Modular expansion possible with options such as:

-WinCC flexible /Sm@rtAccess for communication between various SIMATIC HMI systems

-WinCC flexible /Sm@rtService for remote maintenance and servicing of machines/plants via the Internet/intranet

Reduces the service and start-up costs due to:

-Backup/restore via USB, MPI, PROFIBUS DP, RS 232 (serial) and optionally via Ethernet (TCP/IP) or compact flash card (CF card)

-Remote downloading/uploading of the configuration and firmware

-Specific drivers can be downloaded

-Long service life of the backlighting

Graphics library is available complete with ready-to-use display objects

Can be used worldwide:

-32 languages can be configured (including Asiatic and Cyrillic character sets)

-Up to 5 languages are selectable online

Standard hardware and software interfaces to increase flexibility:

-CF card, used for recipe data sets and for backing up the configuration and system data

-Integrated USB interface for "Hot plug-in/out“ of I/O devices (printer, keyboard, mouse, barcode reader)

-Standard Windows storage format (CSV) for archives and recipes for further processing using standard tools (e.g. MS Excel)

-Optional Ethernet (TCP/IP) for centralized data management and project management;
