5.2 Configuring SFC block icons
Create block icons
You can create block icons for your OS picture in two different ways:
● Automatic creation in the plant hierarchy
With this method, the required block icons are automatically inserted into the picture and
parameters are assigned, as appropriate, for all existing SFCs.
You can find additional information about this in the online help of the PH in the section
"How to automatically create/update block icons for OS pictures".
● You place the OS picture in WinCC in the Graphics Designer and configure it with the
Dynamic Wizard.
You can find this description below.
Procedure in WinCC
1. Copy the required block icon from the template to your current picture.
2. Adapt the "StructureType" and "type" property to the type name (not necessary for the block
icon for SFC).
3. Select the block icon and double-click "Connect faceplate to process tag" in the "Standard
Dynamics" tab of the "Dynamic Wizard" window.
The Dynamic Wizard opens.
4. Click on the"..." button on the "Set options" page.
The "Tags - Project:" dialog box opens.
5. In the WinCC tags, open the "List of all tags" and double-click the corresponding tag for the
chart or instance in the right window to select it.
The dialog box closes; the tag name is entered in the Dynamic Wizard.
6. Click "Next".
The next page shows what the wizard is now generating.
7. Click "Finish".
The block icon is now configured. You can use it to call the associated faceplate in runtime
operation.
