Certified WinCC OA Engineer Workshop (WINCCOA EWS)

In this three-day instructor-led course the participants become acquainted with the internal mechanisms and details of WinCC OA. Typical subjects are debugging, performance, communication between the managers and scripting “Do’s and Don’ts”. To derive a maximum benefit a current customer project is used as basis for discussion to show and discuss the used mechanism. Further subjects (like WinCC OA Add-On’s or special functions) can be arranged previously with the trainer.

On completion of this course the trainee will have a deeper knowledge about the internal mechanisms of WinCC OA and therefore
he will be able to handle more complex WinCC OA applications, including the functionalities of the chosen and trained WinCC OA
add-on modules.
In addition to the contenc described below up to two additional WinCC OA modules may be chosen by the participants. Available modules: Plant model, Security concept
(MxProxy), Reporting with SOAP interface (BIRT), VIDEO, Remote UIs (Ultralight Client UX, Desktop UI, mobile UI (Android, iOS),
Recipes, Scheduler, Redundancy, Distributed systems, DRS (Disaster Recovery System), Communication center, Driver (S7 and
others), RDB (Oracle archiving), APM (Advanced Playback Manager), API, Mass configuration / Multilanguage, Object design, AMS
(Advanced Maintenance Suite)

• Explanation of all configs in detail
• Project structure (use of sub projects, config files hierarchy)
• Discussion of a distinct customer project (DPTs, configs, value archive configuration, graphical objects, CTRL-scripts – “Do’s and Don’ts”)
• Analysis Tools: Reports, Debug flags, messages, CTRL script debugger, etc.

Participating trainees should be PC literate (MS Windows, keyboard and mouse skills), have PLC and network knowledge. A basic
knowledge of programming is advantageous. Trainees must have previously attended the “Certified WinCC OA Basic Training”

laptop. A training copy of the WinCC OA software will be provided for the duration of the course if needed. A minimum
specification for this PC is detailed in the note below.
