11 Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option Using the PCS 7 OS Web Option Introduction PCS 7 OS Web Option enables operator control and monitoring of automated processes over the Intranet/Internet using PCS 7. You can use PCS 7 OS Web Option on a PCS 7 system: With a PCS 7 OS multiple station system With a PCS 7 OS single station system PCS 7 OS Web Option consists of two components: PCS 7 OS Web Server PCS 7 Web Client Using the product on a PCS 7 OS multiple station system On a PCS 7 OS multiple station system, PCS 7 OS Web Server acts as an OS Client with PCS 7 OS Web Server functionality. Once an OS Client has been configured as a PCS 7 OS Web Server, it can no longer be used as an operating station (OS Client, SIMATIC BATCH Client or Route Control Client) within the PCS 7 system. A PCS 7 Web Client uses Internet Explorer to access the project data on the PCS 7 OS Web Server over the Intranet/Internet. Operator control and monitoring of the process is supported. Function Manual, 03/2009, A5E

12 Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option 3.1 Using the PCS 7 OS Web Option Example configuration The following figure shows the PCS 7 system configuration when PCS 7 OS Web Option is used on an OS multiple station system. 12 Function Manual, 03/2009, A5E

13 Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option 3.1 Using the PCS 7 OS Web Option Using the product on a PCS 7 OS single station system When used on a PCS 7 OS single station system, the PCS 7 OS Web Server provides PCS 7 OS Web Server functionality. Once the PCS 7 OS single station system has been configured as a PCS 7 OS Web Server, it can continue to function as a PCS 7 OS on the PCS 7 system. The PCS 7 OS single station system can be operated on two different bases: PCS 7 OS single station system (OS single station) PCS 7 OS single station system (engineering station and OS on one PC station) If the PCS 7 OS single station system takes the form of the PCS 7 OS single station system (engineering station and OS on one PC station), then process control and engineering cannot be performed simultaneously. A PCS 7 Web Client uses Internet Explorer to access the project data on the PCS 7 OS Web Server over the Intranet/Internet. Operator control and monitoring of the process is supported. Depending on the requirements of your PCS 7 system, you have a choice of two configurations: PCS 7 OS Web Standard Server and PCS 7 Web Client PCS 7 OS Web Diagnostics Server and PCS 7 Web Diagnostics Client Note for the reader Throughout the remainder of the documentation, the term OS single station system shall be used to refer to both implementations: "OS single station" and "engineering station and OS on one PC station". The reader's attention will be drawn to any differences between the two, where applicable. Terminology The following terms appear in the documentation: Term Synonym used in the documentation Scope PCS 7 OS Web Server OS Web Server Information applies to all configurations PCS 7 Web Client Web Client Information applies to all configurations PCS 7 OS Web Standard Server OS Web Standard Server Information only applies to OS single station systems (with standard license key) PCS 7 OS Web Diagnostics Server PCS 7 Web Diagnostics Client OS Web Diagnostics Server Web Diagnostics Client Information only applies to OS single station systems (with diagnostics license key) Function Manual, 03/2009, A5E

14 Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option 3.2 OS Web Server and Web Client 3.2 OS Web Server and Web Client OS Web Server All the screens and required scripts are stored on the OS Web server so that they can be displayed or run on the Web client. All screens and scripts must be prepared accordingly (published). The Web View Publisher is used for this purpose. Note The following applies in an OS multi-user system: The data from various OS servers can be prepared (published) on the OS Web server. The OS Web Server may not be used as an operator station (OS Client, BATCH Client or Route Control Client) as it cannot guarantee the required reaction and response times. Web Client The operator can log on at the Web client and access the data on the OS Web server by means of a TCP/IP connection. The user interface displayed in Internet Explorer corresponds with the appearance of the user interface on the operator station (OS) with an overview area, work area, and key area. All operations that the operator performs on the OS Web client are automatically logged with the name of the operator. Note The Web client must not be used as an additional PCS 7 station. 14 Function Manual, 03/2009, A5E

15 Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option 3.3 Overview of Configuration Tasks 3.3 Overview of Configuration Tasks Overview of configuration steps required The following table provides you with an overview of the PCS 7 OS Web Option configuration steps and show the recommended order for carrying them out. Step Where? What? 1 Engineering Publish pictures in Web View Publisher (Page 30) station (ES) 2 Engineering station (ES) 3 Engineering station (ES) Configure the user rights, start screen and language in the User Administrator for the purpose of accessing Web Clients (Page 35) In the case of an OS multi-user system: Deactivate the graphics runtime option in the "Computer properties" dialog box (Page 37) 4 OS Web Server Install OS Web Server (Page 27) 5 Engineering Download project onto OS Web Server (Page 38) station (ES) 6 OS Web Server Check settings in the User Administrator once the project has been downloaded onto the OS Web Server (Page 40) 7 OS Web Server In the case of an OS multiple station system: Check that graphics process mode has been deactivated in the "Computer properties" dialog box. (Page 37) 8 OS Web Server Execute the Web Configurator (Page 41) 9 Web Client Installation and setting operations for the Web Client (Page 48) Function Manual, 03/2009, A5E

16 Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option 3.4 Information about the PCS 7 Web Option 3.4 Information about the PCS 7 Web Option Web Client setup If you decide to install the Web Client by downloading it from the Intranet/Internet you can choose whether to "Open" or "Save" the setup file. You should make a note of which option you select when installing the Web Client for the first time, because you will need to use the same method when installing subsequent plug-ins. If the methods do not match, you will get an error message. However, you will not get an error message if you combine the "From DVD" and "Download and save" installation methods. The performance of your OS Web Server The speed and bandwidth of your OS Web Server Internet connection will have a significant impact on performance in terms of your PCS 7 projects, your Web Client's update times as well as when opening pictures. Each Web Client requires a bandwidth of approx. 10 kbps. Maximum performance can be achieved on a LAN (rather than with a 64 kbps/isdn modem) and this will prove beneficial in terms of picture downloading times, the update process and the number of Web Clients that can be operated simultaneously. Synchronous script functions place a great deal of strain on the system. For this reason, you should not use the "SetTagxxx" function in cyclic scripts. If a large number of Web Clients (>10) call SetTagxxx functions in a rapid cycle (1s or less), the OS Web Server will become overloaded. Fail-safe components Access to the HMI system for fail-safe components ("F-HMI" components from the "F- Systems" add-on package) is not approved. Additional information For additional information, refer to the Online Help for the WinCC Information System. 16 Function Manual, 03/2009, A5E

41 Completing configuration on the OS Web server 8.3 Configuration of the Web page 8.3 Configuration of the Web page Using the Web Configurator Role of the Web Configurator The Web Configurator can be used to set up and manage the Internet Information Service (IIS) and, therefore, in turn the OS Web Server website. This has to be set up on the OS Web Server after you have downloaded the project onto the OS Web Server. This setup and configuration process is necessary for the purpose of configuring an operating station (OS) as an OS Web Server and making it accessible to the Web Clients over the Intranet/Internet. You can use the Web Configurator to make the necessary firewall settings for the network card (assuming that you have activated the firewall). Using the Web Configurator The Web Configurator is used: Whenever a new OS Web Server is installed (as a general rule) Whenever there is a change of project Whenever new SIMATIC PCS 7 components are installed or existing ones are updated Calling up the OS Web Navigator start screen Calling up the OS Web Navigator start screen The call up of the OS Web Navigator start screen is specified in the Web Configurator during the initial configuration. There are two options for calling up the OS Web Navigator start screen: Calling up the OS Web Navigator start screen using a virtual folder on an existing web page Calling up the OS Web Navigator start screen as the default web page of the IIS Note If you run the Web Configurator again without first reinstalling the OS Web Server, the dialog box in which you specify how the OS Web Navigator start screen is called up is not displayed again.
