Good afternoon everybody. I installed the Update 1 to TIA V18, and I have been testing the new "Input finished" event but seems is not working. 

I tested it in a comfort panel (previously I updated the firmware) and with the runtime simulation in the PC and it didn't work either way.

Have any of you managed to get it to work?

Thanks a lot.

Hi christopherreyes,

Have you updated the device version to 18.0.0.1? The event should only work with that version. However, in Engineering it seems to be available without this restriction.

However, to use it with a Unified Comfort Panel, you will have to wait until Update 1 is released for the panels.

Kind regards

 Hi Stefan, yes I have to wait the release of update 1 for the panels. For this reason I tried with the runtime simulator in the browser of my PC.

Did you test this event? 

Thank you!

Hi christopherreyes,

Yes, I have tested the event and it works. I had to install SIMATIC WinCC Unified PC, V18.0 Upd1 SR1 to test it in simulation.

 Hi Stefan, I have installed that update and I tested the "Input finished" event with a WinCC Unified PC RT and I still can't get it to work. I'm starting to think that maybe I don't understand when the event is executed. From my understanding, the event is executed when, for example, you press the "enter" key after entering a value in an IO Field.

Could you share an example project with me?

Thank once again.

Hi christopherreyes,

In the attached ZIP file you will find the project I tested with and a video showing the results. It's a very simple HMI project with only one internal variable, one IO field and a circle next to this field. When a new value is entered into the field, the color of the circle changes.

Kind regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan, I appreciate so much your involvement.

I tried to test your project but I can't get it to work.

I have installed SIMATIC WinCC Unified PC Runtime V18.0 Upd1 SR1 (03/2023). So, the update is not working. Do you know what could be happening?

Thanks!

Hi christopherreyes,

Below are the details for the two updates I installed on my test system. Please compare the release information with yours.

Please post all your release information for products with 'WinCC' in the name.

Maybe the problem is related to some older versions. Please note that since I'm testing with virtual machines, I don't have V17 or earlier on my system (except SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced Simulation).

Kind regards

 Hi Stefan, I checked in TIA Administrator and seems I have the same versions as you.

Where did you check your software installed?

Thank you!

Hi christopherreyes,

christopherreyes

Where did you check your software installed?

In TIA Portal, use the "Help > Installed Software…" menu to see an overview of the software. Scrolling down you will find the link "Detailed information about installed software" which will take you to another window where you can see some more detailed lists. You can also export all lists from there.

Do you have older versions of TIA Portal (V17, V16, …) installed in parallel?

Kind regards
Stefan

 Oh I didn't know that way to check the installed software. I attach a screenshoot of this view.

I had installed TIA V17 but, supposedly, I uninstalled everything.

Thank you so much!

Hi christopherreyes,

I'm afraid you have an incorrect installation of TIA Portal. I just finished a test on a virtual machine that already had V17 installed. I also installed V18 and Update 1 and the event still works. Of course, this is different from your system because you uninstalled V17, but as long as you did the uninstall before installing V18, I expect it to work correctly.

So you should probably submit a support request for further assistance.

Kind regards
Stefan
