Analysis of Alarm and Process data
Process alarms, status and operation messages from various sources contain plenty of information which sometimes only becomes visible with computer-aided analysis methods.
PM-ANALYZE does not only allow the display of messages and alarms from various sources. With its comfortable filtering and analysis capabilities it also provides an optimal overview even with large numbers of alarms. Analysis results can be directly transfered into Microsoft Excel for even further processing with standard office productivity tools.
By combining and centrally archiving alarms from PCS7, WinCC, WinCCflexible, WinCC V11/12, the Microsoft Windows event log and further arbitrary sources via text import PM-ANALYZE can reveal complex correlations.
Analysis capabilities:
The frequency analysis finds the most frequent alarms. By grouping the results freely even over multiple columns the results can be easily broken down e.g. by alarm source. This extends the functionality of a classical top x analysis towards a more technological oriented top x analysis.
The flickering analysis identifies alarms that are occurring in bursts within short time frames. With this analysis methods those burst packages can be accurately spotted with an adjustable threshold.
The volume analysis splits the alarms in an configurable timeframe into multiple smaller sub intervals in order to locate clusters that occur in specific timeframes. E.g. a complete month can be split in single days to see if there are increased alarm counts on specific days.
Filtering:
Complex filters can be stored either individually for each user or globally for all users in the filter library. Saved filters can be instantly applied later on.
Hierarchical filters with up to 4 levels allow spotting of relevant alarms quickly and easily. The applicable filter criterions used by PM-ANALYZE are automatically calculated from the underlying database.
The integrated quick search instantly reduces the displayed alarm list to matching entries

Reference: SIMATIC SCADA solution for modern paint shop
For BIRN, maintaining systems has been a daily business for more than 100 years – but when the company developed its concept for an ideal SCADA solution for the new paint shop in Holstebro, Denmark, the team wanted to make a significant leap forward. The main objectives were the provision of optimum support to the operation and maintenance teams, an efficient engineering framework, and low total cost of ownership.
Recipe- / Product- Data Management, Job Control
Manufacturing specifications, recipes and parameter sets are used for providing production set points in all kinds of industries and must be managed, monitored for changes in an powerful database and also be clearly displayed to ensure operational quality. Production orders are created based on these set points in order to provide plan able shop floor operation.
PM-CONTROL offers a flexible parameter control system for that purpose with UI components that can be seamlessly integrated into the WinCC operator screens. Set points can be transferred to WinCC, PCS7, WinCC flexible, WinCC (TIA Portal) and also via OPC/DA even if a recipe contains set points for multiple of the above targets in combination.
The recording of recipe changes in an audit trail and the support of electronic signatures make PM-CONTROL the ideal solution in the regulated industry.
The integrated, centralized engineering library PM-LIBRARY allows the exchange and reuse of already configured components in multiple projects.
The latest product extensions like e.g. the graphical planning chart for the display of production orders, the rule based checking and calculation of recipe parameters and the possibility to even create a complete custom recipe editor are consequently following the trend to provide more ease of use, overview and flexibility.
Graphical order planning chart:
he planning chart control that can be easily integrated into operator screens displays the approximate processing time of all scheduled production orders over all utilized production units at a glance.
The relevant time frame can be controlled from the surrounding process screen ensuring that only the relevant planning horizon is shown. Irrelevant if that means displaying a day, a week, a month or only the next hour.
Rule based checking and calculation of recipe parameters:
With an increasing number of required recipe parameters the relationships and dependencies between set point can sometimes no longer be expressed with simple upper/lower limits. Sometimes multiple set points are correlated and must therefore be checked in combination. PM-CONTROL allows the definition of validation rules that e.g. the sum of a defined set of parameters does not exceed a specific threshold.
Parameter values may be calculated dependant from current values in production e.g. in order to compensate variations in specific properties of raw materials. Also influences that are originating from the production process like e.g. wear effects of tools can be taken into account at the point in time when the recipe is designed.
Custom recipe editors:
Several use cases require the display of parameter sets in a way that is more tailored towards displaying an real world image of a machine instead of displaying a tabular list of parameters.
PM-CONTROL allows the creation of custom recipe editors with the standard WinCC graphical editors by providing an API set that allows the design of almost every recipe editor UI imaginable.

Job- /Batch- related Archiving and Logging
The acquisition, processing and archiving of batch-/job-oriented data like trends, alarms, set points and production set points and current values, Audit Trails and laboratory values as part of a comprehensive quality management system are the primary application domain of PM-QUALITY.
Data from various sources ranging from WinCC, PCS7, WinCC flexible, WinCC (TIA Portal) over OPC/DA and text import can be combined into meaningful reports and long term archived .
Whether seamlessly integrated into the WinCC operator screens or as a standalone office application, PM-QUALITY provides the required transparency.
The trends display that can also show data from several batches in comparison is combined with the overlay of additional information like alarms, event triggered readings, process phase transitions and annotations forming a full blown analysis tool with perfect usability.
Reports are always available at a glance when needed. The integrated report layout editor allows the creation of multiple different views over archived information that can be easily adapted to existing design guides.
The integrated, centralized engineering library PM-LIBRARY allows the exchange and reuse of already configured components in multiple projects.
The processing of readings with graphical calculation rules, the integration of day, week, month and shift protocols with the integrated shift calendar as well as the new reporting capabilities using Microsoft Excel are consequent and continuous extensions of the proven functionality of PM-QUALITY.
Graphical calculation rules:
By using graphical calculation schemas complex algorithms can be displayed in a easily comprehensive way. Calculation results can be archived in relation to a currently active batch. Statistical functions like integral, standard deviation etc. as well as more complex functions like time categorization are provided out of the box and can be graphically arranged and connected via drag and drop. The provided set of calculation blocks is fully extensible in arbitrary way due to the open system architecture.
Day-, week-, month- and shift protocols:
What has been already been possible by using scripting in WinCC has now been integrated into the standard system. By using configurable naming rules the archiving time frames for PM-QUALITY can be defined in a comfortable way.
The integrated shift calendar with a graphical shift view provides an optimal overview.
Reporting with Microsoft Excel:
By plug-ins that are integrated into the ribbon based UI of Microsoft Excel (starting from Version 2007) reports can be created even more comfortable as ever before.
The first of the two new tools supports the creation of classical batch reports directly from within Microsoft Excel. Data can be retrieved from the current PM-QUALITY runtime database as well as from a long term archive export database.
Furthermore, a totally new type of insight into production can be generated by the multiple batch analysis tool. E.g. it allows the extraction of specific batch readings from all batches within a configured time frame that can be further analyzed directly in the spreadsheet.

Exporting Process data
PM-OPEN EXPORT offers a flexible and economical solution for exporting process data and archive data from SIMATIC WinCC into freely designed, independent text files (ASCII, CSV format as well as HTML and XML format, etc.).
PM-OPEN EXPORT can export to any local or shared network storage media. Text files in HTML format allow an information system to be built up on the basis of Internet/Intranet.
PM-OPEN EXPORT runs in the background after configuration, i.e. the process data and archive data is transferred automatically to text files without the user s intervention. Data export can be initiated cyclically, time-controlled or event-controlled. Additionally the data export can be initiated manually.
A decisive advantage is the flexible and individual design of the target file. This can include, for example, static text and timestamps in addition to the exported data
PM-OPEN EXPORT is suitable for use in redundant WinCC configurations.

Importing process data
On SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels or systems with WinCC RT Advanced (TIA Portal) process data (tags and messages) and operator messages are archived locally as CSV formatted logs. By using PM-OPEN IMPORT these archived data can be transferred into a central WinCC* system, where the data is safely stored in chronological order for a long time period. The original timestamps are preserved by the import. As soon as the data is imported, the standard controls can be used to display and evaluate the data.
*WinCC V7, PCS7, WinCC RT Professional (TIA-Portal)
Together with PM-OPEN IMPORT, SIMATIC meets the requirements for a secure, central and long-term archiving of relevant data throughout the entire automation landscape (from panels close to the machine up to a central SCADA system) as defined in the FDA regulations or in EU regulation 178/2002.
PM-OPEN IMPORT allows the import of the following data types into the WinCC System:
Import of WinCC Comfort / WinCC RT Advanced Data Logs
Data from CSV-formatted Data Logs is imported into the WinCC Tag Logging or into the WinCC RT Professional Archives and can be displayed as trends or tables by using the standard controls.
Import of WinCC Comfort / WinCC RT Advanced Alarm Logs
Data from CSV-formatted Alarm Logs is imported into the WinCC Alarm Logging or into the WinCC RT Professional Messages and can be displayed as tables by using the standard control.
Import of WinCC Comfort / WinCC RT Advanced Audit Trails
Data form CSV-formatted Audit Logs is imported into the WinCC Alarm Logging or into the WinCC RT Professional Messages and can be displayed like WinCC operator messages in the standard control. The operator messages include the blocks “Username”, “Comment” and if applicable “Tag name”, „Old Value“ and „New value“.

PM-OPEN TCP/IP - Online-Computer Link via TCP/IP
PM-OPEN TCP/IP represents a flexible and cost-effective solution for the connection of computer systems (MRP, laboratory, logistic and quality management systems, etc.) and office PCs to the automation and process control levels, offering an attractive alternative to the complex, specially designed solutions necessary up till now.
PM-OPEN TCP/IP allows the exchange of tags and messages between WinCC and one or more computers (peers) with Windows, UNIX, etc. using the TCP/IP protocol. Another area of application for PM-OPEN TCP/IP is the coupling of several WinCC stations in order to exchange tags or messages or to collect them centrally. In addition, PM-OPEN TCP/IP is suitable for use in redundant WinCC configurations.
The integration of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) provides PM-OPEN TCP/IP with an ideal development platform for the implementation of customized IT solutions. SIMATIC WinCC and PM-OPEN TCP/IP therefore provide a central information interchange for local and company-wide IT integration, for example the integration of the automation level in MES or Office applications.

Alarm Interface to the SIMATIC IT Historian
Using the SIMATIC IT Historian for longterm archiving of alarms, very often requires to import alarms from different WinCC or WinCC flexible systems. With the WinCC Add-on Historian CONNECT ALARM different datasources can be connected.
Functionality
Connecting WinCC systems
Different WinCC stations can be the source for the alarms. Historian CONNECT ALARM supports both, WinCC Version 5 and WinCC Version 6. An Agent is installed on the WinCC system. This agent captures the alarms and sends them to the Alarm interface via TCP/IP. The alarm columns in WinCC can be freely assigned to the columns in the SIMATIC IT Alarm filter.
Connecting WinCC flexible systems
Many WinCC flexible systems are able to store their alarms in a CSV-file based archive. The CSV-files are copied, e.g. cyclically or at batch end, to the PC of the Alarm Interface using an ethernet network. The alarm interface reads the alarms from the files and inserts them into the SIMATIC IT Historian. The alarm columns in WinCC flexible can be freely assigned to the columns in the SIMATIC IT Alarm filter.

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

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.

Translation and maintenance of multi-lingual visualizations
The DCC Translation Editor 4.2 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) V11, V12 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.
