Symbols

The process display icons are based on the process symbols provided by the Faceplate
Designer. The diagrams are schematic diagrams.
Template pictures @PCS7Typicals_SENTRON.pdl / @Template_SENTRON.pdl
The icons can be found in the template diagrams @PCS7Typicals_SENTRON.pdl and
@Template_SENTRON.pdl.
When using the "Create/Update Block Icons" function, PCS 7 accesses the file
@PCS7Typicals_SENTRON.pdl .
When manually copying the icons into a process display, you must use the icons from the
@Template_SENTRON.pdl file.
Different variants of block icons
There may be several variants of block icons for one measuring point. These variants are
distinguished by the "type" attribute: The value of this attribute describes the variant. For
example, if you look at a variant of the block icon for a valve, you will find the value
"@Valve/2". You use the part of the value displayed after the "/" to control which variant of
the block icon is produced. You therefore have to enter this part in the object properties for
the block instance. If you do not enter any parameters in the object properties for the block
instance, the standard block icon is produced automatically: This is the block icon with the
"/1" label for the "type" attribute, e.g. "@Valve/1".
Only one version is however supplied per circuit breaker type with the library.
Connection to the measuring point
There is one icon for the driver block that is linked to the associated measuring point using
the "Connect picture block to tag structure" function.
The icons contain the following visible information:
