Global settings which can be done in the graphics system enable the project engineers to implement once defined company standards in a WinCC project and to apply these timesaving to all picture objects which have the same attributes. The use of these components enables the project developer to create his own at any time reusable company specific project standards which results in a much shorter Time-to- Market for the project. The modern graphics system of WinCC supports the work of a project engineer as well by the use of standardized preconfigured picture components as when creating user definable picture components and faceplates. This reduces the time for the parameterizing of the communication dramatically and that’s why the risk of potential faults decreases. In combination with the actual S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs the transfer of the AS Symbols out of a connected PLC into the WinCC project is much faster. Resulting from the integration into the SIMATIC Manager of the S7-300/400 PLCs it is possible to take and align all variable connections as symbols and all AS messages automatically.
When doing project work in a team it is of course possible for multiple project engineers to open the single editors in parallel. Of course the usual operating functionality of Excel is still valid. It is possible to open each single editor separately which makes it very easy to exchange data between these editors. By the integration of stand-alone editors for alarm logging, tag logging, text library, user administrator, user archive and the acoustic alarm into the Configuration Studio the mass data engineering got again much more efficient.
