WinCC OA .Net (C#) Integration “Enterprise Service Bus”

C# prototype library for WinCC OA communication. For testing i created C# clients with gauges and a chart. Those clients are connected to WinCC OA datapoints (dpConnect, dpQueryConnect, dpGet, dpSet, …) For testing purposes i started some clients to see how it works with many clients and change rates of about 100 values/second…

 

How to use “server side database access” (sdb.ctl) for WinCC OA

The sdb.ctl is a client library which can be used to access relational databases from the WinCC OA client without the need to install any database client software at the client. The connection to the relational database is handled by the WinCC OA server. The client communicates with the WinCC OA server only by data points. The SQL-Statements are transferred by data points to a WinCC OA control, this control executes the SQL-Statements and sends back the result to the client by data points.

Downtime Query WinCC OA with RDB-Manager…

Example how to query the downtime of a device which has an alert configuration on the state of the machine (state 0/1):

select element_name, sum(downtime) downtime from (
select e.element_name,
h.ts,
h.VALUE_NUMBER,
h.direction,
case
when h.DIRECTION = 0 then
CAST((h.ts + 0) - ((lag(h.ts, 1, h.ts) OVER(ORDER BY ts)) + 0) AS FLOAT)*24*60*60
else
null
end as downtime
from elements e
join alerthistory h
on e.element_id = h.ELEMENT_ID
where e.element_name like
'Device_%.Status'
and ts between to_date('01.07.2014','DD.MM.YYYY') and to_date('31.07.2014','DD.MM.YYYY')
) group by element_name
