::::::English Description::::::

The WinCC/DataMonitor is an important component for plant intelligence applications in combination with the process visualization system WinCC.
The DataMonitor is used for the display, analysis, interpretation and distribution of current process states and historical data from the process database. With the DataMonitor, WinCC process data can thus be made available to all functional levels in the enterprise via the Web.

Powerful tools for the depiction and interpretation of current process states and historical data (measured values, messages, user data) from the process database enable the production to be efficiently monitored and analyzed as well as reports to be created and distributed to the appropriate persons.
For the display, a DataMonitor client can be set up on any office PC. The data provider - a WinCC/Web Navigator server or a WinCC/DataMonitor server - is installable on any WinCC single-user system, WinCC server or WinCC client.

The DataMonitor and its tools
For visualization and analyzing the WinCC/DataMonitor comprises several internet capable tools that support all common security features like Login/Password, firewalls and encrypting procedures.

• Process Screens
  Purely for monitoring purposes of WinCC process screens
• Trends & Alarms
  Display and analysis of archived process values and alarms in trends or tabular form
• Excel Workbooks
  Display of archived process values in an Excel table for the analysis and storage on the Web or as print template for reports
• Published Reports
  Generation of time-controlled or event-controlled reports in Excel format or as Portable Data File (PDF)
• WebCenter
  Central information portal for the access to WinCC data via user-specific views, clearly arranged Web-Center pages due to user-groups with individual rights for reading, writing or creating web-center pages.

Process screens
The function Process Screens is used purely for monitoring purposes and for the navigation across WinCC process screens with the MS Internet Explorer as a so-called viewonly client with an adjustable cursor.In doing so, the WinCC/DataMonitor employs the same mechanisms as the WinCC/Web Navigator, e.g. for the communication, the user administration, the display of screens.
