• Integrated family of engineering tools for configuring SIMATIC HMI operator panels, as well as for the PC-based visualization systems WinCC Runtime Advanced and WinCC Runtime Professional.
• WinCC (TIA Portal) is based on the new central engineering framework Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal), which offers the user a uniform, efficient and intuitive solution to all automation tasks.
• WinCC (TIA Portal) also offers uniform engineering from the Basic Panel through to SCADA applications.
• Together with the STEP 7 (TIA Portal) products, WinCC (TIA Portal) forms the optimum solution for integrated, efficient engineering.

Current version:

• SIMATIC WinCC Basic V15
• SIMATIC WinCC Comfort V15
• SIMATIC WinCC Advanced V15
• SIMATIC WinCC Professional V15

• The integrated configuration software reduces training, maintenance and service overhead and protects the customer's investments.
• Minimized engineering overhead and reduction of lifecycle costs thanks to Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)
• Minimized configuration overhead due to reuse of scalable and dynamizable objects
• Intelligent tools for efficient and simple configuration:
  • Wizard for defining the basic structure of the HMI project
  • Table-based editors simplify the generation and processing of similar types of objects, e.g. for tags, texts, or alarms.
  • Complex configuration tasks such as the definition of paths of motion or the creation of the fundamental operator prompting are simplified by means of graphical configuration.
• Comprehensive support of multi-language configurations for worldwide use
  • Selectable views for entering configuration data in several languages
  • System and user-specific text lexicons
  • Export/import of language-dependent texts
• Security of investment due to
  • Import of the configuration from WinCC flexible 2008 SP2, 2008 SP3 and 2008 SP5
  • Transfer of the configuration from WinCC V7.0 SP3, V7.2, V7.3 and V7.4

SIMATIC WinCC in the editions Basic, Comfort, Advanced and Professional are innovative engineering tools for configuring SIMATIC HMI operator panels, as well as for the PC-based visualization systems WinCC Runtime Advanced and WinCC Runtime Professional.
