HMI Structure tag & C-Script

Hello All!

I have to create HMI project (only Vizu) on WinCC Comfort/Advance V13. Panel Comfort TP 1900. It's my first time... :P I worked on WinCC 7.0 only and I had possibility to create structure tag.

Could I create structure on WinCC V13 Comfort/Advance? Has anybody got good manual to vizualization only?

Could I write script in ANSI-C (like on WinCC 7.0)? Or VBS only?

Hello sjm_go,

the WinCC Advanced manual is largely about visualization, especially the chapter "Visualize processes": https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109091876/74027009547

You can only use VBS in WinCC Advanced, you can use C in projects for WinCC Runtime Professional.
Chapter on VBS: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109091876/58678818187

Stuctured tags are possible with HMI UDTs or PLC UDTs (WinCC Advanced V13 SP1), which connect to the PLC tags datatype directly.

Hello sjm_go

In WinCC comfort/advanced you can only use VB Script, no C Script.

Look here is a FAQ to use the PLC UDT direkt on Faceplates in WinCC V13 SP1:

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/68014632

but you can use a struct with absolute adressing. Its called "HMI UDT"

-> Go to the Library to Project library-> add new type-> User Data Type -> Panels/WinCCRuntime Advanced

But it works a little bit defferent to WinCC Scada Classic.

In WinCC Comfort you can create a faceplate and use direct an instance of the HMI UDT at the interface.

You do not work with Prefixes like in WinCC Scada.

Hi,

Thanks for yours response. It is very helpfull for me.

@Murof: 

You wrote: "You do not work with Prefixes like in WinCC Scada." I need to create a lot of tags with .suffix... Can I do this in WinCC Adv V13? Or WinCC Pro?? If not, I should export tag to .csv, do everything manual and import to WinCC...?
