Hi all, Thank you for all the advises. Due to my limited knowledge, after so many tries and I just couldn't figure it out how to use the ".EventState" to display the Area A, W, S. I am trying another block called "Mondi08" (FB1847), I realized this block can do the work that I want too. There is a problem I facing now, as show in attached, Those "value 1 ~ 8" are meaningless to me, can I change those text in anywhere? Thank you very much!

Hello Sytupit, create your own icon in an own template. Just create a new pdl and name it @PCS7Typicals_Xyz (where Xyz can be anything you like and also can be much longer than 3 characters). Copy the block icon from the system template @PCS7Typicals.pdl to your new template @PCS7Typicals_Xyz and make your changes as you like. Additionaly change the attribute 'type' to a new unique number (or alphanumeric code). It should be unique within a structure type (VlvL, MotL, MonDi08 etc.) and also unique over all existing templates (all beginning with @PCS7Typicals). In e.g; when you start with numbers from 100 you will be unique. Then go to CFC to the instance of wich you now want to generate your new block icon. In the properties, below checkbox "create block icon" type your new number. With next OS-compilation your new icon will be created. If you like to get some more background knowledge, see this link. Regarding the color in the faceplate: Unfortunately at the MonDi08 you can't change the color in the faceplate in an other way like you did it. With 'MonDiL' in e.g. you could do it at the block in CFC... But when changing the system-PDLs consider to uncheck them in the OS-Editor when running the same. Otherwise those PDLs are overwritten. Also you should save a backup of theese PDLs somewhere outside of the folder 'GraCS' because there are situations where you can't uncheck them in OS-Editor (e.g. Updates). Best regards... |

Dear AutoGen_1605568, Not sure whether this is the explanation you looking for... In order to change the color in the faceplate, it is quite easy. Just duplicate another block icon, change the properties/color you want. I created a picture for an explanation for you. Hope it answer your questions |
