IO Field transparancy issue at Runtime for TIA WinCC Professional V13

All,

I am using TIA WinCC Professional V13 update7 for generating PC-Station.

For any IO field, when giving the filed as transparent in engineering software it does appear. But when stated simulation the background color of the IO filed is generating automatically.

Please find attached the images as ES (engineering software) picture and RT (Runtime) picture.

How can i make the IO field transparent in RT.

Thanks,

RBM

Hello RBM,

I checked the transparency of an IO-field in WinCC Professional SP1, Update 8.

I encountered no problem at all.

So it might be a problem that was solved by SP1 ore one of the following updates.

The only time it was greyed was without a live Connection to the PLC, but then you would have the yellow rectangle warning.

(How is your IO-field configured? Output? Input/Output?
In WinCC Advanced an IO-field can only be in invisible if ist "Output" only, but that's a matter of a quite different runtime and is an ES Setting, nothing that just happens during RT.)

Can you update to SP1?

Hello RBM,

 I have installed SP1 update7

IO field is Output. But still transparency is not obtained. Any other setting to be done?

Hello RBM,

I'd suggest to install Update 8.

Your settings seem fine as far as I can tell from the screenshots.

I wasn't able to recreate a non-transparent IO-field with your known settings.
Maybe check the following:

• deactivate "Runtime settings > Screens > General > Use WinCC classic design runtime"
• in the IO-field properties: "Style/Design > Settings" you can set the transparency to "0", because it only matters with visible, solid background.
  
  
• As a nearly-workaround you could set the last setting to 99% and the background to the light grey colour of the object beneath. Now it should look nearly transparent.

Use "Compile > Software (rebuild all)" if you enconter unexpected behaviour during runtime simulation and start the runtime simulation again afterwards.

All,

I tried all options suggested but wasnt working. I reinstalled TIA and now the problem is solved

rgds,
