Hello friends I'm working on a PCS7 V9.1 SP1 project and I have a problem with the color of icons and faceplates. While I use an APL function block like MotL and compile the OS project, the motor's faceplate will be generated with black background color.(Attachment page1). Unlike healthy projects, system pages like "PG_MotL_Standard.pdl" are in black, that might be the reason of faceplates being black.(Attachment page2). In addition, in Project Palette (Computer properties>User interface and design>WinCC standard), there is no APL color palettes.(Attachment page3). The way I created this OS project is similar to other healthy projects that I created in previous versions of PCS7 and I don't know the reason of this problem. I'll be grateful if someone can help me with some idea about the reason of the problem and the solution for that. AttachmentAttachments.pdf (305 Downloads) |

Hi, It looks the project was created in a previous version and not migrated properly or created in a WinCC project instead of PCS7 project. Anyhow, I think the issue can be solved by executing OS project editor in WinCC Explorer. Please enable check mark: "Update palette colors of Advanced Process Library" and select "Complete configuration" (no changes possible). I think it brings back the color palette and other things that may are wrong. See attachment for the screens. AttachmentOSProjectEditor.pdf (310 Downloads) |

Hi, Ok, too bad. It could be that there is one thing wrong with the installation. Can you make a screenshot of the installed software and what Windows operating system are you using? Did you install old libraries after the PCS7 install? Like AP library V8.2 or something. |

Thanks Oreca I attached the installed software and operating system. I didn't install any other library after PCS7 installation. The strange thing is that my colleague could create a healthy project using this same VMware! The only difference I could realize between the two projects was that in healthy project the OS station is created in the same project as AS, but in corrupted one the OS and AS are in separate projects. Could it be the reason? And what about the licenses? AttachmentSoftware.pdf (315 Downloads) |

Hi, Putting OS and AS in separate projects is basic procedure when working in large projects, that is not the issue. How did you create the OS project? You should insert a SIMATIC PC station and configure a WinCC Application in the station configuration. Please insert a new pc station in your multiproject (create a new project in the multiproject) to see if it works. I suggest making a backup first. Since your colleague has a healthy project on the same VM, it should be a problem in the project. |
