Is there any location where I can find "useful" information on how to create custom faceplates? All of the documents I have read have all of the information except what I need. An example of what I am looking for info is: I am working on a faceplate for a mobile device with several motors to control directional movement. I have created a faceplate from scratch and have something that works. However, I would like to take what I have and make it look like a PCS7 or CEMAT motor/group block. I want to have a single image on the main process screen that opens up the control windows. The one major thing I am missing is how to link the structure from that one image to all of the windows that could open up.The example I have works, but I would like to structure it like Siemens, which means (scary) I have to think like them..... See attached for a rough idea.... I have a .pdf file that is supposed to show how to create faceplates, but all it does is show pictures not configuration examples.

Thanks for your response yesterday. I have connected the dots and its making moresense now. I did not see any of this information in documentation (or I might have missed it). The next piece of the puzzle I am working on is creating a custom PCS7 object. You had said in your post that it was created in the @PG_<NAME>_STANDARD.pdl but I think you may have misunderstood my question. "STANDARD" is the main window that opens when you click on the PCS7 object (see attached). The attachement is what I want to create in the end but I'm going to start simple to get all of the linking down first. I have just started digging into this so I should be able answer most of my questions as I go, but if you have any tips or suggestions they are welcome. Thanks.

Now I understand. The "setting" appears lost but is not lost! Click on any of the other options and click back on your original selection. And everytime click on "ignore" on "Generate tag?" pop-up. This used to be a common bug in older WinCC versions. Regards AttachmentDynamicDialog.pdf (240 Downloads) |
