It should be possible. It will depend on what you want to actually achieve.
Look at WinCC Options in theST80 catalog(Page 4/71 and 4/73)
More documents on the above can be downloaded fromhere.

Have you looked at using OPC or Simatic NET Station Manager ? |

Yes, any other direct access, if possible, will be unsupported.
What do you mean when you say "database"? If you are only interested in current process values then as gbs suggests, OPC DA will be a free option (OPC DA server is free with WinCC). But if you want access to historical data (tag logging, alarm logging...) you need connectivity pack. Now, I do not know your application, but if you want something on mobile device through internet connection, you may also want to have a look atAdvanced IT - CPs (CP343 or CP443). With them you have many possibilities, includinnghttp access with java.(moreexamples in application and tools section) You will then not require WinCC. |
