    Configuration of the message via the WinCC Alarm Logging

    In this mode, the WinCC agent directly uses the WinCC Alarm Logging and the messages configured in it.

    Increased reliability with the Monitoring option

    The Monitoring option monitors all functions of the Alarm Control Center and also provides functionalities for the WinCC agent. This includes:

    • Monitor connection to WinCC: Cyclical check whether the connection to WinCC still exists.
    • Monitor functionality of WinCC: The WinCC agent cyclically checks the incrementing of a configurable WinCC tag. If the value of the tag differs from the previously read value, the functionality of WinCC is considered given.
    • Monitoring the message load of WinCC: If the reporting load exceeds a certain limit per second, this is recognized by the monitoring and the configured persons are informed.
