generation of a project fast and easy and reduce error-prone-
ness considerably. As a software for most complex HMI tasks,
WinCC is able to handle comprehensive projects and mass
data.
Scalability
The basic system is scalable in all respects by employing
WinCC options. The basic software can already be adapted to
increasing quantity structures by finely graded licenses.
Yet, a chosen license can easily be upgraded in regard to the
number of process tags. By employing WinCC/Server, you can
run WinCC as a client/server application. WinCC/Redundancy
is used to build up a highly available SCADA system.
