Maintenance package, basics
Maintenance is a necessity wherever different pieces of equipment are used. For example, drives, valves, motors, where it is necessary to perform maintenance work at specific intervals so as to ensure proper functioning. But prolonging the service life of equipment by means of regular maintenance and cost reduction are also key factors in plant engineering and automation technology.

Useful tools and enhancements for special demands.
- PM Agent
  The PM Add-ons product portfolio enhances the base functionality of the WinCC product range. Now this is also supported by WinCC OA.
- Recipes, basics
  Recipe Management Systems are used for managing and storing the set points and commands of automated systems defined by numerous datapoint elements. Even when simulating or testing an application, a relatively large number of set points or input values need to be sent to the peripheral devices by the control system. In these and other situations such a tool represents a great simplification.
- Scheduler, basics
  The main task of the scheduler is to allow you to create, configure and administrate a number of schedules of either time or event triggered actions.

Details for advanced users


This information concerning datapoint types and datapoints in connection with the maintenance package is intended for advanced users and parameter setters in WinCC OA. Regular users should not change any datapoint types or datapoints.


The following datapoint types are used for the WH/SC:


Datapoint type	Master datapoint	Description
WH_SC1	_mp_WH_SC1	Datapoint type is used to create a WH/SC
WH_SC_SUB	_mp_WH_SC_SUB	Datapoint type is used as a type reference in WH_SC1


When creating a WH/SC, copy the master datapoint, add the configured settings and rename it. The name consists of the following: WH for working hours and SC for switch counter + "_" + "datapoint name" to which the WH/SC refers, cf. Datapoint type WH_SC1 for detailed information on datapoint elements of this type. For further information on the datapoint type WH_SC1 and its data point elements, cf. Datapoint type WH_SC_SUB.


The following datapoint type is used for maintenance:


Datapoint type	Master datapoint	Description
WH_SC_SERVICE	_mp_WH_SC_SERVICE	Datapoint type is used to create a maintenance job


When creating a maintenance job, copy the master datapoint, add the configured settings and rename it. The name consists of the following: WH for working hours and SC for switch counter + "_" + "name of the WH_SC1 datapoint" + number, cf. Datapoint type WH_SC_SERVICE for detailed information on datapoint elements of this type.
