4. 1.- Intro: WinCC OA Architecture
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Modular architecture: Managers
Drivers (D): Process Interface (PLCs,…)
Central processing: Event manager (EV) holds the current image of the process variables in memory
Data Manager (DB) parameterization and archiving of value changes
User interface (UI) : graphical display
Managers can run in different machines!

7. 1.- Intro: Terms
Device: Process Component; devices can be sensors (temperature, pressure…), actuators (Motor, valve…), controllers, PCOs, …
Widgets: small display elements presenting a device in a synoptic with a subset of its dynamic values, status and information
Synoptics: Window panels representing the status of the process by displaying animated objects.
Faceplates: Overlap panel presenting all dynamic values, status and information associated to a device.
Trends
Trend Plot : single time base plot of several trend curves
Trend Page : panel containing several trend plots

8. Project creation Follow path convention! Create the project

Status (data) area
Trends/Alarm/Event/History/Comments tabs
Info: HTML page
Diagnostic: custom panel
Trends: Popup

Animation depend on
the state of the device
and user privileges

18. 2. - Basics: Interlocks for Field Objects
Temporal Stop Interlock
Full Stop Interlock
Alarm
Start Interlocks
In case of a START interlock in a field object: the body of the widget won’t change its color and only the letter (I) will change to red. Still the alarm is going to be generated!.

19. 2.- Basics: Alarms I: animation
Alarm widget shows the alarm state according to:
Not active
Active and not acknowledged by the operator (blinking)
Active (acknowledge done)
Not active and not acknowledged (blinking border)
Blocked (by the user)
Blocked but alarm present in the input. (W = position warning) The alarm will be active after unblock action!

20. 2.- Basics: Alarms II: propagation
alarms associated to a
device (analog, PCO, …)
Alarms are propagated to their parents to allow showing a possible blocking
action by the user in a dependent object.

36. 3.- Diagnostic: System Status
The animation of the system status square depends on the items that have been selected in the user application. Those items must be configured in the system integrity to become selectable for the configuration
There are two colors in the animation of the system status: red (critical) and orange (warning). …).
