SIMATIC HMI Software – so much more than visualization software

For simple applications with a limited quantity scale, the price-performance ratio is important in addition to fast and intuitive operation. Basic HMI is recommended here. The devices can be easily configured with the WinCC Basic Engineering Software, a budget priced subset of WinCC in the TIA Portal HMI. Of course, you can also use the more powerful versions of WinCC ES (TIA Portal). With SIMATIC HMI operator devices, the runtime software is on-board and, depending on the equipment hardware, this gives you different HMI functions and performance profiles.

If you are looking for a panel-based solution for more challenging applications with larger quantity scales, decide for Advanced HMI. As a user, you will benefit from excellent functionality and a wide range of devices and applications, with a choice of key or touch operation. Both a stationary and a mobile solution are available. The panels can be conveniently configured with WinCC Comfort (or higher), with a runtime module pre-installed on the device.

If production places particularly high demands on the quantity and type of information that must be processed and documented, a PC-based system is recommended. It offers the appropriate options for sufficient storage space, processing power, and data connectivity. Use WinCC Advanced (TIA Portal) Engineering Software and the separate Runtime Software Package WinCC Advanced (TIA Portal) Runtime for PC-based machine level HMI.

Our SIMATIC HMI software includes SIMATIC WinCC Professional. It is a SCADA system perfectly integrated into the TIA Portal,  which best prepares you for the requirements related to the digitalization of production processes. The PC-based operating and monitoring system can be scaled flexibly: from simple single-user station to multi-user systems and cross-location solutions with web clients. The functionality of the system functionality can be expanded and tailored to your operator control needs with the options for WinCC RT Professional, overarching SCADA options and WinCC add-ons.

Our SIMATIC WinCC V7 SCADA software is an innovative, scalable system for process visualization with numerous high-performance functions for monitoring automated processes. Whether single-user or distributed multi-user system with redundant servers, you benefit from an open SCADA system for visualization of processes, SCADA applications with redundant solutions and vertical integration through to plant intelligence solutions. The functionality of the system can be expanded and tailored exactly to your needs with the options for SIMATIC WinCC V7, SIMATIC WinCC add-ons and the overarching SCADA options.

SIMATIC SCADA Systems and SIMATIC Industrial PCs together form a high-performance and reliable platform for data acquisition, evaluation and visualization. The harmonized, certified SIMATIC HMI hardware and software package offers the highest quality in all industries.

Very large and/or complex applications, special system requirements and functions, globally distributed systems, or even higher-level, cross-system and cross-site control centers: with SIMATIC WinCC OA, you can build vendor and platform-independent SCADA systems. The scalable remote control software solutions enable unrestricted, worldwide access via the web – including native iOS and Android user interfaces.
