• Integrated family of engineering tools for configuring SIMATIC HMI operator panels, as well as for the PC-based visualization systems WinCC Runtime Advanced and WinCC Runtime Professional.
• WinCC (TIA Portal) is based on the new central engineering framework Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal), which offers the user a uniform, efficient and intuitive solution to all automation tasks.
• WinCC (TIA Portal) also offers uniform engineering from the Basic Panel through to SCADA applications.
• Together with the STEP 7 (TIA Portal) products, WinCC (TIA Portal) forms the optimum solution for integrated, efficient engineering.

Current version:

• SIMATIC WinCC Basic V15
• SIMATIC WinCC Comfort V15
• SIMATIC WinCC Advanced V15
• SIMATIC WinCC Professional V15

• The integrated configuration software reduces training, maintenance and service overhead and protects the customer's investments.
• Minimized engineering overhead and reduction of lifecycle costs thanks to Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)
• Minimized configuration overhead due to reuse of scalable and dynamizable objects
• Intelligent tools for efficient and simple configuration:
  • Wizard for defining the basic structure of the HMI project
  • Table-based editors simplify the generation and processing of similar types of objects, e.g. for tags, texts, or alarms.
  • Complex configuration tasks such as the definition of paths of motion or the creation of the fundamental operator prompting are simplified by means of graphical configuration.
• Comprehensive support of multi-language configurations for worldwide use
  • Selectable views for entering configuration data in several languages
  • System and user-specific text lexicons
  • Export/import of language-dependent texts
• Security of investment due to
  • Import of the configuration from WinCC flexible 2008 SP2, 2008 SP3 and 2008 SP5
  • Transfer of the configuration from WinCC V7.0 SP3, V7.2, V7.3 and V7.4
