Step 2 - Create WinCC archive tags
To be able to assign archive tags later, you must select the "Archive measured value" check
box in the Batch configuration dialog for the tag of a phase or operation to be archived. You
can also set the tag to "Archive" in the CFC at the output "QACT_VAL" of a block. As a result,
the "Archive measured value" check box is automatically selected at the next generation of
Batch types. With this option, you can create archive tags automatically as described in option
1.
The creation of the WinCC archive tags depends on the setting of the "Create/update archive
tags" option in the "Object Properties" of the OS in the SIMATIC Manager.
There are two possibilities:
● The "Create/update archive tags" option is activated. In this case, a corresponding archive
tag is automatically created in WinCC.
Requirement: There must be an OS and the OS path that is the basis for the WinCC tag
name is displayed under the runtime name.
● The "Create/update archive tags" option is not activated. In this case, you have to create
the archive tag manually in the WinCC Explorer. You can find additional information about
this in the WinCC Information System.
Note
If you deactivate the option "Create/update archive variables", the generated archive tags
in WinCC are deleted by "Compile OS". But the assignments are retained in the BATCH
configuration dialog. No warning appears to indicate that the archive tags no longer exist
in WinCC.
Step 3 - Assign WinCC archive tags
In the BATCH configuration dialog, the additional function "Instances -> Display" can be
activated for the selected type parameter. All the instant parameters having a reference to this
type parameter are displayed. In the next dialog, you can open the WinCC tag browser for
each instance parameter in which the required WinCC archive tag can be assigned.
1. Select the required type parameter in the BATCH configuration dialog.
2. Click the "Display" button in the area on the right.
Result: The "Instances that use the <Name> type parameter" dialog box opens.
3. Click on the row on the right and then again on the arrow that appears.
Result: The "WinCC archive tag for <Name>" dialog box opens. This displays all the
operator stations and the archive tags.
4. Display the individual hierarchies in the WinCC tag browser.
5. Select the required WinCC archived tag.
6. Click the "Apply" button.
Result: After compiling and downloading the process cell, you can use the archive tags in your
recipes.
