Easier configuration with WinCC Configuration Studio

Efficient engineering with "drag-and-drop"
Configuring is even simpler and more convenient with the "WinCC Configuration Studio" of
WinCC V7.4.
Drag the values into one of the editors using "drag-and-drop". The corresponding data is
automatically created.
The extended "drag-and-drop" function offers the following options:
● Moving selected data within an editor and between editors
● Inserting tags created in Tag Management in the "Tag Logging" and "Alarm Logging" editors
● Configuring message groups in "Alarm Logging"
● Creating or extending a WinCC control with a connection to a tag or archive in the Graphics
Designer
● Dragging selected data to editors outside of WinCC, for example MS Excel or WordPad
Mass data processing with "Find and replace"
The WinCC Configuration Studio supports you in configuring large data volumes:
The "Find and Replace" function expands selected data values in the table area with suffixes
and prefixes. You can use this function, for example, to insert a server prefix in front of multiple
tag names.
You can use this function in all fields that allow the entry of free text or numbers.
VBA in the WinCC Configuration Studio
WinCC V7.4 provides access to the VBA interface of the WinCC Configuration Studio. VBA
allows you, for example, to automatically create tags in Tag Management and in Tag Logging.
You now have access to all editors in the Configuration Studio via VBA.
