Transferring Apf Process Pictures To The Plant Hierarchy - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 System Manual

Transferring APF process pictures to the plant hierarchy

Preconfigured WinCC objects (process pictures and faceplates) are available for operator
control and monitoring of the APF modules on the OS. To assign the process pictures to the
corresponding hierarchy folders of the PH, these folders must be imported into the component
view of SIMATIC Manager.
The picture objects for the individual APF modules can only be transferred once the modules
have been configured with the APF engineering tool.
Requirement
● The component view of SIMATIC Manager is open.
Procedure
To assign the APF process pictures to the plant hierarchy, follow these steps:
1. Select the OS in the component view of your multiproject.
2. Select the "Import WinCC objects" command in the shortcut menu.
The process pictures are imported and displayed in the component view.
3. Select the process pictures and move them from the component view into the required
hierarchy folder of the PH using a drag-and-drop operation while simultaneously pressing
the <Shift> key.
Note
The process pictures may be available in different versions. For example, the material lot editor
(.pdl picture) available by default as FB_MAT_LOT_ED (recommended for resolution
1280x1024), is also additionally available as FB_MAT_LOT_ED-1920 optimized for 1920x1080
resolution and an improved form. Please use the pictures that best match the resolution
selected in the "WinCC Explorer OS Project Editor".
An advantage of the new material editor in high resolution (FB_MAT_ED-1920) is the built-in
function for convenient material search.
