Cannot get PID-faceplate to work (V13, SP1, Upd 7, Comfort)

Hi!

I am currently using faceplates from:

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/66839614/example-blocks-for-wincc-(tia-portal)-and-step-7-(tia-portal)-for-s7-1200-and-s7-1500-with-scl?dti=0&lc=en-WW

I managed to use Analouge and Motor templates. They seem to work fine.

Tried to add the PID-faceplate and I got a lot of errors. The weird part is that the compiler seems to complain about stuff inside the faceplate. 

"Tag sRet not defined"

"Tag i_Mode not defined" and so on...

How come I get these errors?

Hi ChristophD!

I drag and drop the PID from the library to my program blocks, call for FB670 and hit compile.

The "PID" in Technology Objects is generated automatically after I compile.

But, it seems like there is something wrong in the library since the tags from the error messages are not in the "PID".... Since they are generated they should match the tags in FB670.

Or am I doing something wrong here?

It would really help me out if someone can download this library and see if they can get it to work somehow. Thanks!

Which PID did you choose?

If I select "PID_Compact" I will not get the setup to match the faceplate.

Non of the others seems to have a matching set...

Or is there another way to create it manually? The faceplate should be able to create these automatically...

Did you get the faceplate to work properly when you created "PID" manually?

Thanks!

Hello AndreasC,

if the error is in the faceplate then the project might be a little corrupted.

One possibility is to send the project to the Siemens technical support, they can initiate a repair.

Other possibility is to open the faceplate in "edit faceplate" mode and save the new version of the faceplate without any changes.

This PIDCtrl object is an older version than PIDCtrlV2. It doesn't use technology objects. So of course none is fitting. That's normal. PIDCtrlV2 does use Technology objects.
I guess there will be a new version of the faceplates for WinCC Advanced V13 SP1 in the future.
