DCC Translation Editor - Translation and maintenance of multi-lingual visualizations
The DCC Translation Editor SIMATIC Edition is the only professional translation tool specializing in the convenient and efficient editing and maintenance of multi-lingual SIMATIC configurations. File export formats from WinCC (TIA Portal) and all other conventional WinCC and WinCC flexible versions can be read in, intuitively edited, translated and then written correctly. Neither the development environment nor Runtime are required for this purpose.
Advantages provided by the DCC Translation Editor: improved quality and considerably reduced workload for multiple languages. Users benefit from the following features:
Easy identification of translation errors, incorrect numbers and missing punctuation marks
with seven quality assurance filtersAssured fit into process visualization due to marking of excessively long translations
Format protection due to complete file handling with translation outside of the configuration
TIA-ready and future-proof due to continuous further development
Support of all configuration languages incl. Chinese, Thai, Russian and Arabic
Secure and efficient workflow
The configuration engineer exports the WinCC texts and messages and gives both the files and the Translation Editor to the translator. The translator translates the WinCC texts in the Translation Editor. Because the interface is shown in a clear table format, operation is simple, efficient and task-oriented.
Thanks to the seven quality assurance filters, the translator can reliably detect common translation errors such as punctuation errors and incorrect numbers, as well as excessively long translations, and can ensure that each term is translated consistently in all pictures.
Translation in the DCC Translation Editor provides a 100% guarantee that the format is safeguarded: the structure and format of the export files remain unchanged. Headers, footers, variables and the source language are protected from deletion. This prevents errors in visualization as well as costly and time-consuming error localization processes.
Even without knowledge of the target language, the configuration engineer can check the delivered translation for completeness, accuracy and quality by means of the quality assurance filters. The translation can then be imported into the visualization project without problems.
Engineers can concentrate on configuring, translators can translate efficiently.

IEC 61850 Communication channel - Enabling data exchange with IEC 61850 devices
IEC 61850 is the globally valid standard for communication in electrical protective systems and medium-voltage switchgear.
All leading manufacturers have therefore already implemented IEC 61850 in their control and protective equipment. The open standard means simpler configuration, compatibility with future expansions, lower maintenance costs, and thus lower life cycle costs.
The communication channel makes it possible to operate and monitor IEC 61850-enabled devices with WinCC. This means the automation of a production plant can be expanded by the addition of support for IEC 61850 devices for the electrical system
Benefits
Simple integration of high-voltage and medium-voltage level electrical devices into the SIMATIC HMI world
A SIMATIC system for production plants and electrical systems
Security of investment thanks to globally valid IEC 61850 standard
Powerful communication
Simple configuration and expandability
- Configuration
The wizard included in the scope of delivery is used to configure data communication via IEC 61850 with an IED (intelligent electric device). It provides the option of importing the .icd configuration file of the device. Alternatively, the wizard can also access the device online and upload the current configuration. The tags and alarms selected by the user are then transferred to the WinCC data management system. - Communication
The IEC 61850 communication channel is an IEC 61850 MMS client. It establishes a connection to each of the configured IEC 61850 MMS server devices. This enables read/write data communication with the devices. Buffered reports continue to be supported: Status changes reported by the device are inserted with time stamp in the WinCC alarm logging system. - Diagnostics
The accompanying values for measured values of the control and protective equipment, such as quality codes, are transferred in the same way as diagnostics information on the connection status of each device. This ensures detailed communication diagnostics are available.
- Functionality
The communication channel enables data exchange with IEC 61850 devices. The station controller or the SICAM PAS solution package is available for automation tasks or for connecting devices and control centers.

as well as icons for WinCC and WinCC flexible
The function library SmartLib is a cross-sector library; it is used,for example, for configuring automation and process control systems in the process industry, HVAC, pharmaceuticals and energysectors.
SmartLib was developed for the target systems of WinCC and WinCC flexible in combination with S7-300 or S7-400 controllers.
The library contains all the control functions demanded in the process industry and in building management systems. Smart-Lib supports the alarm processing of the systems by transferring the alarms complete with real time stamps. Operator interventions are entered in the alarm system with previous value, new value and user name.
Users can adapt the screen icons to their requirements. The library contains function blocks for the S7 controllers, and the faceplates and icons for WinCC and WinCC flexible (option).
Licenses are required in accordance with the number of programmable controllers or operator panels (for WinCC flexible only). There are no limits to its use within WinCC.
