SIMATIC WinCCThin-Client Solutions with the WinCC/Web Navigator

Overview

Operating and Monitoring

Across the Worldwide Web

The WinCC/Web Navigator optionpackage represents the arrival ofprocess visualization via the Internet inindustrial applications. WinCC/WebNavigator allows you to visualize andoperate your plant via the Internet oryour company’s Intranet or LAN. For aconfiguration like this you need a Web

Navigator Server on which theSIMATIC WinCC® V5 software isinstalled as a single-user or serverversion and a Web Navigator Client.The Web Navigator Client is a thin clientthat makes possible operating andmonitoring of an ongoing WinCC projectby means of an Internet browser withActiveX support without needing theWinCC basic system on the clientcomputer.

Thin² Client: Merging Web and

Terminal Server Technologies

Siemens A&D is now also introducingWinCC for client-server applications inwhich you can use simply equippedWindow PCs, rugged Windows CE-based terminals or mobile handhelddevices as operating stations. Siemensis the first company on the market touse an innovative thin²-client strategythat combines the advantages of theWeb and terminal server technologies.

This strategy is based on the terminalservice of Windows 2000, which issupported by Version 1.1 of the WinCC/Web Navigator. This makes possiblethin-client solutions on different plat-forms, including clients at the machinebased on the Windows CE 3.0 real-time-capable operating system (e.g. therugged industrial SIMATIC MP370 withtouchscreen), mobile clients such asPersonal Digital Assistants (PDAs) orindustrial Web Pads like MOBIC™ T8

s

running Windows CE, standard PCs

running a Window PC operating system(e.g. Windows 3.1 or MS Windows 9x)as well as Linux and Unix clients (usingthird-party products).

This means that users can be particu-larly flexible when choosing their hard-ware, since in a physically distributedWinCC multi-user solution they can use

specialized equipment on the one handor even integrate computers as clientsthat have relatively low specifications orrun relatively old operating systemversions.

PreliminaryComplete Range of Productsand Services from one Hand

With its many years of experience inthe field of industrial Operator Panelsand its innovation leadership with CE-based devices (“Multifunctional Plat-form”), Siemens A&D was able to bethe first provider of complete thin-

client solutions. In a first step, the new12" touchscreen device, the MP370

Thin-Client and the mobile Industrial

Web Pad MOBIC™ were optimized andsystem-tested for the operation withWinCC. This means that customers notonly receive the solution from a singlesource, but also a guarantee that thesecomponents are ideally matched toeach other.

However, a thin-client solution can onlybe as good as the server hardware em-ployed, since this is where the actualprocessing is carried out. For thisreason, the server systems that are

based on proven Fujitsu Siemens

products are also part of the completethin-client solution. These systemsmust be scaled according to the res-pective application and be designedwith regard to the availability require-ments. Siemens offers this service aswell as consultation and configurationwithin the framework of a completesolution.

This means that customers will alwaysfind a customized range of products andservices from components right up tothe on-site installation of the completesolution.

SIMATIC MP370 Thin Client

The multifunctional platform com-bines the ruggedness of dedicated hard-ware solutions with the flexibility of thePC world. The products in this category— the Multi Panels (MP) — are basedon Microsoft Windows® CE and likeOperator Panels before them they canbe used for on-site machine control andmonitoring. In addition to visualization,these devices can also perform otherautomation tasks, for example in thePLC area.

Windows CE creates the basics for theapplication in harsh industrial environ-

ments. Since they do not operate withhard drives or fans, the SIMATIC MultiPanels can also be used for visualiza-tions in areas, where vibration and dustwould limit the application of a PC.Short startup times make the MultiPanels ready for work quickly.

In the thin-client version, the MP370Touchscreen comes equipped withterminal server client application. Inaddition to performing on-site auto-mation tasks, the device also functionsas a thin client in conjunction with theWeb Navigator, which is easily imple-mented with its integrated Ethernetconnection.

Overview of Thin-Client Technologies

Thin client solution: Programs executing in main memory on the terminal server and client

Technical Implementation

WinCC, Web Navigator Server andClient are installed on a Windows 2000Server computer on which the terminalservice was activated. By contrast withtypical Web Navigator installations, thethin clients are generally located on thesame LAN as the server. However,accesses are also permissible via WAN,RAS and even the intranet/Internet. Youcan integrate mobile equipment usingdifferent media, like mobile radioconnections (e.g. HSCSD) or WirelessLAN. The network connection betweenthe server and the clients is by meansof the TCP/IP protocol. When you useMetaFrame, the system supports IPX/SPX and NetBUIE as communicationsprotocols in addition to TCP/IP. The RDP

protocol (Remote Desktop Protocol) isused as the transport protocol to trans-fer the user interface and consoleactivity between the client and theserver. This protocol complies with theT.120 standard and is also used byMicrosoft’s NetMeeting.

When you operate WinCC/Web Naviga-tor under Windows 2000 TerminalServices, you can connect up to 25

thin clients. If you want to connectmore clients, it is advisable to separatethe WinCC/Web Navigator server andthe terminal server. In this connection, itis then possible to supply in-parallelseveral terminal servers from oneWinCC/Web Navigator server. Theprocess link to the PLC and other data

sources is established using appropriateWinCC process links.

The principle of thin-client/-servercomputing is based on the physical

separation of data, applications

and screen output. The terminalservices of Windows 2000 allowundersized PCs or specialized thin-clients to run applications — such asthe Internet Explorer or typical officeapplications - in the main memory ofa central Windows 2000 terminalserver instead of their own. In thiscase, client PCs are turned intoterminals that only serve for thepurpose of entering data (via key-board or mouse) and of sending thisdata to a terminal server. The termi-nal server carries out the actual pro-cessing (for instance, the loading of

a Web document or the updating ofprocess pictures) and returns theresulting screen output to the clientPC, which then displays it on itsmonitor. Such client sessions can betransferred from one operating stationto the next.

Compared to traditional client-serverarchitectures, the yearly administra-tion and maintenance costs of thin-clients is 3 to 5 times less. HMI/SCADA systems often only carry outone or a few applications on the clientworkstations. In this respect, they arealso ideally suited for the use of theterminal server techno-logy.

Thin Client Technology in Detail

Any type of target clients

WinCC/Web Navigator under Windows2000 Terminal Services allows operationand monitoring of unchanged WinCCprocess pictures including all the dyna-mics on virtually any target systems youlike. These include primarily all Win-

dows operating systems (Windows3.1 and above, Windows CE, EmbeddedNT etc.) as well as other operating sys-tems like Linux, UNIX, MacOS andothers. For MacOS, you must use theMetaFrame operating system extensionfor Windows 2000 by Citrix. Dependingon the hardware that you use, theremay be limitations on the display, e.g.the resolution, colour palette, etc.

Free choice of clients: rugged, mobile

extremely low-priced

For their part, you can deploy the clientsunder the most rugged operating

conditions (vibrations, high tempera-tures, hazardous locations), since theclients do not necessarily need a harddrive or a fan. If a client should fail, youcan replace it within a very short time.All you need to do is physically connecta new unconfigured thin client to theNetwork. The ongoing session on theserver can be applied without beinginterrupted.

The most suitable client platforms areof course the Siemens system-testedones (MP370-Thin Client and MOBIC);apart from this, you can use PCs andthin clients made by any manufacturers,which can be function as RDP and ICAclients. You can integrate mobile

equipment using different media likemobile radio connections or WirelessLAN.

Server in a safe environment

One advantage is that the entireapplication logic executes on a centralserver and only exchanges screencontents and keyboard and mouseinputs with the connected clients. Thismakes it possible to separate the serverand clients, which mirrors the naturalseparation of tasks in many companies.The server is run by the IT department,which administers and archives it andkeeps it highly available.

Centralized software administration

Since the entire application logic isconcentrated on the central terminalserver, you only need to install once theoperating system and the WinCCsoftware. This means that wheneveryou need to make changes on theserver or in the user project, you onlyneed to do it once with all the clientsbeing updated automatically.

High performance in the case of low-

specification client hardware too

When carrying out processing on thethin clients, the same performance isavailable as on conventional clients.This is guaranteed by the adequatenetwork bandwidth (20 kbps per client)and the server’s generous hardwareconfiguration. Since the completeWinCC is not executed several timesbut rather only the Web NavigatorClient, which is itself a thin client, theadvantages increase even further. Thismakes Thin²-Design is just one of thefeatures that make the product uniqueon the market.

Scalable, highly available, secure

Once several clients are operating onone server, handling failures becomes acritical point in all the applications. Thisis particularly significant, since theserver gathers all the functions – inclu-ding the client logic – on the same hard-ware. Precautions against this cannotjust be taken by using hardware

redundancy (RAID systems). Thereis also the option of grouping severalterminal servers in clusters or serverfarms. This spreads the server load toseveral machines. On the one hand,this is for dynamic load distribution witha large number of active clients, and onthe other for carrying out repairs andmaintenance during ongoing operation.

Apart from this, WinCC’s integratedredundancy function (WinCC/Redun-dancy option) offers automatic archive

matching that makes possible consis-tent data storage, e.g. for quality assu-rance systems, even if a subsystemfails. In addition to offering consultingservices at the design stage of corre-sponding server systems, Siemens canalso configure and supply FujitsuSiemens server systems.

The use of thin clients offers the samesecurity mechanisms that are you arefamiliar with from the Web Navigator.These include authentication of usersusing a login and password, securecommunications connections and ac-cess only to resources that are acti-vated for specific users. In this connec-tion, the system uses both operatingsystem and WinCC mechanisms.

Mixed operation of real web clients

and terminal sessions

Users can start operator activities at anoperator terminal and arrange a user-specific window layout. If you have towork at another operator station, e.g. toview a process directly, you can apply

the session directly there.

If process situations occur that inexperi-ence users are not able to cope with, asupervisor can mirror this operator

session and carry out operator activitiestogether with the plant operator.Mirroring is also possible across theintranet/Internet.

Using the solution presented here, youcan not only solve conventional systemconfigurations in a different way, it alsoenables slow migration, since you canmix both “real” clients and terminalclients on one network (hybrid opera-

tion of clients/thin clients).

Easily expandable if necessary

The terminal application can grow withyour requirements. You can simplyconnect more clients to the networkand they function straight away. Thehardware configuration of the servermust of course grow at the same rateas the number of clients increases.If necessary, you can group severalterminal servers into a virtual networkto better distribute the communicationsload.

SIMATIC MP370 Thin Client

The multifunctional platform com-bines the ruggedness of dedicated hard-ware solutions with the flexibility of thePC world. The products in this category— the Multi Panels (MP) — are basedon Microsoft Windows® CE and likeOperator Panels before them they canbe used for on-site machine control andmonitoring. In addition to visualization,these devices can also perform otherautomation tasks, for example in thePLC area.

Windows CE creates the basics for theapplication in harsh industrial environ-

ments. Since they do not operate withhard drives or fans, the SIMATIC MultiPanels can also be used for visualiza-tions in areas, where vibration and dustwould limit the application of a PC.Short startup times make the MultiPanels ready for work quickly.

In the thin-client version, the MP370Touchscreen comes equipped withterminal server client application. Inaddition to performing on-site auto-mation tasks, the device also functionsas a thin client in conjunction with theWeb Navigator, which is easily imple-mented with its integrated Ethernetconnection.

SIMATIC WinCCThin-Client Solutions with the WinCC/Web Navigator

Overview

Operating and Monitoring

Across the Worldwide Web

The WinCC/Web Navigator optionpackage represents the arrival ofprocess visualization via the Internet inindustrial applications. WinCC/WebNavigator allows you to visualize andoperate your plant via the Internet oryour company’s Intranet or LAN. For aconfiguration like this you need a Web

Navigator Server on which theSIMATIC WinCC® V5 software isinstalled as a single-user or serverversion and a Web Navigator Client.The Web Navigator Client is a thin clientthat makes possible operating andmonitoring of an ongoing WinCC projectby means of an Internet browser withActiveX support without needing theWinCC basic system on the clientcomputer.

Thin² Client: Merging Web and

Terminal Server Technologies

Siemens A&D is now also introducingWinCC for client-server applications inwhich you can use simply equippedWindow PCs, rugged Windows CE-based terminals or mobile handhelddevices as operating stations. Siemensis the first company on the market touse an innovative thin²-client strategythat combines the advantages of theWeb and terminal server technologies.

This strategy is based on the terminalservice of Windows 2000, which issupported by Version 1.1 of the WinCC/Web Navigator. This makes possiblethin-client solutions on different plat-forms, including clients at the machinebased on the Windows CE 3.0 real-time-capable operating system (e.g. therugged industrial SIMATIC MP370 withtouchscreen), mobile clients such asPersonal Digital Assistants (PDAs) orindustrial Web Pads like MOBIC™ T8

s

running Windows CE, standard PCs

running a Window PC operating system(e.g. Windows 3.1 or MS Windows 9x)as well as Linux and Unix clients (usingthird-party products).

This means that users can be particu-larly flexible when choosing their hard-ware, since in a physically distributedWinCC multi-user solution they can use

specialized equipment on the one handor even integrate computers as clientsthat have relatively low specifications orrun relatively old operating systemversions.

PreliminaryComplete Range of Productsand Services from one Hand

With its many years of experience inthe field of industrial Operator Panelsand its innovation leadership with CE-based devices (“Multifunctional Plat-form”), Siemens A&D was able to bethe first provider of complete thin-

client solutions. In a first step, the new12" touchscreen device, the MP370

Thin-Client and the mobile Industrial

Web Pad MOBIC™ were optimized andsystem-tested for the operation withWinCC. This means that customers notonly receive the solution from a singlesource, but also a guarantee that thesecomponents are ideally matched toeach other.

However, a thin-client solution can onlybe as good as the server hardware em-ployed, since this is where the actualprocessing is carried out. For thisreason, the server systems that are

based on proven Fujitsu Siemens

products are also part of the completethin-client solution. These systemsmust be scaled according to the res-pective application and be designedwith regard to the availability require-ments. Siemens offers this service aswell as consultation and configurationwithin the framework of a completesolution.

This means that customers will alwaysfind a customized range of products andservices from components right up tothe on-site installation of the completesolution.

Mobile Industrial Communicator —

MOBIC® T8 Thin Client

The Mobile Industrial Communicator is amobile, industrial Web Pad for the localor world-wide access to the Intranetand Internet. The MOBIC T8 can beintegrated into any IT network infra-structure via wireless LAN or viaEthernet at 10/100 Mbps. It can be usedin production and service areas (fordisplaying production and quality data).Service technicians can be notified bythe control room, edit a job request oracknowledge operations. As a thinclient on the Web Navigator, they haveaccess to current process data (errors,process values, production data).
