An I/O field does not wrap the words so it scrolls off the screen and doesn't display. What am I missing here? There must be a simpleway of doingthis using WinCC v11. Help... and Thanks!

Could you describe little bit more how to use it with discrete alarm? I dont see how to connect tag to alarm text. Thank you WinCC Advanced, V13

Lukas Ch Posts: 10 Rating: (0)	Hi, thanks for the answer, I didnt mentioned your answer before. I've done it with script. I'm not sure if your solution would work, I dont need to split fixed text, I need to split text coming from PLC as external Tag. Anyway seems silly to me that there is no option " Text wrap" for text/ IO fields implemented at WinCC. Lukas
