Graphics Runtime On The Os Clients; Graphics Runtime On The Os Servers - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

10.1.8

Graphics Runtime on the OS clients

Block the key combinations in the computer properties of the OC client projects. This prevents
access to the operating system during runtime.
To ensure the Windows taskbar remains hidden during process mode even when standalone
applications are called (e.g. "Picture selection by name", "Picture selection by process tag",
"User permission", or "SFC visualization"), the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows"
check box must be deactivated in the Windows operating system under "Taskbar and Start
Menu Properties".
10.1.9

Graphics Runtime on the OS servers

The following alternative measures are recommended for the purpose of reducing the load for
OS servers which are not used as operating stations at the same time:
● Selecting the "SIMATIC Server" server layout in the OS project editor in the "Layout" tab.
Generally applies to all OS servers, in particular OS servers with more than 4 OS clients.
Granting of rights in accordance with the User Administrator and locking to prevent
unauthorized key combinations is possible with this.
● Deactivation of the graphics runtime and the associated applications, e.g. SFCRT
(visualization of SFC blocks) in the startup list in "Computer properties".
Additional applications that have been added through the individual WinCC editors of the
startup list cannot be removed.
