Export Archive Data for Simatic WinCC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When working with Simatic WinCC, there may be a need to verify and\/or analyze logged process data and historical alarms. Analysis of historical data can be a significant factor in the work of optimizing an automation plant and its associated processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logged process data are difficult to access directly in Simatic WinCC, as it is stored in a SQL database in a compressed format that is not immediately readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swappcon ApS has developed \"Export Archive Data\" as an external application that makes it easy to export both logged process data and historical alarms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the application is installed in Windows, a .NET component is installed at the same time, which makes it possible to integrate the program directly into a graphical WinCC image. This allows the operator to quickly and elegantly verify logged data from within WinCC's graphical runtime surface, e.g. via a WinCC Client PC. It is also possible to export the displayed data values \u200b\u200bto file, in either CSV format or in Microsoft Excel format, for further data processing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic export<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once the operator has selected values and time period to be exported, the export can be easily and elegantly set up as a fixed automatic timescheduled export to CSV format. This means that in future a CSV file will be automatically generated for each time the export is performed. The export files can be stored in a directory of the operator's choice. The automatic export function opens up the possibility of transferring logged WinCC data values directly to external analysis, without additional user intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
