Introduction
Function Overview
The enormous growth of the Internet in recent years has had and is having a large
impact on industrial development. One of the key factors responsible for the
Internet boom was the development of the World Wide Web (WWW) Internet
service.
Browser applications with graphical user interfaces make accessing and navigating
the Web easy: clicking a mouse button is all that is needed to cross geographical
borders.
The "WinCC Web Navigator" option package to the WinCC basic system (V5.0
SP2 or higher) enables you to develop a solution for controlling and monitoring
processes via the Intranet/Internet. With this option package and the standard tools
of WinCC, a new way of distributing the HMI functions of your plant - that employ
the Intranet/Internet - can be implemented quickly and easily. The WinCC Web
Navigator supports all current Internet security measures and provides Wizards to
help you with the configuration.
The communication mechanisms used by the WinCC Web Navigator utilize a
powerful and optimized event-driven transmission of data, which delivers the best
performance via the Intranet/Internet.
The WinCC Web Navigator package consists of special WinCC Web Navigator
Server components that are installed on the server computer, and of WinCC Web
Navigator Client components that are installed on the Intranet/Internet computer.
As a so-called "thin client", the WinCC Web Client can control and monitor a
running WinCC project from an opened Internet Browser, without the need of
having to install the complete WinCC basic system on the client computer.
The WinCC Web Navigator thus cost-effectively expands the networking of clientserver systems to the Intranet/Internet. The project and the associated WinCC
application are located on a server computer. Thus, there is a clear separation
between the visualization component on the client computer and the running
WinCC project on the server computer. This makes it easy to set up Operator
Stations for maintenance or diagnostic purposes.
WinCC Web Navigator

C79000-G8276-C522-01

Introduction
04.01
The WinCC Web Navigator Client software runs under Windows 98, Windows ME,
Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 or higher. The visualization takes place in any
Internet Browser that support the ActiveX technology by Microsoft such as the
Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher.
The WinCC Web Navigator Client software can be installed in various ways: as
usual via the CD-ROM or as a self-extracting file via the Intranet/Internet. In other
words, when accessing the WinCC Web Navigator Server, it will be checked
whether the client software has been installed. If the client software is missing, the
user will be asked to download the file to his computer and to perform the
installation. This scenario provides the WinCC Web Navigator user with a high
degree of flexibility and mobility.
Another interesting and valuable aspect is the user-specific assignment of start
pictures and languages. This assignment makes it possible to give different users
immediate access to different areas of a project.
The pictures displayed on the WinCC Web Navigator Client can be controlled just
like in a normal WinCC system. In this way, the project running on the server
computer can be influenced from any point on earth.
Security is an essential aspect when controlling and monitoring via the Internet.
Thus, the WinCC Web Navigator supports all currently known security standards
(used in the banking and insurance industry) ranging from user-specific logins and
passwords, firewalls, secure ID cards with PINs to RAS (Remote Access Service)
and the SSL technology.
For the communication to its clients, the WinCC Web Navigator Server requires the
Microsoft Internet Information Server or the Personal Web Server that is integrated
into Windows 2000 or has to be installed from the supplied CD-ROM for Windows
NT. For setting up the WinCC Web Navigator Server, the WinCC Web Configurator
is provided, which makes the configuration easy and convenient for the user.
The Wizard is ideal for users without Internet server knowledge - after only a few
inputs, the Web Server is correctly configured.
In order for a WinCC project to run on the WinCC Web Navigator, its WinCC
pictures have to be adapted and converted. As before, the WinCC pictures are
created and edited with the WinCC Graphics Designer.
The Web View Publisher automatically makes the necessary changes to the
project data (conversion of WinCC pictures, scripts) so that they can run on the
WinCC Web Navigator Client. In order to achieve the best possible performance,
the Wizard limits itself to information that is necessary for the Web.
In connection with the "WinCC Guardian" option package, live video images can be
shown via the Internet. The WinCC Guardian components are used to, among
other things, display live video images of your plant within WinCC pictures.

Introduction
Upgrading of the WinCC Web Navigator V1.0 to

V1.1
Web Navigator Server
At the server, the deinstallation of Version 1.0 is necessary.
Following that, Version 1.1 of the Web Navigator Server can be installed.
Web Navigator Client

At the client, the so-called "Zero Administration" exists: the Web server checks the
version compatibility between server and client and downloads the client
component if necessary. This takes place when upgrading or downgrading.
If a Web Navigator Client V1.0 meets a Web Navigator Server V1.1, Version
1.1 will automatically be installed on the client.
If a "new" Web Navigator Client V1.1 meets an "old" Web Navigator Server
V1.0, the communication will only operate with the functionality of Version 1.0.

WinCC Web Navigator Security

Overview
At present, when you connect your WinCC Web Navigator Server to another
computer, you are exposing your data to certain risks.
How the connection was established plays no roll, e.g. a connection via a local
network (LAN) or a dial-up connection via an Internet provider. Unauthorized
persons could have access to your data. Your transmission could be intercepted,
manipulated and misdirected. By providing certain directories in your system with
special security layers, you can control the transmission of information.
There are several important concepts regarding a secure transaction:
Windows NT makes available powerful security functions which can be used to
check users, for access checks and for monitoring purposes. The WinCC Web
Navigator Server, which is based on the IIS, makes use of these Windows NT
capabilities to provide security for its Internet-based services. Windows NT uses a
security model which manages the security for all services through the use of a
single registration process.
By creating user accounts and by setting up access authorizations for these
accounts, the administrators can control which resources and services are
available to the users. The central administration for the WinCC Web Navigator
Server is performed via the WinCC Web Administrator.
In addition, the WinCC Web Navigator Server supports firewall technology. With
the help of a firewall, you can protect your system from unauthorized access.
Firewalls require that the user must constantly identify himself. This identification
can be performed with the aid of company-approved IP addresses, by using userIDs and passwords - even secure ID cards and encrypted access passwords which
are changed at set intervals.
The most important components for the security of the WinCC Web
Navigator Server are: Secure Socket Layer (SSL), secure HTTP (HTTPS),
WinCC Web Administrator, firewall, secure ID card.

SSL
SSL is a protocol which guarantees the data security between HTTP and TCP/IP.
The standard for the security of WWW browsers and servers is defined by the W3C
(World Wide Web Consortium). The W3C was established to create standard
normatives for the WWW. Additional information can be found in the Internet under
http://www.w3c.org.
The SSL performs a security check before a TCP/IP connection is established.
This check determines the security level on which the client and the server agree
and over it, the necessary authenticity operations for the connection are performed.
SSL performs the encryption and decryption of the data stream of the used
protocol (e.g. HTTP = Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) as long as the connection
exists. All information, requests as well as responses, are encrypted. This includes
the information used for the authenticity check of the HTTP access (user
name/password) as well as all data transferred from the server to the client.
In order to use SSL, you require as system operator a certificate from a certification
provider, e.g. VeriSign
Requests for a VeriSign certificate for the Microsoft Server can be found at
http://www.verisign.com.
4.3
HTTPS
HTTPS is an extension of the HTTP protocol. The SSL protocol is used to establish
a secure connection between two computers, while HTTPS sends individual
messages securely. The communication between the WinCC Web Navigator
Server and Client is performed here using the HTTPS protocol.
26
WinCC Web Navigator

C79000-G8276-C522-01

4.4
WinCC Web Administrator

The WinCC Web Administrator allocates and controls access privileges for the
users of the Web site. This is achieved by assigning access privileges during user
setup
When a user logs into the system, the WinCC Web Navigator Server checks
whether the user is registered and whether the maximum number of Web
Navigator Clients has been reached.
4.5
Secure ID Card
Remote Access Service (RAS) is a service which can be used, for example, to log
into a network directly from home. This is performed via the remote
communications network. You are prompted to enter your card ID and PIN number
by the RAS server. The RAS server checks the entries and, if necessary, calls you
back. This method ensures that only users with valid access information are able to
access the server.

Firewall
General Information
A firewall is a system consisting of hardware and software that is installed at a
point between two networks and only lets authorized communication traffic pass
through. Improper actions are rejected and detected unauthorized use attempts
can be recorded. Thus, firewall systems are suitable to enforce defined rules with
regard to security (security policy). Firewalls are often used when connecting to the
Internet, protecting the internal network from the dangers of the Internet.
4.6.2
Principle of Operation
One computer with installed routing software and two interfaces (two network
adapters). The Internet is connected to one interface, the Intranet to the other.
This results in two different networks sharing one computer and provides
exceptional security against attacks from the Internet.
4.6.3
Firewall Types
Among others, there are the following types of firewalls:
28
Filter Firewall
Proxy Server
WinCC Web Navigator

C79000-G8276-C522-01
04.01
Filter Firewall
A filter firewall controls the data stream based on a data packages origin,
destination, port and package type information. This information is contained in
every data package. Only selected network traffic can pass through the firewall.
Package filters are IT systems (Information Technology Systems) with special
software that filter the information (IP packages) on the transport layer, i.e. they
either let the information pass through or intercept it according to defined rules.
The rules can operate by means of the source or target address as well as the
source or destination port that is typical for the respective Internet service. Many
routers can also be employed as package filters. Unlike static package filters,
dynamic package filters do not possess a defined set of rules, instead, the firewall
modifies the filter in response to certain events.
Proxy Server
Proxy servers permit indirect access to the Internet through the firewall. A proxy is
an application for network services that is executed depending on the
communication of the service and from system to system. The service program of
the user does not communicate directly with the target system, but with the proxy
server of the firewall. The proxy evaluates the request and determines whether to
establish or deny the connection.
Proxy servers provide user authentication and integrity during the transfer of data
between client and server. The hypertext transfer protocol (http) proxy intercepts
connections from every Web Browser and directs the requests to the configured
Web Server.
Proxy servers support content filtering. With content filtering, only certain contents
of HTML pages are permitted. In this case, the communication is rerouted via a
defined port to an IP address such as the address of the WinCC server. If content
filtering is active, the Web Navigator communication will no longer function. In this
case, the use of SSL is recommended.

Establishing a Connection with the WinCC

Web Navigator Server
Before you connect your WinCC Web Server to the intranet or Internet, you must
establish a concept which takes into consideration relevant security and system
issues.
5.1
Island solution
In the figure shown above, the Web Clients are not connected to the intranet, but
are rather used only to operate and observe the running WinCC project. You can,
in this way, economically set up computer stations which can, for example, be used
for monitoring or maintenance purposes.

Navigator Server on the WinCC Server

The WinCC Server and the server components of the WinCC Web Navigator are
installed on one computer. The WinCC Web Navigator client can be used to
operate and/or observe the running WinCC project over both the intranet and the
Internet. A client/server system can be expanded through the use of WinCC Web
Navigator Clients.
Firewalls are used to protect against attacks from the Internet. The first firewall
protects the WinCC Web Navigator Server from attacks originating in the Internet,
the second firewall provides additional protection for the intranet.

Separation of WinCC Server and WinCC Web Navigator

Server
Communication via a channel

The WinCC Server is assigned a group of automation devices. The project is
composed of all data, including programs, configuration data and other settings.
The WinCC project is mirrored 1:1 on the computer with the WinCC Server and
WinCC Web Navigator Server and is not connected to the automation devices.
The data matching is performed via the OPC channel (OPC = OLE Process
Control). The WinCC Web Navigator Server requires for this purpose a license for
the number of OPC tags.
Two firewalls are used here as well to protect the system from unauthorized
access. The first firewall protects the WinCC Web Navigator server from attacks
originating in the Internet, the second firewall provides additional protection for the
intranet.

Configuration of the User Administration

The WinCC Web Administrator is used to give your Intranet/Internet users access
to your WinCC project and to assign user-specific start pictures and languages. In
addition, user-specific rights for controlling and monitoring the process can be
assigned. The WinCC Web Administrator allows you to quickly and easily set up a
secure and clear Intranet/Internet user administration for WinCC.
If a user logs on to the system, the Web Navigator Server will check, whether the
user is registered and whether the maximum number of licensed Web Navigator
Clients has been reached.
The tasks of the Web Navigator Administrator include:
Creation and editing of users
Assignment and administration of access rights
Assignment and administration of start pictures and languages
The following access rights can be assigned to a Web Navigator Client:

None
The user rights assigned in the "User Administrator" editor will be evaluated for the
user. If no authorization has been assigned in the "User Administrator" editor, the
user will be able to perform this operation in runtime.
Unlimited Control and Monitoring (All)

The user is assigned the right to control and monitor the process in runtime.
How to start the WinCC Web Administrator:

1. In the project navigation window of the WinCC Explorer, right-click on the "Web

Configuration of a Web Project

Transfer of WinCC Pictures: Web View Publisher
To run your WinCC project on the Intranet/Internet, you can create pictures with
standard WinCC tools or use already created ones.
Note
Only use the WinCC Web View Publisher for projects that have been created with
WinCC V 5.0 SP1 or higher.
Problems may occur with projects that have been converted from WinCC V4.02
and V4.02 SP1 to WinCC V5.0 SP1 / SP2.
Please read the corresponding chapters with regard to limitations, when using
complex functions or scripts. If the project and the pictures were created with the
WinCC Graphics Designer, a Wizard is available to make the pictures run on the
Internet.
The Web View Publisher automatically makes the necessary changes to the
project data (conversion of WinCC pictures, scripts) so that they can run on the
WinCC Web Navigator Client via the Intranet/Internet.
The following conversions will be performed:
Compression of the data to achieve the best possible performance on the

Internet
Removal of project-specific data that is unnecessary for the operation
Conversion of picture windows into ActiveX components
Conversion of scripts so that they can run on the WinCC Web Navigator Client
How to start the Web View Publisher:

1. In the project navigation window of the WinCC Explorer, right-click on the "Web
Navigator" entry.
2. In the pop-up menu displayed, click on the "Web View Publisher" menu
command.

Transfer, Adaptation of existing Projects

You can use already existing projects that have been created with WinCC and
make the accessible via the Internet or Intranet.
Essentially, this requires the conversion of the already created WinCC pictures with
the WinCC Web View Publisher into the WinCC Web folder and the setup of the
Web users with the WinCC Web Administrator.
Note
Only use the WinCC Web View Publisher for projects that have been created with
WinCC V 5.0 SP1 or higher.
Problems may occur with projects that have been converted from WinCC V4.02
and V4.02 SP1 to WinCC V5.0 SP1 / SP2.
Version 1.1 of the WinCC Web Navigator has some functionality limitations and as
a "thin client" solution does not support all functions that are offered by the
standard WinCC basic system.
Thus, check your existing WinCC configuration with regard to the following points
and limitations, and adapt it if necessary.
If scripts are used in pictures, objects addressed by scripts must not contain blank
spaces or special characters in their names.
For example: The object named "Button 1" is to change its background color, if a
certain value changes. If this is implemented via a script, the object name must be
changed from "Button 1" to "Button1" (no blank space). The reason for this is that
the script interpreter software used by the Web Navigator Client does not support
blank spaces and special characters in object names.
Warning
In V1.1 of the WinCC Web Navigator, the available functions and standard
functions that can be used on the WinCC Web Navigator Client are limited to
approximately 600. A list of functions supported/not supported by the WinCC Web
Navigator Client can be found in the appendix.

Limitations
When transferring the comprehensive WinCC runtime functionality to the minimal
runtime environment of the WinCC Web Navigator Client, limitations are
unavoidable.
Among others, the following WinCC options or functions are not available on the
WinCC Web Navigator V1.1 via the Intranet/Internet:
The WinCC Web Navigator Client only offers the view of a running WinCC
project. A configuration of the WinCC Server projects via the Web Client is not
possible.
Only those WinCC option packages/add-ons can run on the WinCC Web
Navigator, whose documentation expressly states that.
ODK functions are not supported on the WinCC Web Navigator Client. A list of
functions supported/not supported by the WinCC Web Navigator Client can be
found in the appendix.
The PCS7 options do not support the current version of the WinCC Web
Navigator Client.
The WinCC Report Designer is an integrated reporting system for the time- or
event-triggered documentation of alarm messages, operations and archive
contents. The reporting system is not supported via the Intranet/Internet. Thus,
the output of reports is not possible on the Web Client.
WinCC User Archives are not available via the Intranet/Internet.
Operator messages are not supported by the current version of the WinCC
Web Navigator Client.
No separate archive system is running on the WinCC Web Navigator Client.

The message archive or message system can only be controlled and
monitored.
If scripts are used in pictures, objects addressed by scripts must not contain
blank spaces or special characters in their names. This is especially important
for projects that have been converted from WinCC V4.02 and V4.02 SP1 to
WinCC V5.0 SP1 /SP2. The following special character in object names is
supported: "_". The object name "Tank 1" must be changed to "Tank_1"
("_Tank1" needs not to be changed, "Tank.1" is not supported).
The indirect addressing of tags is not supported.
Global Scripts running locally on the client are not supported. Global Scripts
running on the server are supported.
The redundancy switch is not supported.
When using functions that are not supported, the user will be informed about this in
runtime via clear text messages.

Using Scripts
Global Script
The WinCC Web Navigator Client only provides a view to the project. The
configuration of scripts takes place in the server project of the WinCC server. For
this reason, the "Global Script" editor is not offered on the WinCC Web Navigator.
Unlike in WinCC, all scripts on the WinCC Web Navigator Client are integrated in
the same name space. This makes possible function calls between scripts that are
implemented in different objects. Global tags are known to all scripts. For this
reason, "defines" - such as "#define Motor 1 100" - that are stored in scripts of this
file may only occur once across all scripts.
If multiple occurrences are required due to configuration reasons, "define" needs to
be deactivated first by a "#undef".
Example:
#undef Motor1
#define Motor1 200
Actions
Actions are scripts that respond to operations and events. The appendix of the
Online Help contains the functions that are supported.
Warning
Since the CISS compiler used for the interpretation of scripts/functions in pictures
is conforming to ANSI-C, no anonymous structures and unions are used. In the
VARIANT2 structure compatible to VARIANT, the stored union is named "vdata".
VARIANT2 vTest;
VariantInit((VARIANT*) &vTest);
vTest.vt=VT_I4;
vTest.vdata.lVal=1024;
VariantClear((VARIANT*) &vTest);
The names of objects used in WinCC pictures and addressed by scripts must not
contain blank spaces or special characters. Also, object names are case-sensitive.

The "PdlPad" Tool

Installing the WinCC Web Navigator Server will also install the "PdlPad" tool, which
can be accessed from the Windows start menu under
SIMATIC\WinCC\WebNavigator\Server\Bin.
The Web View Publisher automatically made the necessary changes to your
pictures so that they can run on the WinCC Web Navigator Client via the
Intranet/Internet. These pictures can be found in the WinCC project path under
...\WebNavigator\Pictures. Please also see the "WebNavigator.CHM" chapter of
the documentation under "Transfer of WinCC Pictures: Web View Publisher" .
With the help of the "PdlPad" tool, the scripts used in the pictures can be checked.
To do so, open the WinCC picture in the PdlPad and click on the "Check Scripts"
icon.

9.6.1
04.01
Differences to the WinCC Base System

Script Execution
Contrary to the WinCC base system, event-triggered scripts (OnClick, etc.) are
executed in the same process space as the picture display, namely in the context
of the Internet Explorer.
Consider this, when working with delays in scripts (e.g. Sleep(3000)). In this case,
the displayed picture will not be operational for the time period set.
9.6.2
Opening a Picture
The Web Navigator downloads a WinCC picture from the Internet in an
asynchronous manner. Because of this, a picture change is not performed
synchronously as in the base system, but asynchronously. This fact has to be
considered in scripts that trigger a picture change.
The following applies:
If a picture window is selected within a script, then the same script will not be able
to access the objects of the new picture, since the picture is not yet loaded at the
time. In this case, a delay (e.g. Sleep(2000)) will not help either, since the script
and with it the Internet Explorer as well are waiting.
A better solution is to execute the subsequent script sections at the "OpenPicture"
event, which is triggered once the picture has been loaded.
9.6.3
Scripting
Preprocessor Definition:
Especially for the Web Navigator, the scripting possesses a preprocessor
definition:
RUN_ON_WEBNAVIGATOR
The code that follows this preprocessor definition will be executed by the Web
Navigator. Thus, it is possible to write scripts that behave differently under the Web
Navigator than under the base system.
60
WinCC Web Navigator

C79000-G8276-C522-01
04.01
Example:
void OnOpenPicture (char* lpszPictureName, char*
lpszObjectName, char* lpszPropertyName)
{
#ifdef RUN_ON_WEBNAVIGATOR
// add the code applying to the Web Navigator only
}
#else
// add the code applying to the base system only
#endif
}
9.6.4
Addressing of Objects in other Pictures

If the objects of a picture are to be accessed from another picture via a script (e.g.
objects in a parent picture or a picture window), this can only be achieved by
employing relative addressing (unlike in the base system).
All C-script functions that access the objects of a picture, request the picture name
as the first parameter.
For example: SetPropChar ("Start Picture", "Text1", "Text",
"Hello, here is a text");
When accessing objects that are not located in the same picture, the Web
Navigator provides specially defined picture names that specify the addressing of
the pictures relative to the current picture.
Addressing of an Object in the Basic Picture

If there is no ambiguity, specifying the picture name suffices (just like in the base
system):
SetPropChar ("Start Picture", "Text1", "Text", "Hello, here
is a text");
Otherwise, the addressing can be performed independent of the picture name
either with an empty string or lpszPictureName = "/".
Example:
SetPropChar ("", "Text1", "Text", "Hello, here is a text");
or
SetPropChar ("/", "Text1", "Text", "Hello, here is a text");
WinCC Web Navigator

C79000-G8276-C522-01
61
04.01
Addressing of an Object in the Parent Picture

If there is no ambiguity, specifying the parent picture name suffices (just like in the
base system):
SetPropChar ("Picture1", "Text1", "Text", "Hello, here is a
text");
Otherwise, the addressing can be performed independent of the picture name with
lpszPictureName = "../".
Example:
SetPropChar ("../", "Text1", "Text", "Hello, here is a
text");
Picture in a Picture Window

If the object to be addressed is located in the picture of a picture window ("Picture
Window1"), it can be addressed relative to the current picture as follows:
SetPropChar ("./Picture Window1", "Text1", "Text", "Hello,
here is a text");
or, if the Picture Window1 is located in the parent picture:
SetPropChar ("../Picture Window1", "Text1", "Text", "Hello,
here is a text");
or, if the Picture Window1 is located in the basic picture:
SetPropChar ("/Picture Window1", "Text1", "Text", "Hello,
here is a text");
9.6.5
Synchronous Script Functions

Exercise caution when dealing with synchronous script functions such as
"SetTagCharStateWait" that synchronously write a tag and then wait for the result.
Since these calls go to the server in a synchronous manner, frequently calling
these script functions negatively impacts the performance of the client. Through an
Internet connection, such a call may even take several seconds.
Script functions that manipulate objects in the displayed picture are safe, since a
round trip to the server does not take place.

9.6.6
Defining Script Tags local to a Picture

To store picture-specific data in scripts, you should refrain from using data
manager tags in the Web Navigator. These tags - when read or written in scripts always cause a round trip to the server, which is costly in the Internet.
There are several ways to store picture-specific data:
Configuring "invisible" Graphic Objects

By creating invisible graphic objects, you will be able to use the properties of these
invisible objects as picture-specific tags.
An additional advantage is that actions can be performed upon the change of these
stored values.
Example:
Creation of an invisible Text Field
In this case, any text can be conveniently stored in the text property, which can
then be read or written to by any script handler.
In the color properties of the text field, for example, colors can be stored, which are
read or written to by scripts and thus can influence the status of the picture without
requiring a round trip to the server.

Using the WinCC Web Navigator Client
10 Using the WinCC Web Navigator Client

With the WinCC Web Navigator Client, a WinCC project which is running on the
WinCC Server can be viewed, operated and observed. For this reason, it is not
possible to configure the server project
The following functions are available on the WinCC Web Navigator Client:
Displaying WinCC pictures over the intra-/Internet

The Graphics Designer is used to create process images in WinCC. The Web View
Publisher automatically performs the necessary adaptation of the project data
(conversion of WinCC pictures, scripts). The pictures are then capable of running
in the WinCC Web Navigator Client.
The communication between the WinCC Web Navigator Server and Client is
possible here using the HTTPS protocol. In order to protect the system from
unauthorized access, HTTPS should be used.
Accessing Process Tags

Process Tags can be read and written as in WinCC. The process image is supplied
with tag values via the WinCC Explorer. Depending on the users access privileges
in the WinCC Web Administrator, he can either observe or both operate and
observe.
Displaying messages
The existing WinCC message archive and/or message system of the WinCC
Server can be operated and observed on the WinCC Web Navigator Client via the
WinCC Alarm Control. It is not possible to execute the "Loop in Alarm" function.
Displaying process values in trends and tables

It is possible to display the process values in trends and tables via the WinCC
Online Trend Control and WinCC Online Table Control from the WinCC Web
Navigator Client. Changes, with regard to the Trend and Table windows, are
possible. It is, however, not possible to configure an individual archive on the Web
Navigator Client as the process value data come exclusively from the archive
system on the WinCC Server.

If a text from the text library is changed on the WinCC Server while in runtime, it
may, under certain circumstances, not automatically be detected by the WinCC
Web Navigator Client. The Internet Explorer stores the pictures in its cache. The
cache is a special memory area in which the contents of frequently used objects,
e.g. Internet pages, are stored. In order to update the displayed pictures, the
picture must be reloaded by using the Reload icon.

WinCC Web Navigator and WinCC Guardian
13 WinCC Web Navigator and WinCC Guardian

The "WinCC Guardian" option package is used, among other things, to show live
video images of your automation system within WinCC pictures.
These live video images can also be shown on remote computer stations by
employing streaming technology. When combining both option packages, it is
possible to show streaming images via the Intranet/Internet.
For configuration details, please refer to the WinCC Guardian documentation.

Important for the WinCC Web Navigator Server is the creation of a Web folder
named "WinCCMediaShare". In this folder, the Guardian media files (bitmaps,
AVIs) are stored.
During the installation of the WinCC Guardian Network Edition, this folder is
created automatically. When running the WinCC Web Navigator, make sure that
this virtual folder is set up in the Web folder of the WinCC Web Navigator and is
activated.
In order to show streaming video images, the WinCC Web Navigator Client
requires the Camera Viewer setup of the WinCC Guardian to be run.

Using the Terminal Services for the WinCC Web Navigator
14 Using the Terminal Services for the WinCC

Web Navigator
Introduction
The terminal services of Windows 2000 Server give multiple thin clients access to
the desktop of a Windows 2000 server. On the server, various applications such as
WinCC are run. With the terminal services, only the user interface of the application
is transmitted to the clients. Each clients keyboard inputs and mouse operations
are returned back to the server.
The advantages of this method include:
Using a robust hardware for the clients, without fan or harddisk, e.g. in dusty
environment.
Using mobile clients with limited power supply (Handhelds, Palmtops).
All applications are running on the server in a save environment.
Easier and more centralized administration and system maintenance.
Support of different operating systems (e.g. Windows CE, Linux, Windows 3.1
).
Web Navigator Client V1.1 is released for Windows 2000 Terminal Services with a
maximum of 25 sessions each terminal server.
The Web Navigator Client is build in a "THIN"-structure. That means, that the
application, which is multiple executed on the terminal server (e.g. Web Navigator)
is "thin" with respect to demands for the hardware.
WinCC Web Navigator

Terminal services are performed on the server in two modes:
76
In the application server mode, the terminal services are used to forward
Windows programs and the desktop to a network server. In this case, the
terminal services can also transmit desktop applications to computers that
normally do not run Windows.
In the remote administration mode, the terminal services allow a server to be

managed from any location on the network.

The processor and memory requirements grow linearly,
i.e. when using twice the number of clients, the number
of processors (max. 4) and the amount of memory
(approx. 40 MB per client) need to be doubled as well.
Other:
If many users access the server, a high-performance

network card should be employed.
ISA bus systems should not be used, but instead EIDE
or PCI.
Terminal Services Clients

14.2.1 Activation of the Terminal Services on Windows 2000 Server

The terminal services can be activated in two different modes.
1. Remote Administration Mode: In this mode, the terminal services allow a
remote access to a server from any location on the network. In this mode, the
programs to be used can be installed before or after activating the terminal
services. The terminal services licensing needs not to be activated.
2. Application Server Mode: In this mode, Windows programs can be distributed
safely and effectively using a network server. The programs to be used with
the terminal services should be installed after activating the terminal services,
since the terminal services register these programs for multi-user access and
provide improved management.
For this example, the application server mode is required, which is activated as
follows:
Insert the "Windows 2000 Server" CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the
server.

15.1 Internet Information Server
15.1.1 An overview of the highlights
Optimized system availability through failure safety (24/7/365)
Transacted Active Server Pages (ASP) ensure that processes running in

parallel do not mutually interfere with one another. Script debugging simplifies
the development of such applications
Flexible configuration
Low operating costs through optimized administration tools
Ensured compatibility through strict adherence to common Internet standards
Secure information exchange through effective encryption mechanisms
Individually configurable search functionality
15.1.2 Reliability
Reliability is a key term in modern IT management. It is one of the fundamental
requirements for successful implementation of IT technologies. The possibility to
integrate the Microsoft Transaction Servers into the Microsoft Internet Information
Server 4.0 makes the Windows NT Server the most comprehensive platform for the
development and expansion of dependable and simultaneously scalable Web
applications. The Transaction Server ensures very efficient processing of all data
streams between server and back-end system in a client/server environment.
The Microsoft Internet Information Server guarantees stability through 3 key points:
System security: Various applications can run simultaneously on the Web

Server. If applications from third parties (or even "homemade" applications) are
being run, they may cause problems through incompatibility and may even
result in a system crash. The Internet Information Server makes certain that
such events affect neither other applications nor the system as a whole. If one
of the described applications should crash, it is exited and, if necessary,
restarted.
Transacted Active Server Pages: This new development allows the

developer to design applications which can simultaneously perform multiple
actions. These actions can work towards a common cause or run entirely
independently from one another. In any event, it is ensured that they do not
interfere with one another and cause instability in the system operation. In
particular, this can play a role in database applications.
Script debugging: A special function which makes the programming of

applications using Active Server Pages easier for the developer.

15.1.4.2 Virtual Folder

If your Web site includes files which are either not on the same drive as the root
directory or are not on the same computer and are to be executed on the Internet
Information Server, you must create a virtual folder to accommodate these files in
your Web site. Such a folder can be located on a local drive or on another
computer in the network. If you would like to use a folder on another computer, you
need to specify the UNC name (UNC = Universal Naming Convention) of the folder
and provide a user name and password for access authorization. An overview of all
virtual folders can be found under Virtual Folders.
How to Create a Virtual Folder

1. In the Internet Services Manager, select the Web site which you would like to
add to the folder.
2. Click on the Action button, point to New and then select Virtual Folder.
3. Make the actual settings for new virtual folders with the help of the wizard.

15.1.6 Adding an ISAPI Filter

An ISAPI filter is a program which reacts to events which occur during the
processing of an HTTP request.
In the Properties dialog box of the "WinCCWebsite" Web site, click on the
ISAPI Filters tab.
This table lists the states, names and priority levels of the filter.
Click on "Add" to activate the filter of the Web Navigator (Webfilter.dll). The
program is located in the installation folder
(..\Siemens\WinCC\WebNavigator\Server\Web\bin\..) of the WinCC Web
Navigator.
If the ISAPI filter has been changed (deleted and then relinked), the PC must
be restarted or, as the case may be, the WWW Publishing Service must be
exited and restarted.
Note
While operating the WinCC Web Navigator Server, only one Web project can be
active per computer, since the Web filter is loaded to the storage of the active Web.

15.1.7 Setting the Default Authentication
In the Properties dialog box of the "WinCCWebsite", click on the "Directory

Security" tab. The security functions of the Web Server are set in this tab.
In the "Enable anonymous access and edit the authentication methods for this
resource" entry, click on the "Edit" button.
Activate "Basic Authentication (Password is Sent in Clear Text)". This is a

commonly used method for identifying and authenticating the user in accordance
with the industry standard.
During the course of the non-encrypted authenticity confirmation, the Web browser
prompts the user to enter a valid user account name and the corresponding
password.
Note
When SSL is used, all information, including both the request and the response,
are encrypted. This includes the information for the authenticity confirmation of the
HTTP access (user name/password) as well as all data which are transferred by
the server to the client.

application is found. When you make the root directory of the site the starting point
of an application, each virtual folder and each physical folder contained in the site
can share the directory. Click on Create to make this directory a starting point of an
application (thereby creating an application). To cancel a root directorys
assignment to an application, click on the Remove button.
Enter the name of the application in the Name text field. This name is displayed in
the Properties windows of all folders which are located within the set boundaries of
the given application. Click on the Configure button to define the properties of the

15.2 Troubleshooting and Error Correction
No Communication between the WinCC Web Navigator Server and the Client
If "Content Filtering" is set for an Internet connection from a provider (participating
proxy, firewall), the Web Navigator communication will no longer function. With
content filtering, only certain contents of HTML pages can be displayed. In this
case, the communication is routed via a defined port to an IP address such as the
address of the WinCC server.
At the WinCC Web Navigator Server, its IP address must deactivate the "Smart
Filtering". Filtering also makes no sense, since no viruses or HTML contents
are present on the WinCC server.
The WinCC Web Navigator Server changes the principle of the communication
- the client calls in a defined interval via the registered tags.
If the customer uses the SSL technology, the "Content Smart Filtering" is not
possible, since the data is transmitted encrypted.
Connection Termination
In the case of connection terminations, delays or communication fluctuations which occur intermittently in the Internet environment - it may happen that the
connection to the WinCC Web Server gets severed. In that case, the following
dialog box would be displayed.
Click on the "Yes" button to reestablish the connection and to update the picture.

Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to the WinCC Web Navigator.
WinCC is the first HMI (Integrated Human Machine Interface) software on the
market that truly integrates your system control software with your automation
process. The user-friendly components of WinCC make the integration to new or
existing applications trouble-free.
The Web Navigator package consists of special WinCC Web Navigator Server
components that are installed on the server computer, and of WinCC Web
Navigator Client components that run on the Internet computer.
The pictures displayed on the WinCC Web Navigator Client can be controlled just
like in a normal WinCC system. This makes it possible to control and monitor the
project running on the server computer from any location on earth.
