jrperezgutierrez Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	hello everyone, how can I link a DB with a faceplate without it being variable to variable? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from WinCC Unified – TIP’s for Faceplate.

So you can link this single variable (but that represent all desired data) to you faceplate.
