I use now the attribute "s7_m_c" for this and it works good. But two other attributes got my attention. These are "s7_archive" and "s7_trend". The options for the archive are clear, short or longterm but I can't find the "s7_trend" attribute in the help files. Anyway, WinCC is adding nothing into the Tag Logging so it's not working. Is this an option only for PCS7? Or can I let WinCC automatically generate tags into the tag-logging? If yes, how? What are the attributes and what options should I fill in to them? Thanks in advance, Kibosh
