Does WinCC V8.0 software include both RT and RC capabilities?

Question:

Hello brother, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a project that involves the utilization of SCADAWinCC system software V8.0, RC 2048 (2048 PowerTags)Part No.: 6AV6381-2BP08-0AX0SIEMENS. I am wondering if this software is sufficient to generate a RUNTIME (RT) on the same computer, or if a separate RT license is required. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

"RC" stands for "runtime and configuration," allowing you to operate a runtime on the same computer based on the number of tags permitted by your license. This enables seamless integration and efficient management of your system.

According to JesperMP, "RC" stands for runtime and configuration. This means you can run a runtime on the same computer with the licensed number of tags. Feel free to click to learn more. Thank you for your response.

Hey there! The SCADA WinCC V8.0 should indeed be able to generate RUNTIME (RT) on the same computer, provided that the concerned machine meets necessary specifications for the smooth running of the software. However, it does not include a separate RT license. The base software can support an RT environment, but you would still need to purchase a license for the runtime separately. Hope that clears things up!

Hello! Your project sounds intriguing. Yes, you can indeed generate a RUNTIME (RT) with SCADA WinCC V8.0 on the same computer. This software actually includes the runtime license. However, make sure your computer's hardware and operating system meet the software's requirements for smooth operation. If you're handling large volumes of data or complex operations, it's worthy investing in an optimal system to support it. Best of luck with your project!

Hello there! When it comes to SCADA WinCC software V8.0 in particular, you can indeed generate a RUNTIME on the same computer, and the RC 2048 license should cover that. However, bear in mind that performance may depend on the specifications of your machine and the complexity of your project. If your project is considerably large, consider getting a separate RT license for optimum performance. Again, while not mandatory, it's sometimes encouraged. I'd suggest reaching out to your local Siemens support for the best advice specific to your scenario. Good luck with your project!
