How to create the user diagnostic structure

Introduction
You create the user diagnostic structure in the project with the AS and the project with the
maintenance station. If the AS and the maintenance station are in different projects of a
multiproject, configure the CFC charts in the project with the AS for the user diagnostic area
and, in the project with the maintenance station, configure the OS pictures for the user
diagnostic area. The user diagnostic area must be created in both projects.
Requirement
The diagnostic structure has been created.
Procedure
1. Open the plant view in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. In the plant hierarchy, select a project for which you wish to create a user diagnostic
structure.
3. In the tree view, select the diagnostic hierarchy folder directly below which the "AS objects"
hierarchy folder is located.
4. Select the menu command Insert > Technological Objects > Hierarchy Folder.
Note
There may only be one hierarchy folder created for the user diagnostic structure under the
"Diagnostics" hierarchy folder.
5. Mark the hierarchy folder in the detail view and select the menu command Edit > Rename.
6. Enter a unique name that is as short as possible and confirm with the Enter key.
The name is applied.
You can create additional hierarchy subfolders below this hierarchy folder.
Note
Note that a maximum of 128 characters are allowed for the length of tag names.
You can find additional information about this in the manual
Operator Station .
7. If you have not created the user diagnostic structure in the project of the MS server, you
must update the plant hierarchy.
You can find additional information about this in the section "How to update the user
diagnostic structure (Page 74)".
