What do you mean by proof? Which part needs to stay horizontal? You can set the valve to 10 different block icons by standard function (see help). If you want something other then the 10 options, you have to modify it yourself and make a new block icon... |
If I could help you, you can use the RATE button. Thank you. |

Have you seen how the V8.0 blocks icons look in runtime? The grey horizontal valve (closed position) changes to vertical green (open position) |

I really hate this kind of non-functional cosmetic changes.... Again more work on upgrades/updates. |

Welll, Siemens tries to listen to everyone... I personally dont like it either, but the modificiation with the horizontal valve is 15 minutes work.. The reason is that color blind people can see if the valve is opened or not.. Thats not all...In v8.0 they changed the blue arrows on the CTRL_PID parameters faceplate screen...Some people could't see if the blue arrow meant a setpoint level by operator or an actual process value... So they reduced the arrow in size and put it more next to the bar graph instead of above it... (if you understand what I'm saying). |

You need to install the free upgrade https://support.automation.siemens.com/US/adsearch/resultset.aspx?region=US&lang=en&netmode=internet&ui=MTc1NTA3OTUA&term=v8.0+advanced+faceplates&ID=77996167&ehbid=77996167 You can then choose either VLV3 or VLV4 depending on the orientation you need. These Block icons just change color and do not rotate. I have PCS7 V8.0 SP1. Im not sure if you can apply this with PCS7 Upd 1 |
