Operator and Display Texts in Blocks

Information in Faceplates
Faceplates visualize processes on the operator station and provide the plant operator with
information, such as:
● Measured values
● Operating limits
● Units
● Block operator texts
Change in Operator and Display Texts in Blocks
If you have modified the operator texts or display texts in the blocks so that they do not
correspond to the delivery state and you want to use the new PCS 7 blocks, you must back
up these "old" operator texts or display texts.
Diagnostic screens with project-specific adaptation
Back up diagnostics screens that have been adapted to a specific project.
Exporting Operator and Display Texts
In the SIMATIC Manager, you can export information from parameters, signals, and messages
to a file (in *.csv format).
You can edit this file in standard MS Office applications such as Excel and Access. The same
mechanisms are used for the export as are used for changeover to project-specific languages.
