Sm@rtServer

Introduction

With the SIMATIC WinCC Sm@rtServer option, HMI devices communicate with each other

via PROFINET. The WinCC option thus enables client/server configurations for distributed

operator stations in a plant.

If the SIMATIC WinCC Sm@rtServer option is installed on an HMI device, for example, on

an MP 377 or Comfort Panel, the Industrial Thin Client can access the running project via

Ethernet. In this case, the HMI device is the server. The Industrial Thin Client is a client.

A description of the Sm@rtServer configuration can be found in the online help of WinCC or

in the "WinCC Getting Started Options" manual.

Sm@rtServer-capable HMI devices

The SIMATIC WinCC Sm@rtServer option can be used for all HMI devices as of device

class 177B PN. You can refer to the documentation of your HMI device regarding the

number of clients that are possible with an HMI device that is used as a server.

Licensing

You do not require any licenses on the Industrial Thin Client in order to access an HMI

device. The licenses are included in the SIMATIC WinCC Sm@rtServer option. The

Sm@rtServer license must be installed on the HMI device you are accessing with the Thin

Client.
