n WinCC, non-proprietary communication in the field of
automation has always been very important.
WinCC has as standard an integrated OPC DA 3.0 server
(Data Access) that gives you access to all the online
values in the system and, on the other hand, can as a
client read data from another application - across the
Web too. The WinCC/ Connectivity Pack offers additional
options. This means that the system can transfer
pre-processed process and production data to higher
level systems for information conditioning (e.g.
Manufacturing Execution Systems, Enterprise Resource
Planning systems or office packages, e.g. Microsoft
Excel, Microsoft Access, etc.)
