Win-OS

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Win-OS is the first control and monitoring system for Teleperm M , which was developed on a Windows platform (version 3.1) by a Siemens department in Karlsruhe, but was not part of the official Teleperm M product line. The starting point for the development was a program package Win-TM, which was released in 1992, for the acquisition of process data under Windows .

Win-OS was initially only used as a local operator station in gas turbine systems, its further developments (porting to Windows NT, 2000, XP, client-server technology, redundancy, large quantity structure, etc.) later also as a fully-fledged operator system in larger systems.

The strengths of Win-OS lay primarily in its extremely simple handling, continuous online engineering, simple multilingualism (including Chinese and Cyrillic) and the integration of other Windows programs into the overall functionality.

In the course of the spread of SIMATIC PCS 7 as the current operating system for Teleperm M, Win-OS has lost its importance in recent years.
