June 28, 2016 - The mobile user interface from Simatic WinCC Open Architecture is a native client for iOS and Android devices which offers the same possibilities and functionality as a standard client. With the definition of optional device classes stating the width, height and orientation of the different displays, optimum depiction on mobile devices is guaranteed. To support the design of a process image, a template corresponding to the width and height of the device class is displayed.
Mobile devices are managed and administered at the WinCC OA Server. Project data is automatically distributed through the WinCC OA server, enabling integrated engineering completely without the need for programming. To guarantee secure communication, the mobile UI can also communicate using SSL encryption.
A demo application is available to allow users to quickly and easily get started with the app.
The app is available for free in the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store. The operating systems iOS 8 (or higher) and Android KitKat 4.4 (or higher) are supported.
