- 11. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 11 SIMATIC Manager Configuration • SIMATIC Manager project hosts redundant WinCC 7 project • After development of the project, initial download to EACH server • Load online changes simultaneously to both servers* *Section 1.7.9.3 of “SIMATIC HMI WinCC V7.4 - Working with WinCC” specifies Online Loading limitations • Check out DMC’s blog on full redundancy setup! • https://www.dmcinfo.com/latest- thinking/blog/id/9725/redundancy-in-wincc- process-historian-connection
- 13. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 13 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – Screen Hierarchy Plant OverviewLevel 1 Operational DisplayLevel 2 Station DisplayLevel 3 Detailed DisplayLevel 4 • Standardized screen hierarchy for similar operation across all sites • Improve familiarity of the site for plant managers and operators alike • Facilitated operator training on the software side
- 14. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 14 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – Color Palette • Create a custom Color Palette to easily save color selections across projects • These palettes can be exported and imported into other projects
- 15. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 15 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features - Faceplates • Reusable graphic elements • Steps: • Create the faceplate graphics • Configure the faceplate type • Expose faceplate tags and object properties • Drag and drop instances into your project • Characteristics: • Interface with the existing graphics on the screen (ex. piping) • Tie each tag & set each property individually
- 16. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 16 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – Picture Windows • Reusable graphic windows • Steps: • Create the PW graphics • Tie the tags without a tag prefix • Ex. “iValvePos_Actual” • Add PWs into your project • Set the PW name & tag prefix • Ex. “Filter1.” or “Filter1_” • Characteristics: • Auto-populate all elements by specifying only the tag prefix • All aspects of screens open to PWs
- 17. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 17 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – Structure Tags • Reusable tag elements • Steps: • Create the structure tag type • Add the structure type elements • Specify data type & internal vs external • Create structure tag instances • Address the structure tag elements • Note: • Use with non-optimized, direct addressing only • Not for optimized S7 blocks or OPC UA • Standardize these on the PLC side
- 18. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 18 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – VBA Macros Automated code generation for rapid development
- 19. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 19 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – WebNavigator Configurator • Particular setup: Server A is the WebNav server • Rather than redundant WebNav server • Server A - Web Config • Set IP address and port • WebClient.asp Server A
- 20. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 20 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – WebNavigator Publisher • Particular setup: Server A is the WebNav server • Rather than redundant WebNav server • Engineering Station – Web View Publish • Work through Publishing Wizard • Publish the screens on the ES • WebNav Server gets updated on project download Engineering Station
- 21. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 21 WinCC 7 Multi-site Features – WebNavigator Users • Create the WebNav user for accessing the site remotely • Select the appropriate authorizations • If just monitoring, select “Web Access – Monitoring only”
- 22. Unrestricted © Siemens Industry, Inc. 2019 Page 22 WinCC 7 Configuration – Redundancy • Activate Redundancy • Select the standby server (enter or browse) as the redundant partner • The Engineering Station should automatically populate the Server field. Don’t worry- this is correct. • Configure the optional settings according to your preferences
