Lucky123, Check out the following link: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/88360672 In short: WinCC Flexible - new name for Protool used for programming of Operator Panels. WinCC Classic - This is the "original" WinCC used in SCADA & PCS7 applications. WinCC Advanced - TIA Portal edition of WinCC for operator panels. WinCC Professional - TIA Portal edition of WinCC Classic (further development). Regards |

That is a good question to your local Siemens dealer. Trust me with that matter he could loose more than a day (should). Just a briefly explanation - WinCC FLEX has a versions Micro, Compact, Standard, Advanced. The differences is the type of panels which each of them supports. More info atOrdering DataWinCC flexible. WinCC 'Clasic' version 7.2 (last) is SCADA software. WinCC (Basic, Comfort, Advanced, Proffessional) is aengineering system in the TIA Portalwith excellent usability for the current SIMATIC panels and PC systems.The engineering products are based on the Totally Integrated Automation Portal that forms the integrated working environment for the engineering software. The cheapest and most flexible - it deppneds from the actual project need. And if the project will use TIA Portal or not. So, WinCC (FLEX) Basic is the cheapest and WinCC (FLEX) Advanced or Proffessional is the most expensive and of course most flexible. Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

Let me add customers' preferences by experience: Flexible for panel use TIA Portal for panel use and/or small factory with no real engineering department. WinCC Classic for bigger plants & projects. I know this is discussable but larger companies where I've been, never want Portal-style software. They usually like to keep PLC programming and SCADA (& development) as seperate, independant software packages, no portals or suites but it the end it's you and your customer who decide, not to forget the financial part. |

HelloLucky123, 1-
The latest WinCC now is V7.2. Do not try to correlate between 7 and 12 or 13. The WinCC "classic" will continue until Siemens makes something different with PCS7 (seems not soon) So maybe we can see more versions of WinCC "classic" in the future. 2- *****
Blue Moderator: Answer to new question was moved to: Which WinCC product/version? ***** Anyhow, you can find all information regarding performance, configuration, licenses and part numbers in thecatalog. Best regards, H-H |
