calling tags is very easy.

colors and animations also do the required tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SIMATIC WinCC?

- Disconnecting server if you going to update the screens.

Although there is an option to update by updating using changes only, but this option easy to b malfunction and forces to entier download which require the server off.

- system log file is not easy to understand more declarations need to be added to understand the failure causes.

- deploying the changes takes much time other systems do the same action with no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
