- Archiving
  Overview of the archiving solutions currently available in WinCC OA
- Module PARA
  Graphical interface for editing datapoints and datapoint types.
- Common Name Service (CNS)
  The plantmodel editor can be used for building and modifying data structures such as views and trees based on CNS and use them within projects easily.
- Mass configuration
  Mass configuration in WinCC OA redefines the fundamental principles of setting up a project and subsequent configuration of the huge range of data points.
- SQL Panel
  The SQL panel allows you to enter SQL statements to perform queries on current and archive data in the WinCC OA database.
- ASCII Manager
  The ASCII Manager allows you to input and output and thus edit data points and data point types and to configure data points.
- Correction Values and Laboratory Values
  These panels can be used to change existing values (=correct), query values from and add new values too the HistoryDB and RDB.
- Data Point Groups
  The main purpose of grouping data points is to simplify selection of datapoints and datapoint elements.

Analog2 data point type

This data point type can be used to display analog values with alerts from the PLC. The analog value is mapped onto *.analog.value.


Element	Data type	Description
analog	typref	Data point type analog 1 with its compression levels
alert.error	bool	Error message from the PLC
alert.H2	bool	Upper alarm limit
alert.H1	bool	Upper warning limit
alert.L1	bool	Lower warning limit
alert.L2	bool	Lower alarm limit
sumalert	string	Group alert message
para.H2_limit.	float	Upper alarm limit as command to PLC
para.H1_limit	float	Upper warning limit as command to PLC
para.H2_limit.	float	Lower warning limit as command to PLC
para.L1_limit	float	Lower alarm limit as command to PLC
