Description

An OS with multiple monitors is used as SCADA system. The OS is connected to the process (e.g., via Ethernet). The engineering station (ES) is used for project engineering. ES and OS can also be designed as one system.

Functional principle

A single-user system is an independent WinCC system. The engineering and runtime data are stored locally on the PC.

Single-user systems are usually used close to production. They are suited for smaller applications or for operator control and monitoring of independent subprocesses or plant sections.

The screen window technology is suited for operating the single-user system with multiple monitors. In the project engineering you can define on which monitor a screen window is displayed during runtime. By using screen windows you can adapt the project engineering to your requirements. For example, an overview screen can be displayed on one monitor while on another monitor detail screens are shown. Or you configure independent screen selections for each monitor so that every user can freely select which screen is to be displayed on which monitor.
