Siemens Introduces SIMATIC WinCC flexible Single HMI Configuration Software for Text Displays through PCs
With over 1.2 million systems deployed, Siemens is the largest HMI vendor in the world. To maintain the position as market leader, Siemens has introduced a new HMI Configuration environment to provide the most capable suite of tools to meet their customers increasing demands. The latest offering in the HMI product family, SIMATIC WinCC flexible focuses on delivering state-of-the-art configuration tools for the most demanding applications.New levels of configuration efficiencyThe most significant controllable cost in automation systems are engineering costs. In the area of human machine interface, time spent developing concise, intuitive interfaces can be significant but worthwhile in increasing operator efficiency and accuracy. WinCC flexible offers a new paradigm in HMI configuration, with
An intuitive user interface
Sophisticated, reusable display objects
Intelligent tools for creating dynamic objects and display hierarchies
Auto-text translation for multilingual configurationsWeb-enabled service and diagnosticsYou can use the WinCC flexible / Sm@rtService option for remote control, diagnostics and maintenance of operator stations on-site via the Internet. This eases maintenance and support for both the end user and OEM.
Built-in diagnostic functions which can be interrogated over the Internet
Event-driven reporting of errors via e-mail and text messages
Update projects / recipes and retrieve archives
Remote control of a remote HMI from any browser-enabled PCLocal operator stations enabled for plant-wide connectivityApplications created with WinCC flexible /Sm@rtAccess option are scalable from the local machine panel plant-wide integration of information.
Local operator stations with plant-wide access to variables (e.g., networking stand-alone production cells)
Distributed operator stations for operating large, physically distributed machines
Local control room solutions with options for central archiving, analysis and further-processing of process data
Link to the business world Deployable on a scalable range of HMI platformsAny application created using WinCC flexible can be deployed on the widest range of HMI platforms from Siemens. Your engineering investment in developing HMI systems is protected as the needs of your application grow.
