SIMATIC Process Historian
Description
SIMATIC Process Historian provides high-performance long-term archiving functionality for perfect integration into the SCADA System WinCC: Process data and messages can be written to central archives in real-time mode, without additional engineering efforts.
SIMATIC Process Historian replaces the previous WinCC/CentralArchiveServer option.
Benefits
- Configuration directly in Process Historian Configurator without additional know-how
- Scalable at any time without production downtime
- Real-time archiving of process values and alarms
- Global long-term archive for any number of WinCC systems
- Data can be migrated to or retrieved from external memory media
Design and function
Real-time, central archiving of company data facilitates fast decision making on the basis of secured data for increased productivity and reduction of costs.
SIMATIC Process Historian is scalable. The data is acquired from any WinCC Station and archived in real-time. There are no restrictions with regard to the number of WinCC subsystems (single-station systems, or redundant servers) or data quantities (tags, alarms). This facilitates fast decision making on the basis of secured data and represents the first step towards the increase of productivity.
Thanks to its seamless integration in WinCC, as well as redundant configurations, SIMATIC Process Historian meets ultimate security demands at minimum administrative expenditure. You may always implement system expansions without interrupting production.
Security information
To ensure the secure operation of a plant or machine it is also necessary to take suitable preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and to integrate the automation and drive components into a state-of-the-art holistic industrial security concept for the entire plant or machine. Any third-party products that may be in use must also be taken into account.
SIMATIC Information Server
Description
SIMATIC Information Server supports the creation of target group-oriented reports and analyses of historical WinCC data on the basis of Microsoft Reporting Services.
The reports created are always available on Web-based user interfaces.
Benefits
Simple reporting and management using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services- Transparent access to and linking of historical WinCC data
(WinCC Archive and SIMATIC Process Historian) - Cyclic activation based on demands or events
- Web-based administration and provision
- Transparent data access thanks to integration in MS Word, MS Excel and MS Powerpoint
- Automatic report distribution by email
- Being informed anytime– from everywhere :looking at web-based reports and analyses also using mobile devices
Design and functions
Using SIMATIC Information Server, you are always provided with comprehensive data that is tailored to suit you requirements. You can create report templates based on global system data for specific target groups, without specific programming knowledge. The transparent access to all archived production values provides you with all necessary task-related system parameters (management, quality assurance, maintenance). Weak points are disclosed and necessary optimization measures can be derived quickly and efficiently to increase plant productivity and availability.
The integrated reporting system is based on the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services and provides interactive reporting services in the form of Web-based analyses. Integration in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint also lets you access history data using the tools you know from the Office environment.
