Trending on WinCC RT Professional

I want to show status of a BOOL in a trend graph. I tried setting the Style to Time stamp but I gives me a value between 0.0 and 1.0? Do you have a solution for this?

Hello Hann Ari,

I think I found a solution for you.

• Select your trend control.
• Go to Properties > Trends.
• Change the setting in the column "Style" in the rows of your bool tags:
• In the new window, under "General" change the "Style" from "Interpolated" to "Stepped".

Hi H.J.

Thanks for the reply.

That’s one way of doing it but I was hoping that it can be seen as a time stamp (label in the chart) instead of an actual graph jumping from 0 to 1.

One of the problems whit that is that if I have many BOOLs than they will lay on top of each other and another problem is that in my other values in the trend are very high values then it will be hard seeing that the small change on the BOOLs.

Can anyone tell what Style: Time stamp is and how it is used?

Hello HannAri,

how about using two value axes instead of one?
The first one could be 0 to 1,1 and the second for the higher values.
You could position one on the right side of the diagram.

But I understand your problem. Unfortunatedly I can't tell you more about time stamps.
