Dear ashadako, From what you said, i guess you are not using your plant hierarchy as the process pictures and overview button right? For a PCS 7 project, normally we derive the process pictures automatically by OS compilation or create block icon function. To do this, you would need to plan your plant hierarchy well as it will become the overview of your HMI. Then put those "cfc " chart / process tag chart into the respective folder. Set correct block icon in the block properties, normally horizontal valve is = 1 or blank, vertical = 2. Then do os compilation. The block icon should be generated on the process graphics automatically. I will attach a pdf guideline for you tomorrow as reference. |

Here you go. Make sure you spend some time, read through these documents. Then you will understand how the block icon generated automatically and placed in the graphic without the need for you to move the block icon manually. The overview button i mentioned is in your @Overview1.pdl. Overview Area. You can search in the documents. |

By default, the AS-OS mechanism will look for the block type with the block icon ticked in you CFC, matching the block icon "Type" in your @pcs7typicalsxxxx (eg. @pcs7typicalsAPLV8.pdl) and place the block icon in the @pcs7typicalsAPLV8 in your process pictures and placed in the hierarchy folder. Now you wanna generate the same block icon with the same tag in other pictures. The system can only generate one block icon for you, and delete the rest of the block icon, that found in your process pictures. If the block icon in the @pcs7typicalsAPLV8 is @VlvL/1 for Vlv001, it will look for Vlv001 that having the same Type with Vlv001, and keep only one block icon across the OS server. (Extra Info) If the block icon in the @pcs7typicalsAPLV8 is @@VlvL/1, it will look for the @@VlvL/1 type in the process pictures and keep only one unit in the Server. If you do not want the system to delete the block icon that you manually placed, you have to change the "Type" to a different name, either removing the "@" or adding "@". This is to let the system know , "Do Not Delete The Block Icon". |
