Configuring WinCC Unified Runtime as a System

for SIMATIC Unified AR

Integrating WinCC Runtime as a system in Unified AR allows you to retrieve and display real-time information about the state of machines and plants using AR technology.
To achieve this, WinCC Unified Runtime PC is configured for display in the Unified AR app to be shown as screens within individual compositions.

Prerequisites

Please note the following prerequisites.

WinCC Unified

Notice System requirements SIMATIC HMI WinCC Unified supports integration in SIMATIC Unified AR starting from V18.2.

Ensure the following preparations are made:

A user with a password is set up in the TIA Portal and transferred to a Unified Runtime accordingly. A local UMC (user management component) is set up and linked to WinCC Unified.
You have created and configured a Unified Runtime PC device (PC Systems / HMI Application / SIMATIC WinCC Unified Runtime) in the TIA Portal.
- For this device, one or more users are configured and transferred to the Unified Runtime via “Security Settings / Users & Roles”.
- Users in the TIA Portal are linked to the corresponding WinCC Unified role (e.g., Admin, Operator, or Monitor) and transferred to the Unified Runtime.
The project is loaded onto the device and is active in Runtime. Please refer to the compiling and loading documentation for more information.

- Option 1: Enable the “Allow New” switch. When scanning the barcode, a “Add Composition” tile will appear. Tap on the tile to automatically create a new composition. Give the composition a name.
- Option 2: Create a new composition using the “plus” symbol and assign a name. By entering any barcode payload, a barcode will be automatically generated and linked to the composition.
Scroll down and select “Add Screen”. You will be taken to the Screen Details.
In the Screen Details, select “Choose System” at the top. Choose “Add System”. Alternatively, you can select an already linked system.
In the system settings, select a system of type “WinCC Unified RT”.
Enter the host or IP address, or the URL of the running WinCC Unified Runtime.
Proceed with entering the credentials (username and password) of the WinCC Unified Runtime.
Click on “Test Connection”. A certificate viewer will appear. Decide whether to trust the certificate.
After connecting a Unified RT system, you can now enter the screen name and define additional settings.
In the Screen Details, define further settings for your screen, such as height, width, or position.
