CP 5612, and a maximum of 44 controllers with CP 5613. Industrial Ethernet is recommended when 10 or more controllers are used.
Mixed operation with different controllers
With their multi-protocol stack, the CP 1613 and CP 5613 communication processors enable the parallel operation of two protocols, such as for the mixed operation of different controllers, via a single bus cable. WinCC supports the operation of two similar interface boards only in connection with the channels SIMATIC S5 Ethernet Layer 4 (2 x CP 1613), SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite (2 x CP 1613, 2 x CP 5613) as well as PROFIBUS DP (4 x CP 5613; max. 122 slaves for each CP 5613). In addition to communication via Industrial Ethernet CP 1613 or PROFIBUS CP 5613, one CP 5612/5622 can be used in each case for communication with SIMATIC S7 via MPI.
Client-server communication
Communication between the clients and the server is via TCP/IP protocol. Setting up a separate PC LAN is recommended. For small projects with a correspondingly low incidence of message frames, SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet communication can be used for both process communication (WinCC/server ↔ PLC) and PC-PC communication (WinCC/client ↔ WinCC/server).
Channel DLL PROFIBUS DP
In accordance with the PROFIBUS standard, DP/slaves are always permanently assigned to a DP master; i.e. a second WinCC station (DP/master) cannot access the same controllers (DP/slaves). This means that redundant operation of two WinCC stations is not possible using the PROFIBUS DP connection.
Connection to controllers from other manufacturers:
If a native driver is not available, OPC or OPC UA is available for connection to third-party controllers.
Current notes and information about OPC servers from various suppliers can be found at:

If the customer fails for whatever reason to take delivery of the goods on the due date the Company will be entitled to store the goods and then risk in the goods will pass to the customer, delivery will be deemed to have taken place and the customer will pay all costs and expenses including storage and insurance charges arising from its failure.
Notwithstanding delivery, all goods supplied by us will remain our absolute property until you pay in full for them and for all other goods previously supplied by us. You will store the goods in such a way that they are readily identifiable as our property, but you may, as trustees for us, sell them to a third party in the normal course of your business. Upon any sale by you of the goods (either alone or with other items) all rights which you have against the buyer shall automatically vest in us. We shall be entitled immediately after giving notice of our intention to repossess, to enter upon any premises with such transport as may be necessary and repossess any goods to which we have title under this clause.
It is your responsibility to determine that the goods are sufficient and suitable for the purpose to which they are to be put. We cannot accept any responsibility either in respect of the installation of any goods or as to the ultimate performance of any product in which the goods may be installed. We shall in no way be liable for any direct or consequential damage, loss or expense arising from any defect or inefficiency caused by the manner in which the goods are used.
All goods supplied by us are manufactured by others. Accordingly, we shall pass on to you the benefit of the warranty, if any, given by the manufacturer of the goods. Our liability under this clause shall be in lieu of any warranty or condition implied by law as to the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of the goods, and we shall not be under any liability, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, in respect of any defects in goods delivered or for any injury, damage or loss resulting from such defects or from anything done or omitted in connection with the goods or from any work done in connection therewith.
In no circumstances may goods supplied against a firm order be returned without our prior written consent and the receipt of your advice note stating the reason for return and date and number of our invoice. All goods returned must be securely packed and consigned carriage paid. In all cases we reserve the right to make a handling charge, and the issue of our goods received note will not bind us to issue any credit in respect of the goods.
We may, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies determine the contract or any unfulfilled part of it or withhold further deliveries or make partial deliveries if: (a) You fail to make payment on the due date under this or any other contract between us. (b) You purport to cancel or suspend, or commit any breach of this or any other contract between us. (c) You become insolvent, or make any composition with your creditors or have a receiver appointed of all or any part of your undertaking or assets or go into liquidation (save for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction) and we shall be entitled to recover from you all our loss including any loss of profit or loss on resale.
Any failure by us to enforce any of all these Conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any of our rights hereunder.
