Overview
WinCC IndustrialDataBridge
- The WinCC IndustrialDataBridge option uses standard interfaces in order to connect the automation world with the world of IT and to ensure a two-way information flow.
- Using the SIMATIC WinCC IndustrialDataBridge, communication links between different data sources and data targets can be created by means of simple configuration/parameter assignment. The IndustrialDataBridge can either be integrated into WinCC or used as a stand-alone application (not in conjunction with WinCC).
- Its use is very flexible, due to the support of different database formats and standard interfaces. On top of this, it offers easy configuration instead of programming, which permits fast and secure deployment.
- Data sources for WinCC IndustrialDataBridge can include WinCC Runtime Professional (V13 SP1 or higher).
Licenses
- WinCC/IDB basic license for 100 tags (connections between data points corresponds to one tag)
- Depending on the amount of data, the number of IDB tags can be increased through additive PowerPacks
- The licenses are additive for the number of connections as of version 7.4 (countable).

Benefits
- Connection of the automation level to the IT world
- Integration of systems from different manufacturers via numerous standard interfaces (including OPC, OPC UA, OLE-DB, Office formats)
- Cost-effective and secure due to simple configuration by means of standard software without programming
- High-performance data exchange between several systems at the same time
Highlights
- No programming knowledge required
- Efficient due to transmission of individual data or block transfer (“>”, “<“, “inside where…”)
- Unicode support
- Support of Asian languages (Simplified Chinese, Japanese)
- Web Navigator; support of the WinCC IndustrialDataBridge controls in WinCC images
- WinCC IndustrialDataBridge runs as a system service, as an application in connection with WinCC Runtime Professional, or as a version-independent, standalone application
Design
The software comprises a configuration environment and a runtime environment. The different data interfaces are integrated via software modules. In each case, one module is required as the data source and one module as the data destination. The different modules can be combined in any way.
The connections between data source and data destination are created in the configuration environment. In the runtime environment, the IndustrialDataBridge establishes the connection autonomously and transfers the data of the linked variables.
Function
- WinCC IndustrialDataBridge establishes a link between the source and destination interfaces and transfers data on the basis of a change in value once a configured period of time has elapsed, or when a defined event occurs.
- WinCC IndustrialDataBridge exchanges data between the automation systems of different manufacturers.
- In WinCC it is possible to support access to tags, tag logging, alarm logging and user archive data.
- Possible storage of process data in Office formats such as Excel or Access. Databases can also be integrated for the archiving of larger aggregates.
- One of the features of WinCC IndustrialDataBridge is a send/receive interface which also enables data transfer to SIMATIC S5 or S7-300 stations or other send/receive-compatible devices.
- WinCC IndustrialDataBridge likewise enables SCADA and control systems from a variety of manufacturers to be linked via the OPC interface. In addition, communication via RFC1006 or Send/Receive is also supported.
- SQL databases are available as data destinations for production data acquisition. Data can be transferred from the data source on an event-driven basis with the OPC module or sent directly from the PLC with the Send/Receive module.
- Integration of the WinCC IndustrialDataBridge runtime control into WinCC screens when installing the WinCC IndustrialDataBridge on a WinCC station.
- Independent text-based csv, txt and HTML files are created on reaching a programmable number of entries or if the value of a WinCC tag changes.
- Block transfer for databases through the support of the operators “<” and “>” in the Select instruction.
- Available providers (data sources) can be connected to any consumers (data targets) via the WinCC IndustrialDataBridge (see table below).
Functions for configuration:
- Graphic design of links using drag & drop
- Import and export of links
- Highlighting of selected links
- Renaming of links is possible at any time
- Fast switch for the configuration of the graphic links
