WinCC OA Panel Topology Framework

Gives your SCADA project a structured face. This will modernize its look and feel, taking the visual design and user experience to the next level through smart navigation, faceplate mechanisms, Alarm monitoring, and intuitive screen layouts.

Overview

The WinCC OA Panel Topology Framework provides a ready-to-use structure for integrating WinCC OA project's panels. With its modular design, the framework provides you with:

• A smart navigation mechanism

• A smart faceplate mechanism

• Alarm Monitoring

• Easy panel integration

This clean integration of SCADA functions enhances maintainability and speeds up project development.

Version: WinCC OA 3.20

Application Name: WinCC OA Panel Topology Framework

Key Features

Modular Topology Structure

SCADA projects can be built using this modular and scalable framework. The WinCC OA Panel Topology Framework offers predefined sections that promote consistency, maintainability, and engineering efficiency.

Figure 1 – Topology Layout Overview

The Framework consists of five main parts:

1. Modern Navigation Bar

   Provides an easy and smooth structured and centralized navigation mechanism across all the project's panels.

3. Main Panel Area

   Displays the panels' content dynamically based on navigation or user actions.

4. Info- and Alarming Panel

   Integrates the system information and a dedicated alarm row for effective monitoring and controlling of the system alarms.

5. Available in WinCC OA Panel Topology Templates

   The WinCC OA Panel Topology Framework can be selected directly from the Panel Topology configuration, like standard Panel Topology Templates.

For the HowTo of Implementation, Installation and Usage, please refer to the datasheet available in the Content section with the name: “WinCCOAFrameworkAppExample_V1.1.pdf”.

Conclusion

The WinCC OA Panel Topology Framework is your entry point to building clean, navigable, and operator-friendly SCADA interfaces. Its modularity and visual consistency make it ideal for fast engineering, efficient maintenance, and scalable use.
