WinCC Configuration Studio replaces the functionality of WinCC ConfigurationTool and WinCC
Archive ConfigurationTool.
Conversion to Unicode in WinCC V7.2
Starting from WinCC V7.2, WinCC is Unicode-capable.
● The Asian version contains all functionalities of the European version.
●
Projects created in the Asian version can be executed on a European version and vice
versa. A "License Key USB Hardlock" is a prerequisite for running projects in Asian
languages.
● An WinCC project may contain several languages. The languages do not need to have the
same code page.
– The text library may contain text in languages with different code pages. A text column
is generated accordingly for each language. For this purpose, set a font that contains
all necessary characters.
– You may add different Runtime languages to a WinCC project, regardless of the code
page of these languages. All languages listed in the text library are available in Runtime.
– Process tag names may contain both Chinese and German characters, for example.
You may archive these process tags and view them in Runtime in TagLogging controls.
● Setup contains a project library for all languages.
NOTICE
The source language of a project cannot be set more than once in the migrator
You cannot rectify an incorrect setting of the source language, because a project can be
migrated only once to the version.
Backup the projects and project libraries before you launch migration.
The following must be installed for migration of Asian projects on a European operating
system:
– Asian language support
–
The respective language code page.
The source language of the project must be known and set up for migration.
Exceptions
● Scripting components.
VB Scripts may contain text in a specific language.
The C compiler does not support Unicode. Even though you can save C scripts in Unicode,
for example, the compiler converts them into multi-byte character strings (MBCS).
● Older Active X elements
● Channels, to ensure compatibility with the Channel Development Kit (CDK) and data types
within the PLC.
