Addons
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 data point 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.
- 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.
