Thanks, Mahesh N Hello Mahesh, During WinCC redundancy configuration some internal tags will be created (Redundancy folder) @RM_MASTER @RM_MASTER_NAME @RM_SERVER_NAME @RM_OFFLINE_UA_NAME It's possible to find information about tags into "WinCC information System" for a full explanation. You have to write a small C script to get the current value from the tag @RM_MASTER_NAME You can do this 1. On the PDL where you want to display the status, Create a circle object with green foreground colour. 2. go to the display option and add a c-action 3. Add this code: #include "apdefap.h" *BOOL _main(char lpszPictureName, char* lpszObjectName, char* lpszPropertyName) { if (strcmp(GetTagChar("@RM_MASTER_NAME"),"SERVER01")==0) return TRUE; else return FALSE;** } "SERVER01" is the name of the server, you need to replace it with the one you are using in ur project. Copy the same thing for server2 and replace its name in the if condition. Hope this helps.

In this case will have to make dynamic tag which will take value from selected server only. Any way I have written the VB script for the same.
