Hi Mobina, Where did you change the faceplates? You should do this on your project directory, which is located on your ES. <project directory>\wincproj\<OS name>\GraCS The faceplates are located in the GraCS folder. When you change them, these are copied to the OS during a download OS. I think you changed the faceplates on the OS server itself, not in the ES project. It will work on the server, but during a download, the ES offline project of the OS is copied to the OS server and all changes are overwritten. Is this correct? |

Can you give me the exact names of the faceplates (with extension .pdl) that you have changed? If you change faceplates, by creating a copy of the original ones, which you then change...you also have change some attributes inside the faceplate objects that you must change as well. If you open @PG_MEAS_MON.pdl, then inside this picture is an object, which has an attribute which refers to @PG_MEAS_MON_STANDARD.pdl. So, if you gave a new name like: "@PG_MEAS_MON_NEW_STANDARD", than you have to change this name also in the object, otherwise when you click on the MEAS_MON block icon, the original faceplate file: "@PG_MEAS_MON_STANDARD" is still being opened. Maybe the problem lies there....An OS compile is not responsible for changing faceplates back to the original. This can only be done by the OS Project Editor. |

Hello, if you change or create new faceplates consider the "PCS 7 Libraries APL Style Guide". When you consider the rules, described in this document, your faceplates can updated to newer version without problems. See chapter 4 "Specifications for faceplates" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59062870 |
