Just tried with V8.0 and seems to work good. 1) Open @pcs7typicals from the graphic designer 2) copy one of the block icons and you edit it by deleting fields which are not necessary for your created FB and like wise you can fields as required for your blocks. 3) Once your FB editing is done, dont forget to make these changes --> a) blockicon--> properties--> system-->type ( should be same as your block name in cfc) , b) blockicon --> properties --> system-->servername (same as that of userdefined faceplate ). Hope this helps. Regards nil

Nih Posts: 24 Rating: (1)	Hi, The solution depends on which version of PCS7 you are using, and whether you are using the APL libray or not. The manuals are available here: https://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/industrial-automation-systems-simatic/en/manual-overview/tech-doc-pcs7/pages/default.aspx?HTTPS=REDIR Look for your version of PCS7, then the 'Programming instructions for Blocks', is helpful. Also the APL Styleguide is essential if its and APL block. If you are using APL and for the first time, set aside about 3 weeks to generate you blocks in the correct format. For none APL blocks its less painful, but only just. I assume you've made your FB and assigned the s7_m_c attribute to the block and the data you want to see.
