Hi, In the APL library, the unit of measure is defined at the input: "XXX_Unit" where XXX is the name of a variable like PV_Unit. The variable is of type INT. The system checks the value with an XML file and thus a unit of measure is displayed. In case value: 1001 is set, the unit of measure displayed is Celsius. You can use enumeration values set in the Shared Declarations, but you have to set the XXX_Unit to value: "0". In this case the unit of measure is taken from the parameter attribute: "S7_Unit". You can however create your own XML file with custom unit of measure. You can create a maximum of 199 unit of measure defined in the range 1-199. The name of the XML should be called: "APLCustomerUnits.xml" and should be placed in the project path in the folder "GraCS" on both server(s) and client(s). Below is an example to describe the content of the XML file APLCustomerUnits.xml. Good luck, if anything is unclear please let me know!

Hi svbodhe, you can use the editor to create the xml. Just copy the source code from the manual PCS 7 Advanced Process Library at section Selecting a unit of measure and save it with the name "APLCustomerUnits.xml". The "Unit id" is for the number that you select in the CFC (for example the number 1342 is for percent %). You can define your own units in the range 1 to 199 in the XML file. The "Name lcid" is code for WinCC and should not changed. You only have to replace the "German1", "English1", "Spanish1", "French1", ... with the symbols you want to show is the OS. For a second customer-specific units you have to replace the "German2", "English2", "Spanish2", "French2", ... . With regards |

Create XML file for user defined units. Then copy this XML to all servers & clients(In Gracs folder). You are done then! |
