Hi all,

   In wincc v13 we can monitor drive space and like tooltip(by putting cursor ) we can see the used and free space. Is there any option to display the used and free space in text format, for further use?

Regards 

Pasanna

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I have already run it ,its working. but i want to access the data to wincc as text , so that it can be used further. (TIA wincc v13 sp1)

Hello Pasanna,

I have two ideas about that. I can't test it right now, but it looks promising.

If I understand the manual (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109096785/36127127307)
correctly on this you can use a VB script to read the following relevant properties:

• Free
• FreePercent
• Total
• Used
• UsedPercent

You can find the syntax and a description if you click on the property.

Alternatively if you select the "memory space view" element in your screen and go to "Properties > Animations > Tag connections" you can add a tag (Integer). I'm not sure though weather this is read/write.

This might not work in simulation. I would try it on a running runtime.

Once you read the integer value you can convert the data type to a string, if you want to use "text". 

PS: Next time please state in your opening post which runtime you are creating the project for. In this case WinCC RT Professional (and the version including at least the servicepack version (V13 SP1?)).
