Harlo Argentmike, I think of one method, hope it is useful for you. You may use Process Object View (POV), 1. since SimOn is already a parameter, you may direct sort using POV by using I/O name (click on your user project). Then put POV online, and set the column of "monitor" tab, then you will be able to see all the Simon value in your user project. 2. you may also right click, export to csv file, then sort using microsoft excel. Hope it helps. Thanks. |
Please give me 5 stars Rating if my post is helpful for you. :) |

Hi agentmike, I hope you are using PCS7 V8.2 or higher, if so I have something nice for you: Process tag browser-> Available by default, only valid for APL blocks. You can open the tag browser in WinCC runtime. You can select an operator area or the whole process cell and then you can select which status you want to monitor. The system will show which block name, what type (MotL or VlvL or...), the state it is in and which area the CM is located. You can select a variety of states like automatic, manual, simulation, error, bypass, maintenance, forced state, interlock active etc. Even combinations are possible. You then have a nice overview, which can be defined per area if you want. If you make a print job, then I think your done. You don't have to configure the tag browser which is nice. See the attachment for an impression of the tag browser in runtime. |

Hi argentmike, For monitoring blocks those are in simulation mode ON, you can use WinCC run time -> PCS 7 measuring point browser feature. You can sort blocks depending on signal status, operating modes, setpoint, interlock enabled/disabled etc. Please find attached video showing the steps for the same. Thanks.

Hi argentmike, That is unfortunate.... Also a shame is that the APL library does not feature a SimAct signal on the output. So you can't just simply use an output of the block like the AutAct. What you can do is use the Status signal output of a block and change it from DWORD to BOOL and find which bit is indicating the simulation active. You can find which bit it is in the helpfile of the APL library.You can use this signal to create a function to show which object is in simulation. Another solution would be the following: When a block is in simulation, the signal status of outputs receive the value 16#60 indicating the value is simulated. For a valve, you can use FbkOpenOut#ST and compare the #ST for 16#60 (which means simulation). For a MotL, you can use the FbkRun#ST for example. In order to get the #ST value, you must use block: StruDiIn block for digital values. What you do is connect the FbkOpenOut to the In and you receive the #Value and #ST separately. You can then use this #ST to signal if a block is in simulation in a function you can create yourself. |
