Development stages This integration is achieved in several stages. First, WinCC flexible V1
implements the functionality of the ProTool family.WinCC flexible V2 then covers the functional range of WinCC V6.
Intelligent Intelligent tools are available to you for effective configuring.
tools These include the Project Assistant, graphical configuring of picture navigation,
configuring of trajectories, central modification of referenced objects, and mass
data processing for generating and configuring several objects in a single
operation.
Project with several From the WinCC flexible "Compact edition, you can create one project with
devices several operator panels.
Device-dependent When you process projects for different operators panels with WinCC flexible,
function range the function range adapts itself to that of the operator panel during configuration.
Depending on the operator panel, only the functions suitable to that device arethen available. You configure only those functions that are supported by the
selected operator panel and this makes configuring simpler and clearer.
Individual In WinCC flexible, you can configure the position and behavior of windows
setup individually. This provides you with the facility for adapting the working
environment to suit your needs. The configuration of the environment is
associated with the user logged on to Microsoft Windows.

The Engineering System
With the WinCC flexible Engineering System, you configure operator interfacesfor operating and monitoring machines and plants. The relevant configuringdata are stored in the project database.
Editors WinCC flexible has a special editor for every configuring task.
A basic distinction is made between graphical editors such as the picturenavigation editor, and table editors such as the variable editor.
Work area In the Work Area, you edit the objects of the project with the editors started. Allelements of WinCC flexible are arranged around the work area.
Project window In the Project window, you access the project data. The editors available to you
depend on the WinCC flexible edition used and the operator panel to be
configured. In the Project window of WinCC flexible, you always see only the
editors that are supported by the current operator panel. This makes
configuring simple and clear.
Properties window In the Properties window, you edit the properties of objects such as pictureobjects. The Properties window is available in certain editors only.
Task w indow The Task window displays system messages that are created when a project is
generated, for example.
Object w indow The editor elements you have selected in the Project window are displayed in
the Object window, enabling fast access to the required objects.
Tool window The Tool window contains different types of objects that are frequently needed
in process pictures and it enables access to libraries.

Scalability
Scalability When you process projects for different operator panels with WinCC flexible,the function range adapts to that of the operator panel during configuring. Adifferent number of functions is available depending on the operator panel.
You configure only those functions that are supported by the operator panelselected.
This means you can use one project for several target devices. If you changethe target device, only the project data view changes, so no configured objectsare deleted, only removed from view.
Interface In WinCC flexible, you can individually configure the position and behavior ofwindows and symbol bars.
Configuration of the work environment of WinCC flexible is linked to the userlogged on to Microsoft Windows. When the project is saved, the positions and
behavior of windows and symbol bars are also automatically saved.

Engineering Option WinCC flexible / ChangeControl
The increasing complexity of modern automation projects requires constantfunction expansions and improvements during their development and alsowithin the scope of service and maintenance.
WinCC flexible projects are also subject to a continuous process ofmodification and improvement, necessitating the use of a version managementsystem. This is implemented in WinCC flexible with the "ChangeControl" optionavailable from the Advanced edition.
Version management With version management, you can store and manage the development stagesof your project as project versions. If required, in the event of data loss, forexample, you can fall back on an older development stage and re-build on thatbasis.
Version management enables later correction of older project stages. This isnecessary when an error has to be corrected in an older project version that is
already in use in Runtime. However, projects are usually further developed inthe intervening period. The error can be corrected in the older project versionwithout affecting the current project stage.
Version comparison It is also possible to compare the current project version with an older one. Theresult of the comparison is a table listing the modified objects.
Modification logbook The modification logbook can be switched on during configuring. This logs allmodifications made to the project in a central log file.

To retain the value of already created ProTool and WinCC V6 projects, they canbe opened and converted in WinCC flexible.
The converters are a component part of WinCC flexible and are started
immediately when a ProTool or WinCC V6 project is opened.
The scope of the migration depends on the operator panel on which the project isto run:
Windows devices The projects for Windows-based panels from the TP170A to the MP370 can beconverted direct in a WinCC flexible project of the same device type.
RMOS panel On line-based devices, only migration from OP7 projects is possible. OnOP7 line-based unit projects for these operator panels an automatic change is made to an OP77B
operator panel within the scope of the migration.
RMOS panels The projects for RMOS graphics-based panels such as the OP25,Graphics-based OPs OP27, TP27, up to the OP37 can be converted in WinCC flexible projects.
However, a compatible Windows-based device must be selected.
WinCC V6 WinCC V6 projects can be only partly converted with WinCC flexible V1. Thisincludes pictures with their graphics objects, tags and connections.

Integration into STEP 7
If you use a SIMATIC controller and you have installed the STEP7 configuringsoftware on your system, you can integrate WinCC flexible into SIMATICSTEP7.
Benefits With integrated configuring, you access the database that you created when
configuring the controller with SIMATIC STEP7. This gives you the following
benefits:
Management You can use the SIMATIC Manager as the central control point for creating,
editing and managing WinCC flexible projects.
Communication The communication parameters of the controller are pre-assigned when you
create the WinCC flexible project, and they are defined again in SIMATIC
STEP7 in the event of changes.
Symbol access When configuring variables and range pointers, you can access the STEP7
symbols direct in WinCC flexible. In the WinCC flexible variable dialog, just
select the STEP7 symbol with which you want to link a variable. Changes to
the symbol table in SIMATIC STEP7 are updated in WinCC flexible.
Messages When configuring messages in SIMATIC STEP7, the stored texts and
attributes are saved to the database shared with WinCC flexible. When the
project is generated, WinCC flexible automatically imports the required data
and transfers them later to the operator panel.
