Overview of PCS 7 OS Web Option 3
3.1 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.

Overview of 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.

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 OS Web Diagnostics Server Information only applies to OS single station
PCS 7 Web Diagnostics Client Web Diagnostics Client systems (with diagnostics license key)

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.

3.3 Overview of Configuration Tasks

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)

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.

download server data" in the Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station
manual.

7.2.4 Overview of the Publishing Procedure
Basic Procedure
On the ES, 1+n publishing processes are necessary, whereby "n" is the number of servers
(server pairs in case of redundancy) that the OS Web server accesses or whose pictures are
to be published.
The first publishing process edits local @-pictures and functions on the OS Web server. The
further publishing processes edit the pictures of the OS servers.
Note
In the case of an OS single station system only one publishing process is required to publish
the local data on the OS Web server.
The following standard procedure applies to publishing:

1. Open the OS Web server project on the ES; set the source paths and destination path
during configuration on the ES.
2. Publish all the pictures of the WinCC source projects on the ES (1+n actions) and then
load them onto the PC station of the OS Web server.

Downloading
As the OS Web Server essentially consists of an operating station (OS), the procedure for
downloading to the OS Web Server is the same as when downloading to an operating
station (OS).
Note
If the ES and OS are installed on the same PC station, and this station is also configured as
an OS Web Server, there is no need to download the OS Web Server (such as OS single
station system with ES/OS/OS Web Server).
Downloading changes
Note
If the OS Web Server is configured in an OS single station system, a download of changes
at the OS Web Server is possible.
Information relating to the download procedure

For detailed information about how to download to an OS, please refer to the "Downloading
a project and configuring changes > How to download to an individual OS" section of the

8.3 Configuration of the Web page
8.3.1 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
8.3.2 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.

8.3.3 Setting options for calling up the default web page

in an existing Web page, the OS Web Navigator start screen is
called using the following address:
http://<Servername or IP address of the OS Web Server>/<Name
of the Web page>
for example, http://APDL254/WebNavigator or
http://145.223.123.155/WebNavigator.
• If the OS Web Navigator start screen is called as a standard Web
page of the IIS, the OS Web Navigator start screen is called using
the following address:
http://<Servername or IP address of the OS Web Server>
for example, http://APDL254 or http://145.223.123.155.
In the documentation the expression "<Server address>" is used for
the address with which the OS Web Navigator start screen is called
up.
Port Enter the port that is to be used for accessing the Internet with the
"http" protocol here.
This must be a number within the range of 1 to 65535.
As a general rule, port numbers up to 1024 are pre-assigned by the
system. This field is set to the HTTP port number 80 by default.
IP address Here select the OS Web Server IP address through which the Web
Clients communicate with the OS Web Server.
Standard web page selection Use this option to select the web page that is to be displayed in
box Internet Explorer when the OS Web Server is accessed from the
Web Clients:

to Web Client users once the plug-ins have been downloaded,
run the Web Configurator again, but this time select the
"Webclient.asp" setting.
To redisplay the menu bar, a user with administrative rights can
call the project start page by entering the following address in
Internet Explorer:
http://<serveraddress>/maincontrol.asp
• If you select "Webclient.asp", operator control and monitoring
within process pictures will be enabled. However, no menu bar
will be made available.

Setting option Meaning

Reconnection interval Use this option to enter the time interval that should elapse before
the Web Clients attempt to reconnect automatically following a
connection fault.
Set the value to 0, if you wish to deactivate the "Reconnect

9.8 Removal and retro-installation/Update incl. plug-ins on the Web client
9.8.1 Removal and Retro-installation/Update of Plug-ins on the Web Client
Notes on removing and modifying installed products

You can only remove the Web Client and plug-ins via Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add
or Remove Programs.
The process for modifying/updating products is similar to the one for installing them for the
first time:
● When you log onto the OS Web Server in Internet Explorer, the versions of all the
components installed on the Web Client are compared with the versions stored on the OS
Web Server. If a more recent version is available on the OS Web Server, an update will
be made available to the Web Client.
● You can install new plug-ins at any time via the Web download menu.
For additional information, please refer to the section "How to install plug-ins (Page 53)".

9.9 Web Client functions in process mode
9.9.1 Web Client user interface
User interface
On a Web Client, it is always the layout that was configured on the OS Web server that will
be used and displayed. Operator control and monitoring of the process pictures displayed on
the Web Client is exactly the same as with an operating station (OS), provided that the
operator who is logged on has been assigned the relevant rights.
The Web Client user interface is structured in exactly the same way as on an operating
station (OS). It is made up of an overview area, a workspace and a key set area. The main
difference is that the user interface is displayed in Internet Explorer. Also, some of the
functions associated with key sets 1 and 2 that would normally be accessible on an
operating station (OS) are not available.
NOTICE
If the WinCC Picture Tree is derived from the SIMATIC Manager plant hierarchy, or if the
names of the OS areas in the plant hierarchy and WinCC Picture Tree are consistent, you
will be able to use process pictures.

9.9.2 Functionality on the Web Client
Introduction
In process mode, the Web Client offers functions in the following areas of the OS screen:
● Overview area
● Workspace and process picture area
● Key sets
Overview area
The following functions are available in the overview area:
● Select process pictures from the Picture Tree Navigator
● "Loop-in-alarm" function using group displays
● "Screen printout" function
Note
If the message line and area selection keys fail to display correctly in the overview area
when you connect to the process control start screen for the first time, try refreshing the
display in Internet Explorer by selecting View > Refresh.
If you click an area selection key but the screen does not change in the workspace, try
selecting View > Refresh in Internet Explorer. This menu item requests and displays the
latest data from the OS Web Server.
Key sets
The key sets offer message system and navigation functions. The navigation functions for
browsing through the picture hierarchy will still be visible even if no process picture can be
selected.

Workspace and process picture area

● For the purpose of controlling and monitoring the process, you can use all of the objects
that have been configured on the PCS 7 OS (PCS 7 faceplates and standard/smart and
Windows objects).
● To enable SFC Visualization to run on the Web Client, the SFC block icon and SFC
faceplate functions have already been implemented. You cannot yet use the "Section"
and "Overview" keys.
● You can use all of the SIMATIC BATCH faceplates apart from the "BATCH control center"
button.
● The following buttons are not available with the SIMATIC Route Control faceplate:
– "BCC", "SFC", "RCC", "Close" and "Help"
● Within the workspace, you can check which area is currently active by looking to see
which process picture is being displayed.
● If you open an active SFC instance on a Web Client, it is the "Prepared values" view that
will be displayed and not the "Current values" view, which is the one that would be
displayed in the case of an OS Client. You can select the desired view from a drop-down
list box.
● The following functions cannot be executed in the "Diagnostics" OS area:
– Filtering on the complete export
– Calling up the hardware project (HW Config)
– Call up the configuration data
– Displaying the "Parameters view and the "Chg. Report" view
– Printing from the "Maintenance" view
● The Web Client does not support operation via hotkeys configured in WinCC, because
Internet Explorer is not capable of distinguishing between its own internal operating
objects (e.g., the "Refresh" button) and those of WinCC.
