General Information
The "Basic Process Control" package comprises, among other things, the
components :
OS-ProjectEditor This Wizard is used to configure and initialize the monitor settings and screen
settings for the current WinCC project.
You should do this initialization immediately after you create a project, since other
applications (Runtime, Group Display etc.) also access this data.
The Wizard defines the newly created picture (@Screen.PDL) as the Start screen.
There is also a simple way of configuring the message system with fixed default
settings (configuration of the message window, messages, message classes and
creation of the process control messages).
Picture Tree Manager

The Picture Tree Manager is used to manage a hierarchy of application pictures,
parts of application pictures, function names and pictures from the Graphics
Designer.
Group Display The Group Display is an additional element of the Graphics Editor (Smart Objects)
that is used to collect messages and events in individual pictures and / or in the
picture hierarchy and to display them in the application (overview) picture.
With the help of the Group Display, a malfunction or an alarm can be displayed in
the overview picture. This allows the operator to switch directly to the
malfunctioning system section by simply selecting it. See FAQ 17778440.
Lifebeat monitoring Lifebeat Monitoring takes over the permanent monitoring of the individual systems
(OS and AS) and generates the process control messages.
After startup, the monitoring begins automatically for the configured (selected)
components and is executed cyclically. A message is generated when one of the
participants repeatedly fails to answer (after three successive cycles).

Basic Process Control Functions
- Basic data with screen subdivisions of overview, desktop and button areas
- Process mimic hierarchy with graphic configuration of the picture hierarchy.
(Picture Tree Manager).
- Scrolling through the picture hierarchy in process control.
- Storing and recalling the screen layout.
- Group displays for user guidance through the graphics hierarchy
- Selecting process mimics using names (in process control).
- Lifebeat monitoring with system configuration diagram.
- Message Configuration provides you with a simple way of configuring the
message system with fixed default settings (configuration of the message
window, messages, message classes and creation of the process control
messages).
- Using external signaling device.
- Enhanced graphics objects: 3D Bar graphs,Group Display.
- OS-ProjectEditor for adjusting screen resolution and multi-channel
operation with Multi-VGA cards and up to four monitors.
Time Synchronization
With the time synchronization function, it is possible to synchronize all the clocks
in the system using special clock masters such as Siclock or DCF77.
Horn (Editor) For use of a signal module or sound card. The signal module has relay outputs for
a horn (acoustic) or signal lamp (optic).
Note You will require the Multi-VGA card from IGS for multi-channel operation. For
activating (using) the signaling device, you will also require the signal module.
Chipcard Reader With the chipcard reader option, a WinCC user can log on with a chipcard using a
reading device that is connected to a serial interface.
Note For detailed information, you will find PCS7 courses on the Internet under:
www.siemens.de/sitrain

Overview Area Here, the up to 16 plant areas are displayed according to the technological view of
the project. The Group Display indicates whether a fault exists in the respective
area. Using the arrow symbol next to the area name you can show the part of the
Picture Tree that belongs to this area and from there you can directly select the
subarea. The overview area is always visible in Runtime.
Work Area Here, depending on the selection, the process pictures are represented.
Toolbar The PCS 7 prefabricated toolbar enables you to select typical process information
(message system, measuring point info) or system conditions (log on, RT
deactivation).

General The following pages can also be used for exercise purposes. Requirement: BPC is
installed on the computer. The settings are selected in such a way that you can
assess the difference between the project for manufacturing automation and
process automation.
Note Before you carry out the exercise you should save your WinCC project, since
access to the "old" project is no longer possible after the compilation with BPC.
The OS Project Editor is used for the configuration and initialization of the monitor
and picture settings for the current WinCC project.
Configuring 1. Start the OS Project Editor
2. Adopt the settings specified in the slide
3. Further settings are not necessary (default settings)
4. Start Runtime and test the result

Result This is what the generated project looks like in Runtime. Operator control in the
toolbar is already possible.
If you want to define your own start screen, open the screen @welcome.pdl and
edit the content. Via Geometry you can adapt the screen size.

The Picture Tree Manager Editor is used to manage a hierarchy of plants,
subplants and pictures of the Graphics Designer.
Configuring 1. Call all of your pictures via the Graphics Designer and adjust each picture to
the picture size of 1280x825 pixels. This corresponds to the size of the picture
window
2. Start the Picture Tree Manager
3. Via the Projectname.MCP, activate the shortcut menu and add a container.
After changing the name of the container, drag & drop a picture onto the
container. Operator hierarchies can be edited any way you like.
3. Further settings are not necessary (default settings)

Result This is what the generated project looks like in Runtime.
Picture Navigation Using the arrow symbol next to the area name you can show the part of the
Picture Tree that belongs to this area and from there you can directly select the
subarea.
Picture by Name The pictures can also be called via the picture name. As a result, it is possible to
display the picture in the work area or via a process window.

Configuring If areas were already defined with the OS Project Editor, you can now rearrange or
remove the areas. The Preview button shows the areas arranged with the "up" and
"down" button in a preview window.

The "Lifebeat Monitoring" Editor is used to monitor the connection of all server and
client computers and the PLCs.
Configuring 1. Start the Lifebeat Monitoring Editor
2. With a double-click, select the column Device Name and define the device
name
3. With a double-click, select the column Device Type and select a name from
the list that appears
4. With a double-click, select the column Connection and select your connection
name from the list that appears
5. If "user-defined" was selected as the device positioning, you can call the
picture "@config.pdl" via "Edit Screen" and edit it.
You can add further device names by pressing "Add".

The time for the connection monitoring has a default value of 10 sec.

Result This is what the generated project looks like in Runtime. In the toolbar, the "plant
network configuration" button was selected through which you can call the picture
for monitoring the connections. A symbol crossed-out in red indicates the
connection error.
