The file ccagent.exe is a part of the program Simatic WinCC. This program was created by Siemens and is applicable to most Windows programs. The Simatic WinCC is composed of linked programs that comprise a total HMI (Human Machine Interface) software suite. Simatic WinCC has their basic software package, as well as an array of add-ons and plug in options which can be downloaded and integrated separately. This program focuses on a visualization process that can be configured according to the user’s preferences. While the program may be heavy in terms of data size (owing to the number of options and add ons), superior engineering allows it to perform smoothly without any strain on the CPU. This software ensures that the user can define his own experience with his devices without any lag in performance. The software is both open and scalable, and will receive relevant updates.
