Global shadow for objects

Different options for depicting shadows at objects Can be made dynamic and deactivated at the object
Hover effect
Different depiction as long as the mouse pointer is over a dynamic object Brightness, inner glow, outer glow Improved depiction of the operating possibilities
The "Global shadow" attribute defines whether the object will be displayed with the shadowing defined in the active design. Yes No Uses the global shadowing defined for this object type. No shadowing.
The attribute "Global shadow" can be made dynamic with the name "GlobalShadow". Hover effect: Increase brightness - when the mouse pointer moves over the object, the entire object becomes brighter Inner glow - when the mouse pointer is moved over the object, the inside of the object glows in the selected color Outer glow - when the mouse pointer is moved over the object, the edge of the object glows in the selected color
SIMATIC WinCC V7.0 Usage of Design and Color palette

The global design settings can be individually turned on or off at the object All design options are also individually configurable at the specific objects
Exercise: WinCC Designs

Exercise
Creation of a new design Configuration of the individual parameters of the design Activation of the shadows & hover functionality Import / export of designs
Result
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Procedure: Open project properties of the WinCC project, choose tab User Interface and Design Task is to replace the current design with a self-created All parameters should be modified / changed Use the Shadow and Hover effects as well An example of a self-created design you see above E.g. change the properties of the Menu & Toolbar E.g. change the properties of the RT controls (connection between Design and properties of the Alarm control)
It should be made clear which new possibilities WinCC designs offer and which WinCC object is related to which group in the design configuration Information about youll find also in the WinCC Information System -> Working with WinCC -> Working with projects -> Determining the Global Design -> The Elements of the Global Design On the next slide you find the exercise for the use of the Global Design

Exercise: WinCC Designs

Exercise
Add objects to the picture WS_V7_Design.pdl Check the parameter Global color scheme for the objects Start WinCC Runtime to see the configured Design Implement the transparency functionality, e.g. with a Slider object Change the Global Design See the changes in WinCC Runtime
Result
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Procedure Open the picture WS_V7_Design.pdl and add different WinCC objects to use the Design, e.g. .: Clock, Alarm Control, Button, Pipe, Round Button, Radio Box, Slider, Text objects As an example see the screenshot on the slide above All objects groups, which can be configured in the Design, should be used Connection between Design and the objetcs via object parameter category Effects You should create objects with and without setting the parameter Global color scheme Also the new transparency property should be configured, e.g. with a direct connection of a slider to another object Note: If nothing else is set in the object properties, the settings of the selected global design apply to all graphical objects in the project. Note As soon as an attribute is determined by a global design, it remains static and can no longer be made dynamic. Even a dynamization that has already been performed remains without effect. If nothing else is set in the object properties, the settings of the selected global design apply to all graphical objects in the project.

Central Color Palette

Centrally defined colors for the WinCC project

Assignment of choice colors to specific indexes Assignment of color indexes to objects just like the usual explicit colors Creation of up to 10 color scales with up to 20 colors
Advantages:
Creation of a project-wide, central color palette Changing of the colors of many objects in just a few steps Changing the central color palette affects all objects with colors assigned from the central color palette
Prerequisites for central color palette or central changing of colors: As the global design, not WinCC Classic has been set Central color palette has been set up At Display in the object properties, the attribute Global Color Scheme has been set to No In the object properties, colors from the central color palette have been selected As soon as the central color palette is changed in the project settings, this will affect those object elements in the objects, to which colors from the central color palette have been assigned. Notes: A color palette does not have to be completely defined.
12
Central Color Palette

Working with the central color palette

Creating and applying of the color palette (by default, none exists) Colors of the color palettes can be added or changed at any time When selecting the color for an object, a color index can be picked from the palette Changing the color of an index results in a project-wide change
Color palettes can be exported and imported (XML format)

SIMATIC WinCC V7.0 New centrally changeable Objects

Efficiency through Reusability and central Changeability

New, additional type / instance concept Standardized screen object for an object-oriented configuration Type-specific and instance-specific properties Centrally stored type is used as faceplate instance in the screens
Advantages
Reduction of the configuration work Multiple use in screens Instances are centrally changed via the faceplate type Easy copying between projects
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
This new object type is similar to the faceplate or customized object (grouping) in WinCC. A faceplate resides inside a screen window and can be linked with different structure tags via the tag prefix. If the underlying screen is changed, all stored instances change. It always resides in its own screen window. A customized object is a grouping of a number of objects, in which not all properties & events but only specifically selected properties & events appear in the properties/events. If the underlying object is changed, there are no changes to the copies of the object previously inserted into the screens. The new centrally changeable object combines the two familiar procedures. The object is built in an editor (Graphics Designer) and sent to the library as an instance. The object does not have to run in a screen window. It does not require a tag prefix. It can be integrated into the screens multiple times. If the central object is then expanded, for example by an I/O field that displays an additional value, this change is applied to all objects integrated in the screen.

Faceplates
Central changeability of objects

New, additional type / instance concept Standardized screen object for an object-oriented configuration Type-specific and instance-specific properties Centrally stored type is used as faceplate instance in the screens Creation of faceplate types in the Graphics Designer
Advantages
Reduction of the configuration work Multiple use in screens
example.fpt
Instances are centrally changed via the faceplate type Easy copying between projects
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
WinCC stores the faceplate type in an fpt file Faceplate type is inserted as faceplate instance into a process screen Faceplate instance is edited just like a single object in the Graphics Designer Faceplate types posses two kinds of properties and events: Type-specific properties and events These properties and events can only be changed in the faceplate type; properties and events are not configurable in the faceplate instances Instance-specific properties and events These properties and events are configured in the faceplate instances When creating the faceplate type, it is specified whether a property is type-specific or instance-specific
20
Configuration of Faceplates
Configuration of faceplates
Create faceplate type with individual objects Configure faceplate type Create faceplate tags Add dynamics to faceplate type
1) Create faceplate type in the Graphics Designer

Add individual objects from the object palette of the Graphics Designer Configure the individual objects; i.e. the type-specific properties / events
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Notes: The object types connector, user object, application window, screen window, and faceplates cannot be used The following menu functions of the Graphics Designer are not available when editing the faceplate type: Activate runtime User object Tag connections
21
2) Configure faceplate type

In the configuration dialog of the faceplate type it is specified, what is to be configured in the instances Instance-specific property and event nodes are configured Configuration of property nodes with properties via drag & drop Analogous for events
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Notes: The following properties of the individual objects may not be assigned to a property node: "OutputFormat of the I/O field Layer at all objects Notes: In the property node, group the properties of the individual objects in a meaningful manner. For example, line weight should not be grouped together with background color. Assign a unique name to the property node. There are no language-dependent names for the property node. Notes: Each property of an individual object may only be assigned to one property node. In the faceplate type, only the properties of an individual object not assigned to a property node may be made dynamic. Only the properties of an individual object that have not been made dynamic in the faceplate type may be assigned to a property node.
22
3) Create faceplate tags

Faceplates can only be made dynamic with faceplate tags Valid only for this faceplate type, also only editable in this faceplate No access to the WinCC Tag Management
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
The following can be configured for the tags: Name Data type Start value Low limit High limit
23
4) Add dynamics to faceplate type

Two options: Tag connection and VBScript Restriction: Only faceplate tags, not all WinCC dynamics New SmartTags object instead of HMIRuntime for VB programming
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Adding dynamics with VBScript With VBScript, data outside of the faceplate type cannot be accessed. Consequently no access to HMIRuntime within a faceplate type. Debugging is not possible for scripts in faceplate types. The new component SmartTags has been added to the faceplate type. The faceplate tags and the properties of the faceplate type can be accessed with SmartTags. See also VBS reference in the chapter SmartTags Object. Adding dynamics through a tag connection For the tag connection, only the faceplate tags can be used. Procedure follows that of a regular tag connection.
24
Faceplates
Using a faceplate instance

Inserting of a faceplate instance into a process screen New object Faceplate in the object palette
Configuration of the instance-specific properties in the process screen
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Notes: If no or an invalid faceplate type is selected, the faceplate object will be deleted from the screen. Changing of faceplate types Changes made to type-specific properties in the faceplate type will not be updated in the faceplate instances, if the corresponding process screen of the faceplate instance is open. The changes are applied to the instances by closing the corresponding process screen and then loading it again.
25
Exercise: Faceplates

28
Access to faceplate internal tags

Add a VBS-Action at the Button1- Press left Event To access the tag use the SmartTag(TagName) Method and trigger the value between gray and Green.
Result
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Trigger the faceplate internal tag via VBScript: The status tag should represent the color of the status, therefore trigger it between green and gray by clicking the Button1 To achieve this aim, only VBScript can be used. To get access on Faceplate internal tags use the SmartTags() Method. Dim s Set s = SmartTags(status) If s.value = vbGreen Then s.value = RGB(182,182,182) Else s.value = vbGreen End If
create object reference on the tag if the actual color is green there exists no constant for gray

Deactivatable Tag and Server Prefixes

User Interface Central Color Palette Graphics Objects Faceplates Animation Trigger Screen Windows
Simplified working with screens / screen windows and prefixes

For screen windows, a tag prefix can be assigned In a multi-station system, a server prefix can be employed Up to now, the prefix within the screen / screen window could not be deactivated This is sometimes required to access tags outside of a structure In V7, the prefixes can be deactivated, i.e. the tags are requested without prefix
Server 1 Client 1 Server 1:: Screen 1
Deactivatable Prefixes Text Distributor Tag Management WinCC as Service Setup / Licenses
Screen 1
Application examples
In a screen window with tag prefix, a tag is to be displayed without prefix In a distributed system, where the server screen is displayed on the clients in a screen window, the local user @CurrentUser is to be displayed
38
Deactivatable Tag and Server Prefixes

Deactivation of the prefix

With the appropriate tags, the following additions can be used: @NOTP deactivates the tag prefix @NOSP deactivates the server prefix @NOP deactivates the tag prefix and the server prefix The additions are available for all dynamics types Example of a tag connection:
Example in a VBScript:
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Notes: (Unofficially, @local could be used in the past to deactivate the prefix) Additions cannot be used in the properties TagPrefix or ServerPrefix of a screen window or basic screen The deactivation of the server prefix is only useful for clients with own project If a standard server is set up in a multi-station system, the additions @NOP and @NOSP cannot be used for the deactivation The setting of the prefix only becomes effective after the screen name has been provided again Thus, either the prefix has to be set before the screen selection, or the screen name has to be provided again, if the screen is not changed
39
Exercise: Deactivatable Prefixes

Exercise
Main screen WS_V7_Prefix_main is expanded by an I/O field with project-wide value Screen window screen WS_V7_Prefix is to depict the value by means of a C script, tag connection, and dynamic dialog In doing so, the tag prefix of the screen windows has to be deactivated
Result
The traffic lights switched in the main screen are depicted differently in the screen windows The project-wide value is the same everywhere, due to the deactivated prefix
WinCC V7.0
Industry Sector
Procedure In the screen WS_V7_Prefix_main, add an I/O field; connect the internal tag value99 (the tag is located in Tag Management in the group Workshop) In the screen WS_V7_Prefix, add three I/O fields and make them dynamic accordingly - be sure to deactivate the tag prefix: At the first I/O field, connect the tag by means of a C script
At the second I/O field, connect the tag directly
At the third I/O field, connect the tag by means of the dynamic dialog
When the screen is called in runtime via the menu item Deactivated Prefix, two screen windows connected via tag prefix to different tags are displayed. The new I/O fields, however, show the value of the main screen. Result See slide

Industry Sector
Inconsistencies in your configuration can be determined using the filter function and the "Missing text" function. Text that is not used The "Not system text" setting in the filter function indicates that a text exists in the Text Library but is not used in the configuration. Note The text records are used e.g. in Global Script, is also output with filter setting "Not system text"
Missing text You are presented with the IDs of the text records that are deleted in the Text Library but are used in the configuration with the "Missing text" function. The application point is also indicated. The "Missing Text ID" dialog is displayed. The IDs of the text records that do not exist but are used in the configuration are listed. In order to recreate the marked text entry, click on the "Create" button. The respective Text ID is created again and you can enter the respective text in the generated line.

Instead of 256, WinCC V7.0 now comes with 512 PowerTags, and the 1024 version as well was doubled to 2048 PowerTags. The customer receives twice the number of tags for the same price. In addition, SIMATIC Logon for the central user administration is now included free of charge in V7.0. This is a plus especially for plants in the FDA environment or with a domain structure, in which a Central User Administration and an Automatic Logout of the users are required. Two new Ethernet drivers were installed: Allen-Bradley Ethernet IP (only for Control Logix PLC) Modbus TCP/IP As a result, a connection to these PLCs is possible through the regular Ethernet / RJ45 connector of the PC. On the WinCC side, there are no additional costs for PCI cards, etc.
