Siemens SIMATIC WinCC 7.5 Update 1

Siemens AG has released an update 1 to Simatic WinCC 7.5. This the scalable and open SCADA system for maximum plant transparency and productivity.

Improvements in Update 1:

The behavior of the WinCC components has been improved compared to WinCC V7.5, including previous patches in the following areas:

WinCC Basic
WinCC Projects - Stability of the WinCC Explorer when WinCC Addons are integratedGraphics DesignerStability of the "grafexe.exe" application when linking tag connectionsCustomized objects: The "Selected box" property of a combo box can be renamed.WinCC AlarmControl: After editing filter settings, the "Grafexe.exe." application is closed correctly.Siemens HMI Symbol Library: Animation of the symbol properties "SymbolAppearance", "BlinkMode", "Flip", "BlinkSpeed", "Rotation" and "Backstyle""Linking of the Tag Connection" function in faceplate types.
Tag Management - SIEMENS SIMATIC SCADA Export: Performance during export of structure tags in TIA Portal.
Tag Logging - WinCC OnlineTrendControl: The labeling of the time axes is assigned to the correct trend.
Alarm Logging - Resource consumption of Process Historian Recovery. Value of the status tags of message groups with messages that neither require acknowledgment nor have the message status "went out".
Report System - Column width when printing out message lists.
User Archives - Size of the "UALogFile.txt" log fileWinCC UserArchiveControl: The "OnSelectedIDChanged" Event is only triggered when the selected row is changed.
Global Script / ANSI-C - "GCreateMyOperationMsg" function: If the comments dialog is to be displayed when triggering a message, the dialog is always displayed in the foreground, independent of the Runtime language.RuntimeStability of the "SDIAGRT.exe" application when activating WinCC
Runtime - Runtime system dialogs: Stability of the "pdlRt.exe" application when opening favoritesVirtual keyboard (CCOnScreenKeyboard): Display of the "German (Switzerland)" keyboard layoutTouch operation: The button animation is executed reliably even if the finger is withdrawn from the object and only then released.
Graphics Runtime - Global design "WinCC Classic": Texts assigned via C script that contain control characters for a line break are displayed correctly in an I/O field.Customized objects: Complete display of I/O fields, when the "Adapt Border" property is activated.
OPC Server - After the OS delta download theconnection to the OPC tags is retained.
ODK - The "GSCGenGetSourceCode" function returns the source code from the transferred actionstream.
WinCC Channels
OPC UA WinCC Channel - When importing OPC UA tags the complete path is adopted as name.(see "Notes on Update 1(Page14)")
SIMATIC S7-1200 S7-1500 Channel - Migrated projects: Setup of a password-protected connection
WinCC/WebNavigator
Web Client - The group displays are displayed correctly when the SIMATIC SERVERVIEW layout is selected in the OS Project Editor.
WinCC/WebUX
Runtime - WinCC AlarmControl: When acknowledging a message,comments can be entered anddisplayed.
WebUX client - Stability of the "GfxRTS.exe" application during connection setup to the WebUX serverColors of the central color palette are displayed correctly

About Siemens SIMATIC WinCC 7.5. With the SCADA system SIMATIC WinCC V7.5, Siemens offers an innovative, scalable process-visualization system with numerous high-performance functions for monitoring automated processes. Whether in a single-user system or a distributed multi-user system with redundant servers, the system offers complete functionality for all industries and features optimum openness.

Due to the permanently increasing level of automation and the related complexity of the plants the cost – and time – pressure is increasing because of the international competition. One response to this pressure has to be efficient engineering on the SCADA layer.

SIMATIC WinCC supports short Time-to-Market when building new plants and achieves a minimum of downtime when doing plant modifications because of its efficient engineering tools.

New functional features include:

Extended functionality for object-oriented configuration
- Import and use of structured data types from S7-1500 PLCs and OPC UA data sources
- Use of structure data types as an interface to the faceplates
Enhanced functionality for designing the runtime interface
- Additional characteristics for dynamization of SVG graphics from the WinCC library
- Integration of the central color palette in the project design template including option for changeover during runtime
- Color design of the virtual keyboard can be customized for touch operation
Communication
- OPC UA client enhanced for Alarm & Condition
- Option to configure access rights for WinCC tags via the WinCC OPC server
- Option to enable/disable connections for all WinCC communication channels
- Enhanced communication driver for Mitsubishi i-QR PLCs Mitsubishi i-QR PLCs
- WinCC Cloud Connect for sending WinCC data to cloud systems using the MQTT protocol
Graphics Designer
- Simplified configuration of multi-language texts and font settings for all text elements in graphics
- New "Animation" option for dynamization of object properties without script programming
- "Color picker" for easy color matching and "character map" for using icon fonts
WebUX
- Auto login can also be configured for "operate mode"
- Support of additional properties for dynamizing the trend control at runtime
- Use of colors from the central color picker also possible for interrupt configuration
- Support of new SVG graphics with dynamic properties
Additional new features
- Revised Tag Simulator (Look&Feel of Configuration Studio) with new simulation capabilities
- System tags for monitoring communication channel and login performance values
- Structuring of WinCC pictures (PDLs) in subfolders possible
- Menu and toolbars can be configured via new editor in the Configuration Studio
