WinCC Basic V13 SP1 – Simple Sample: Real Time Trends

“Simple Samples” are small projects that demonstrate simple features. The target is give a quick overview about the theme and be used as start point for related discussions. Follow there are a short description and the configuration main steps.

Description:

In this simple sample, two trends are displayed on HMI start screen.

Note: Real Time Trends doesn't retain values after HMI Power off. For retain the trends data see “WinCC Basic V13 SP1 – Simple Sample: Historical Data Trends” at https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/br/en/posts/135198/)

Requirements:

WinCC Basic V13 SP1.

Project with a minimum configuration (stop button, tags, etc. ).

Configuration main steps:

• Create two tags (Project tree → HMI → HMI Tags → Default tag table → <add new> - in our project two internal tags, HMI_Tag_1 and HMI_Tag_2 as INT data type)

• As simulation proposes, drag & drop the tags to a screen. IO field will be created (with this it would be possible to input different values to the tags).

• Place on screen the object “Trend view” (Toolbox → controls)

• Configure the Trend view:

  • Trend View → Properties → Trend → <Add new>

  • In the created line, configure: Trend type = Cyclical real time; Source settings = HMI_Tag_1

  • Trend View → Properties → Trend → <Add new>

  • In the created line, configure: Trend type = Cyclical real time; Source settings = HMI_Tag_2
