Installation

Hardware
According to the Installation Guidelines (InstallNotes.pdf)

Software
Microsoft operating system Win2000 or WinXP
Windows 2000 SP3 or Windows XP SP1 (included in delivery)
Microsoft Message Queuing services (from Windows Installation CD)
Internet Explorer V6.0 SP 1 (included in delivery)
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP3 (included in delivery)
WinCC V6.0
SIMATIC NET, V6.0 SP5 (November 2002) for Windows 2000 and Windows XP
Installation of the authorizations

Migration of Configuration from V5 to V6 1/2

Requirements
WinCC V5.0 SP2 or V5.1 Project
Sybase 7 installed
from existing WinCC V5 installation
from WinCC V5 CD (WinCC\setup\Products\Sybase_7)

Tools: Project Migrator Wizard from Storage

Steps
Parameterize Migration Tool for the migration of Configuration
and Runtime databases (also Storage)
Convert Screens, Libraries, etc.

Migration of Configuration from V5 to V6 2/2

TCP/IP

1... n

SIMATIC NET

Standard Client/Server
Migration Tool automatically converts the Server project including the computer list
Sybase Installation must still exist on the WinCC computer for conversion to MS SQL.
Multi-Client/Server
Separate migration of the Server and ALL Client projects
Sybase must be present on ALL WinCC computers for the migration
Initial Export and Import (create new) of the Server packages is necessary after that it runs automatically.

Bit Message Procedure

- WinCC polls the message bits every 500ms

+ easy to configure
- central acknowledgement through
acknowledgement tags

Reporting in the Correct Chronological Order

+ message telegrams are only sent when events occur

+ exact time-stamp for messages (length of the CPU cycle;
e.g. 50ms)
- with PMC central acknowledgement without additional work
- S5-PMC: higher capital expenditure (PMC channel; PMCPRO and special
FBs)

- S5-PMC: higher CPU scan cycle time and higher memory usage
+ Advantage with S5 communication: S5-PMC does Blocking
+ S7 blocks integrated in the operating system

Events/ Button/ Mouse/ Press left/ C action...

Box_mit_Pos2 (lpszPictureName, lpszObjectName,
Bildfenster1", Motor.pdl");

You can place dialog screen windows where you want them on the screen. To establish a
reference to the operated object, it is advantageous if the dialog box appears where it
is used. You can attain this positioning with the following steps:
- Scanning the properties of the operated object and the entire screen
- Scanning the size and stretching the dialog window
- Specifying the appearance location of the dialog window (to the right or left next
to the operated object)
These functions are combined in a standard function that can then be used from
any location (each screen and operating object).

Background Processing (Actions) with Global Script

WORD HOUR, MINUTE;
BYTE Z_ON;
Z_ON = GetTagByte ("Z_On");
if (Z_ON) {
MINUTE = GetTagWord
("Minutes");
MINUTE = MINUTE + 1;
SetTagWord ("Minutes", MINUTE);
HOUR = MINUTE / 60;
SetTagWord ("operating hours", HOUR);
}
return(HOUR);

Note: Global Script must be activated in the computer startup list
