Rectangle in F(x) trend

Hie to all

I am using a TP 700 comfort HMI and SIemens S7 1200 PLC . I am plotting f(x) trend with 100 ms update rate.

My customer is asking to put a rectangle on f(x) trend, so that he will be aware of the plot area.

I tried the same but i am not able to put any object on f(x) trend in Runtime. so please let me know wheather its possible to make a rectangle on f(x) trend.

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

interesting question......

I tried for about ten minutes without results... it seems that it is not possible........

Look also here.........jc44627 is waiting for a tia update...

Then I try the same with winccflexible and KTP600...... in runtime rectangle is displayed over trend.

Last hope is that some other user knows some workaround........ or we have to wait tia v14.

Best Regards

Hello javed,

It seems that TP 700 have this function (if you use this) have a look:

6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0 - Product Details - Industry Mall - Siemens WW

Complex image objects

● Number of complex objects per screen 20

● f(x) trend view        Yes

I have not tried it yet

Still same issue. Anyone please give some suggestions.

Hello javed88,

it's a normal behavior in WinCC Advanced:

• "In the WinCC Runtime Advanced Controls, why are the Symbolic I/O field and the Graphic I/O field in the foreground although they are assigned to a lower layer?"

There is a workaround for WinCC Professional, but you can't use it in Advanced, because it uses screen windows.

I don't know a workaround in WinCC Advanced. Even putting the rectangle and/or the control into a faceplate together with another control doesn't help. Pop-ups can't be turned transparent.

Would it work for you if you change the axis values (dynamically), so the whole visible area is the plotting area (and with another change of the axis values you can go back to an overview view)?

Hi Javed88,

i have same problem. Did u manage to do this?

if you got it. Could you help me please?
