Tool #1: HMI Toolbox

The toolbox for HMI projects currently offers 29

tools already and is continuously expanded.

The HMI toolbox of Siemens Industry Online Support provides

many useful tools that can clearly make every day work easier.
The different tools are available in global libraries and can thus
be easily integrated in your visualization. This saves you
valuable development time that you would have to invest in the
development of separate tools.

SIMATIC HMI Option+, users can access a wide

array of functions from the runtime of their
SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panel. This includes,
among other things:

SIMATIC HMI Option+ serves as a gateway between the

operating system and the WinCC Runtime of the operator
device. System information from the operator device (e.g. IP
address, device information, storage utilization, etc.) and
operating system parameters (e.g. IP addresses, network drives,
etc.) are written to internal HMI tags using OPC UA (Unified
Architecture) in this manner
