WinCC is designed on a non technology-and industry-specific basis, it is modular and you can extend it in a flexible way. WinCC makes possible both demanding single-user applications in mechanical engineering as well as complex multi-user solutions or even distributed systems including several servers and clients - also internet-based - in plant visualization. WinCC combines both production and process automation - numerous references across any number of applications and branches of industry prove this. WinCC has established as an industry standard in the field of process visualization, no matter if you look at it as an autonomous SCADA-System (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) or the HMI component of SIMATIC PCS 7. A large number of WinCC Options and Add-ons allows industry-specific solutions, e.g. in pharmaceutical industry or water treatment applications. Efficient in engineering and during runtime WinCC Engineering SW Enlarge WinCC leaves nothing to be desired when talking about efficiency or user friendliness. Libraries and wizards make the generation of a project fast and easy and reduce error-proneness considerably. As a software for most complex HMI tasks WinCC is able to handle comprehensive projects and mass data. (Configuration Studio, Cross reference Lists,..) Libraries and wizards make creating projects faster and easier while substantially reducing the possibility of errors. User-specific faceplates can be created at a central location and managed with the help of block technology. Changes are automatically implemented at all points of use. Efficient operation is made possible with application-specific menus and toolbars that are "fixed" or "movable" as is customary in Windows. Ready for global use Multilingualism with WinCC Enlarge The engineering system lets you choose from 5 European and 4 Asian languages. Each display language can be easily and efficiently implemented during runtime. UNICODE allows you to change to individual languages at any time, both in the engineering phase and at runtime. Such changes are independent of the language of the WinCC Server and of the language activated on the operating system.
