Hello Abyrne; If you already have WinCC 7, the best ressource is the Online Help of the software. Simply look for "Channels", or OPC.... If not, here is some information you might find useful: WinCC comes with a number of available communication channels for connecting different SIMATIC S5/S7/505 controllers (for example, with the S7-Protocol Suite) by means of different bus systems, as well as for AllenBradley, Ethernet IP, and Modbus TCP/IP. WinCC also comes supplied with open communication channels such as PROFIBUS DP/FMS and OPC (Openness, Productivity and Collaboration, previously called OLE for Process Control). Because all controller manufacturers also provide OPC servers for their specific hardware, the options for interfacing with WinCC are virtually unlimited.(from WinCC v. 7.0 System description)Also: https://www.automation.siemens.com/hmi/html_76/products/software/wincc/interfaces01.htm#communication |
