Hello, 

I am new in WinCC PCS7. I create new tag and already archieve enabled. If i created trend online with the new tag it shows normal and configurable. But in trend tab (in MonAnl faceplate), it shows only realtime trend. How to configure it.

Thanks.

Hi

Can you please explain your problem a little in more details, may be with screenshots too?

The MonAnL blocks displays some of the trend already which are configured in the block icon. These tags belong to MonAnL function block

Do you want to display some other tag which does not belong to MonAnL into it's Trend view?

or you want to see the Archived value of these configured trends?

If yes, then I think you can press the below button

 thanks Harry ji, yes by default the trend is online. So if i click that button, it back to archived value.

If you want it to default to the archive tags and not have to hit the button each time, append ";1" to the end of the TrendPictureName attribute in the Trends section of your block icons. 

example: "@pg_apl_trendMonAnL.pdl" becomes "@pg_apl_trendMonAnL.pdl;1"

Do it in the library to apply it to your whole project for all block icons (you have to edit each one).

If you have some tags that don't have tag logging turned on though, be advised that this will make you have to switch back on online view for it to work.  So you may need to customize your block icons 1 by 1.

 Thanks RVS.wick it works now. But can you tell me more about the steps how to do it in the library if i need that to apply in whole project ?.

Make the edits described earlier to each block icon on the @PCS7TypicalsV9...pdl 

or create alternate copies of the block icons you use and store them in a @PCS7Tyicalsv9custom...pdl (or whatever you want to call it) and save them with new names.

e.g. MonAnL/1 > MonAnL/1h (1h = 1 with history trend)

If you just change all the standard ones then you rerun block icon generation for your project and they all update.

If you make copies so you can have both sets, then change all the block icon instances in CFC to the corresponding new block icon names and rerun block icon generation.

The best time to do this change is at the beginning of the project but it's not always the case.

Keep in mind after a version update you have to remake these template edits to ensure all new functionalities of block icons are intact.
