Today more than ever, timely access to accurate information is critical in making the right

decisions. These requirements have increased the importance of a technology called human

machine interfacing. Human machine interface means controlling the process and keeping

machines and plants running at an optimal level; it means availability and productivity.

Creating simplicity out of complexity

Processes are becoming more and more multi-layered and demands on the functionality of

machines and plants keep on growing. At the center of these forces are the operators. They

must have access to information and knowledge in a timely manner to make the best

possible decisions; this is what effective Human Machine Interface (HMI) offers. Our aim

with every HMI innovation is to turn complexity into simplicity. We shape the future of HMI

technology and convert it into cutting-edge solutions.

Everything from a single source

With SIMATIC HMI®, Siemens Automation and Drives offers you a complete range of standard

or customized products for the diverse tasks of human machine interface – from a single

source. In addition, we offer extensive benefits such as training, servicing and ordering via

the Internet.

Superbly equipped forintegration into the automation world

SIMATIC HMI products can be integrated at anytime into the production and automation levels aswell as into the corporate management level. Thisintegration is ensured by their open, standardizedinterfaces in hardware and software. Siemens andMicrosoft have worked in close cooperation formany years. This collaboration ensures our inputinto product development and testing. This meansthat SIMATIC HMI is always state-of-the-art.

Global applicationsConnection to just about every controller on themarket and multi-language capability of the con-figuring and visualization software facilitate theuse of SIMATIC HMI all round the world. Languagesinclude German, English, French, Spanish andItalian; Asian logographic languages for China,Taiwan, Korea or Japan are also available. It is, ofcourse, easy to configure the system for severallanguages. To change the language, the operatoror service engineer just presses a button.

Integrated into the World Wide WebSIMATIC HMI turns the Web into a control room –within the plant and as part of a global network.With WinCC Web Navigator, you can monitor andoperate plants over the Internet or your company’sIntranet. Operator panels, such as the SIMATICMP 370 multi panel, can be integrated as ruggedthin clients that also establish the connection be-tween the automation level and the control room.

Mobile use of thin clients, such as a laptop, organ-izer or WebPad, is possible using wireless LAN ormobile wireless connections. This provides the us-er with individualized process, service or man-agement information.

High plant availabilityAll of our operator panels and panel PCs are designedfor harsh environments. WinCC redundant process vis-ualization systems guarantee high plant availabilityduring operation. SIMATIC HMI’s ProAgent process di-agnostics system provides you with effective supportin locating and eliminating faults, thus significantlyreducing downtimes. Preventive maintenance of ma-chines and plants is possible with special software op-tions, such as SIMATIC WinBDE.

More than human machine interfacingThe multi panels under Windows™ CE combine theadvantages of two worlds – the ruggedness of anoperator panel with the flexibility typical of PCs.Siemens is the first manufacturer to implement thisnew device class of multifunctional platforms. In addi-tion to traditional HMI functionality, these panels canalso be used for other automation tasks, such as con-trol functions. For PC-based automation, the SIMATICpanel PCs are available as compact automation plat-forms.

Part of the company-wide IT environmentWhether for plant optimization, quality assurance atthe MES (Manufacturing Execution System) level, orfor providing corporate management data (ERP – En-terprise Resource Planning): SIMATIC HMI becomes anintegral component of the company-wide IT environ-ment – beyond the automated process.

All the benefits of Totally Integrated AutomationTotally Integrated Automation™ from Siemens is themost successful automation concept in the world,offering incredible savings potential. It enables com-plete integration of the individual automation compo-nents – from the controller, distributed I/O and drives,through human machine interface, right up to theproduction control level. Your benefit is the triple inte-gration in configuration/programming, data manage-ment and communication. The result is impressive:The engineering costs and thus also the overall costsof an automation solution are drastically reduced.

As a part of Totally Integrated Automation, SIMATIC HMIuses identical configuration tools under Windows,accesses shared data and communicates system-wide. The WinCC flexible engineering software canthus be integrated into the centralized configuringtool of the SIMATIC world, SIMATIC STEP 7, and can beused for configuring all operator panels. In addition,the SIMATIC HMI engineering software accessesvariable and message lists of the controllers and usestheir communications parameters. This avoids costlymultiple inputs and fault sources – right from thestart.

In conjunction with other SIMATIC components,SIMATIC HMI supports system diagnostics and processdiagnostics during operation. You can thus startSTEP 7 diagnostics for comprehensive fault diagnos-tics from the circuit diagram to the PLC program directfrom WinCC. And with ProAgent, process diagnosticsmessages from the controller are displayed on opera-tor panels or visualization systems – without addition-al configuring overhead on the HMI system or otherdiagnostics instruments.

Competent partners for automation solutionsWith SIMATIC HMI, not only do you get excellent prod-ucts for your requirements, but we also support youin choosing a partner for your automation solution.

In our global network of Siemens Automation SolutionProviders, you can find the competent contact in yourarea at any time, and always with state-of-the-artSIMATIC HMI technology.

On the basis of WinCC, our Siemens-internal WinCCCompetence Centers also implement customized andsector-specific solutions, in addition to technology-specific products.

Globalization and increased competition result in aconcentration of processes, but also require integrat-ed information flow over all company levels and sites.Our answer is scalable client/server solutions and ITintegration – the basis for high levels of transparencyand integrated process optimization.

Limitless integrated scalabilityIf you decide on an entry-level solution to begin with,WinCC will keep up in the event your requirements ex-pand. The integrated scalability with up to 12 WinCCservers (redundant if desired) with 32 WinCC clientseach knows no limits. It is also possible to configureclients as central Web servers with a view of all serverprojects in your plant. All you need for human machineinterfacing or diagnostics is a Web browser. Thin-clientsolutions also allow the connection of rugged on-sitedevices, such as the SIMATIC MP 370 and mobile cli-ents under Windows CE.

The scalable platform for IT and business integration:SIMATIC WinCC

Open for the highest level of integrationWinCC consistently backs Microsoft technologies toguarantee the greatest possible openness and inte-gration. ActiveX Controls allow technology-specificand sector-specific expansions. Even vendor-independent communication presents no problems.Thanks to its OPC compliance, WinCC can be used asan OPC client and server. WinCC also supports stan-dards such as OPC HDA (Historical Data Access), OPCAlarm & Events and OPC XML, as well as access tocurrent process values.Of equal importance is Visual Basic for Applications(VBA) for user-specific expansions of the WinCC GraphicsDesigner and Visual Basic Scripting (VBScript) as aneasy-to-learn, open runtime language. Professionalapplication developers can also use ANSI-C if desired.And the Open Development Kit ODK also simplifiesaccess to the API programming interfaces.

WinCC/Web Navigator, for example, allows you unlim-ited human machine interface functionality over theWeb. WinCC/Redundancy and WinCC/ProAgent in-crease the availability of system and plant. Other op-tions allow you to analyze the process and productiondata, expand individual systems, and much more.

Integrated Historian: process data archiving andinformation hubFor the first time, WinCC V6 integrates a powerful, scal-able Historian based on the Microsoft SQL Server 2000in the basic system. SQL Server enables a range of ca-pabilities from high-performance archiving of currentprocess data, through to long-term archiving with highdata compression levels. Information can also be cen-tralized in the form of a company-wide Historian server.Flexible clients for evaluation, open interfaces, a con-nectivity pack and client access licenses form the basisfor effective IT and business integration.

New perspectives:WinCC options and add-onsThere are numerous WinCC options and add-ons avai-lable from our partners for functional expansions asrequired. For day-to-day automation practice, this meanscustomized, modular expandability on the one hand,and universal WinCC applications, such as sector-specific solutions.

One partner with a global presence and globalavailability that provides you with on-site supportand enjoys the backup of a worldwide logisticsnetwork. And you get the quality and functionalityyou can expect from the market leader in automa-tion engineering.

Fitting into every environment:SIMATIC HMI design devicesWe develop the design of our customized devicestogether with you in our HMI Design Center. Indus-trial designers work here with a pronounced flairfor color, color combinations and shape. Withcompetence in the selection of suitable fonts,standardized symbols for machine operation andexperience in the ergonomics of human machineinterfaces.

Our flexible manufacturing enables cost-effective pro-duction of devices in customized design even withsmall order quantities. All customized design devicesare fully compatible with standard devices: in theevent of a fault, you can simply replace customizedsolutions with standard components; a benefit thatcan be especially helpful abroad. And of course, youcan rely on fully functional logistics and comprehen-sive service.

Versatile individual possibilities:Modular OEM systemThe SIMATIC HMI OEM concept (Original EquipmentManufacturer) is customizing at its best: your require-ments, based on sector and application know-how,combined with our experience in the development ofHMI devices of all performance classes, results in tai-lor-made solutions at a fair price. Our OEM devices aresuitable for sophisticated industrial automation tasksthat cannot be solved with standard products.

OEM devices from SIMATIC HMI are available in allperformance classes: from OEM push button panelsright up to multifunctional platforms and panel PCswith far-reaching changes in hardware (e.g. flashdisk for non hard-disk operation), equipment (e.g.Windows XP embedded operating system) and soft-ware (e.g. WinCC and STEP 7). Our customized OEMproducts are developed in defined steps in accordancewith quality standards. Most importantly, we work inclose coordination with you to meet your design anddelivery needs.

Open platforms for open applications:Open Platform ProgramNow your Windows CE-based panels and multi panelsare as open and flexible as you expect them to be inthe PC world. The Open Platform Program offers di-verse methods of effectively implementing customi-zed software functionality requirements.

New project functions can be inserted in the HMI soft-ware, projects can be supplemented with ActiveX ob-jects and additional software applications that run inparallel with the HMI software can be integrated. It isalso possible to port proprietary or third-party softwa-re applications to these truly open platforms.

Integrated in the right housing:HMI operator stations

If you can't install the operator panel directly at themachine or in the control cabinet, you can use ready-to-install SIMATIC HMI operator stations. Panels alrea-dy integrated into suitable housing and panel PCs areavailable in various versions, including those equip-ped with additional operator controls and keyboarddrawers. They feature IP 65 degree of protection allround and passive, fan-free heat dissipation. Supportarm and stand versions up to customized designs arealso possible.

Whether in the manufacturing or process indus-try, or in building automation: as the globalNo. 1, SIMATIC HMI products are used whereverhuman machine interfacing is required. Referencesin plant and machine building, from automobilemanufacture, through food and beverage pro-duction, right up to the chemical and pharma-ceutical industry prove this:

Engine block manufactureThe Canadian company Nemak produces alumi-num engine blocks using SIMATIC push buttonpanels. Thanks to the bus-enabled operatorpanels, it was possible to reduce the installationcosts for assembly, wiring and testing by up to90%. Their high availability also enables round-the-clock production.

SIMATIC HMI in all industries

Folding machinesWhether curve-controlled or servo-controlled: FALTEC,one of the global leaders in the manufacture of foldingmachines, backs SIMATIC HMI for its machines.Machine and process data are managed, edited andanalyzed online using the SIMATIC ProTool/Pro visuali-zation software on industrial SIMATIC panel PCs.Along with high quality and production performance,the convincing features are short tooling times andgreat flexibility.

Tire manufactureAt its tire plant in Lousado, Portugal, Continentaluses SIMATIC WinCC for operation, monitoring,and quality assurance. This increases the quality ofthe rubber blends produced with regard to repro-ducibility and consistency. At the same time, it waspossible to increase productivity by 33% – withsignificantly reduced downtimes of the mixers.

Automatic cross-grinding machinesThe company Hans Weber from Kronach, Germany,backs the SIMATIC TP 270, a pixel-graphics touchoperator panel with 10” display, in its automaticcross-grinding machines for the woodworkingindustry. The large recipe memory and intuitiveoperation reduce retooling times and prevent op-erator errors. Machine capacity is improved andrejects are reduced.

Baby food productionThe system integrator Briggs Automation fromManchester, England, uses SIMATIC WinCC processvisualization systems for monitoring all productionprocesses in two of the world’s largest baby foodfactories in Novokuznetsk and Saratov, Russia.When servicing is required, the service personnelaccess the plant controller via satellite link fromEngland. The baby food factories particularly valuethe increase in product quality and high plantavailability.

Airport lightingThe fully automatic runway lighting at KimhaeInternational Airport in Pusan, South Korea’ssecond-largest city, is visualized and monitoredwith SIMATIC WinCC. The Korean version of theWinCC software guarantees simple operation evenwhen it comes to service work. The redundant sys-tem design guarantees safe handling of the airport’straffic volume that has risen to 1.5 million passen-gers and 340,000 tons of freight per year.

Water treatmentThe entire sewage works of the public utilities inSpeyer, Germany, is operated and monitored withthe SIMATIC WinCC process visualization software.Combined with the PM-AQUA archiving and log-ging system and the PM-MAINT maintenance man-agement system, WinCC ensures that the waste-water values specified by law are adhered to.

Insulating material manufactureThe company Rockwool, headquartered in Den-mark, has 23 production sites in 14 countries. Itbacks SIMATIC WinCC as the process visualizationsystem for its global rock wool manufacturing op-erations. The openness of WinCC and its associat-ed ability for integrating into the automation andIT worlds, as well as its multi-language capability,were crucial factors in this system decision.

Pharmaceutical industryIn the active ingredient production process atHoffmann-La Roche in Basel, Switzerland, SIMATICMP 270 is used for human machine interfacing inareas subject to explosion hazard. The user-friendlyHMI functions of the multi panel in the EX areaand its high fail-safety in 24-hour operation wereparticularly important to Hoffmann-La Roche.
