5.6.4 Sm@rtServer
Introduction
With the SIMATIC WinCC Sm@rtServer option, HMI devices communicate with each other via
PROFINET. Sm@rtServer thus enables client/server configurations for distributed operator
stations in a system.
A description of the Sm@rtServer configuration can be found in the online help of WinCC or
in the "WinCC Professional Options" manual.
Requirement
A server HMI device on which the Sm@rtServer has been started is required for client/server
operation via Sm@rtServer.
Operating principle
If the Sm@rtServer has been started on a server HMI device, the Industrial Thin Client can
access the server HMI device via the "Sm@rtServer" connection type. Depending on the
configuration of the Sm@rtServer on the server HMI device, the Industrial Thin Client can
monitor or operate the project on the server HMI device.
Licensing
You do not require any licenses in order to access an HMI device. The SIMATIC WinCC
Sm@rtServer option is license-free as of WinCC V14 (TIA Portal). There can only be a project
compiled with the Sm@rtServer option on the server HMI device you are accessing with the
Industrial Thin Client.
