Uhmmm, Because I didn't know excactly how to use the import-export assistent. And you'll need a master lib. but I have a single project. I thought that is was a lot of trouble to use the import-export. |

Hi Sandor-CRX, yes, you need master data library to use IEA that means you need convert your single project into multiproject. But you need separate license also to use IEA. IEA permit you to create a "process tag" or "model" to replicate fast for all your I/O, what you have to do is export master "model" in IEA files (it looks like excel) and change one by one all I/O address/symbolic into this file (and other few fields). By the way, there is no automatic way (or wizard) to change from old version "module drivers" to new version "channel drives"....you have to do manually or by IEA . P.S.: PCS7 v7 doesn't support "module drivers" any more (you can use them untill PCS7 v6) Regards |

Hello CBO, Thanks for your clear explanation. I think I stick just to my method. That is, create a template CFC with drivers and copy it/change name. It matters that the factory is running. And when it doest, I always can update the softwareprogram. |

Hello, Can somebody give me an review about the way I defined my I/O? During compiling I got a warning that there were too many blocks in the OB. I have like 16 CFC charts with only driver blocks. I didn't use the IEA because I thought this was easier en weren't too comfortable with master libraryand multiproject (I have single).. Please take a look... Thank you Regards, |

Hi, maybe youhave too many instances in a runtime group. You need to create some more groups, I think. look here: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/771569 regards MichS |

I'msorry for not making myself clear... What I need to know is that I won't get any problems because I defined my I/O like in the attached picture. It seems so ackward to put 16 driver blocks in one sheet. ThenI was wondering if that is alright. Because if I have a CFC chart where I want to control a motor, instead of putting the driver blocks in their own CFC, I can put the driver blocks in the CFC chart controlling the motor. That way, the Runtime groups are less... Or doesn't it really matter, cause the data size is still the same.... How do I need to intepretate that..? |
