Hi, I have installed a Library of general functions (LGF) for SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) and SIMATIC S7-1200 / S7-1500 for TIA v.16. I must say that this is my first such lib installation. I extracted a downloaded zip to the new folder and installed navigating to the LGF.al16 file from here: It seems that it is installed well because I could compile the whole program without errors and get the tooltips when hover over the FB pins. However, if I select the block and press Ctrl-F1, the help is opened in a (default) browser. 1. I expect that help for LGF functions is opened in the global help window ("Information system") of TIA instead in the browser. Is it possible at all? Thank you in advance. |

If you want or need TIA Portal library help content to open in the built-in Help system, you will need to convert PDF help files into TIA Portal compatible help content. I do not recommend spending (wasting) time on that activity, but if you are not allowed to have a browser installed on your TIA Portal PG/PC, that is an option. You can use your favorite search engine on how to convert PDF help content into Windows / TIA Portal Help content. Refer to TIA Portal's built-in help that explains how the various types of library "help" content can be provided and used.
