I've got manual "S7-PDIAG for S7-300 and S7-400 Configuring Process Diagnostics" and follow what is written: Create project, configure hardware, add and open FB10 1. In the first network, enter: Network name: Logic operation Q1.0 in FB 10 Program: A I 0.0 A I 0.1 A I 0.2 A I 0.3 = Q 1.0 2. Save the block via the file menu command File > Save. (....) 2. Output Q1.0 of the example is to be monitored. Address monitoring is therefore to be added for this output. Position the cursor on the instruction line "= Q 1.0" and call Edit > Special Object Properties > Monitoring to open the "Process Monitoring Definitions" dialog box. 3. In the "Templates" box, select "S7-PDIAG: Address Monitoring" and the click on "New". And now i have a problem, becouse "New" button is gray so I cannot add new template. What is the problem? I was trying different ways but is "New" is always gray for all templates. I will be grateful for help. goblin

P-Diag (which is indeed a very powerful and useful tool, more so when combined with ProAgent)is an optional Engineering software package for Step7 and must be purchased seperatly. Just in case you don't have it here is the release note link forthe latest version: S7-PDIAG V5.3 SP3 release note I hope this helps

I thought I have PDIAG installed becouse some windowappears when I clickedSpecial Object Properties > Monitoring. But apparently I haven't. Now I have P-Diag installed and licensed, and I can create templates. Thanks for help again regards goblin
