Well, I don't think this is possible or at least not easy to do... APL is using a lot of C-scripts and VB scripts in the block icons and faceplates. To name a few: - APL_OpenFaceplate - APL_UpdatePermission - APL_ChangeView For starters, you will have to get these scripts in your project. But it could be you are missing some DLL's, which are not included in the S7 installation. Maybe you can take a look at the following document. This document describes the way you can use a PCS7 project with S7300 units and show APL style of block icons/faceplates using the structure of APL blocks in the S7300. |

Let's try another route... You have copied a block icon and changed the Servername. Do you know that the Servername must be equal to the faceplate names? For instance....you have a Servername entered like this: "PCS7 YourCustomBlock Control". The faceplate your are using must have the following names: - @PG_YourCustomBlock.pdl - @PG_YourCustomBlock_STANDARD.pdl - @PG_YourCustomBlock_LIMIT.pdl - @PG_YourCustomBlock_OVERVIEW.pdl - etc... Did you also change the necessary parameters according to the APL Styleguide? For instance, in faceplate file: "@PG_YourCustomBlock.pdl", you must change in object @Faceplate, the following attribute: Under Texts, change FirstView property to: "@PG_YourCustomBlock_STANDARD to open the correct faceplate. There are several things you must do as well. See my second post in the following topic for all necessary changes. Nonetheless, the scripts are calling several DLL's. It could be that these DLL files are missing from your installation. If nothing works, try using the tool: "apdiag.exe"-->C:/Program Files(x86)'/Siemens/WinCC/utools/apdiag.exe Open the tool and open an output window. All errors and printf commands are now shown in the output window when called. Click on the icon with the problem and report back the error message (if there are any). Maybe we can take a look and see where the problem lies. |

For using PCS 7 and S7-300 together, Siemens provides the Industry Library. In this Library you find blocks incl. motor block for S7-300 CPUs. |
