Visualization with SIMATIC WinCC Unified (TIA Portal)

Why visualization with SIMATIC WinCC Unified?

SIMATIC WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) is the efficient engineering software for Panel-, Edge-, and PC-based HMI & SCADA applications and available in scalable editions:

WinCC Unified Basic ES
WinCC Unified Comfort ES
WinCC Unified PC ES
Powerpacks, upgrades and updates

Larger editions, such as WinCC Unified PC ES, always offers the additional possibilities of configuring the target devices of smaller editions (e.g. HMI Unified Comfort Panels).

WinCC Unified engineering includes the configuration of available options and offers full simulation support of the configured runtime systems without existing (Panel) hardware.

Modular Automation
Compared to traditional automation, modular automation enables flexible manufacturing by allowing a production line to be divided into mobile modules and reconfigured quickly. This modular design makes it easier to meet different requirements.
Module Type Package (MTP) standard as modularization enabler
When operating a modularly structured plant, the integration of process units from different manufacturers often involves a great deal of effort and problems, especially due to the use of different communication protocols and interfaces.
Standardization is the key to open and flexible automation and plant concepts. This is where MTP comes into play. Module Type Package (MTP) is a formal description of the interfaces and functions of the automation technology of a modular process unit. MTP is standardized in the VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 guideline and enables manufacturer-independent integration of process units into a higher process control level. In the standard, a process unit is referred to as a PEA (Process Equipment Assembly) and the process control layer is referred to as a POL (Process Orchestration Layer).
