Hello all,

I am looking for a way to automatically create structure tags for PCS7 blocks in winCC on compile. When I just enable the OCM property, the tags don't seem to create. When I enable S7_m_c property for each of the block elements, the tags create, but they'll be individual tags, not a structure.

Could someone please advise.

Thank you in advance, 

TKiiza 

Hi Oreca,

Not sure I understand. Do I have to set both the s7_m_c and s7_xm_c to true for each of the block parameters?

Thanks again.

Where do i set the S7_xm_c property?

My question is possibly not clear enough. I am trying to use the PCS7 standard APL faceplates for the first time. I have used the faceplates before but the system was already set up and I did not understand what initial configurations need to be done for the blocks to create block icons and structure tags that can be linked to the typical APL faceplates.

If there is a step by step guide that you could please refer me to, would be very helpful.

Thanks again

The SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 APL Style Guide is pretty comprehensive for explaining how the properties needs to be set.
