2.5 Notes on Process Control Options
Creating a New Project
If you create a new project manually, you must first run the OS Project Editor.
While creating an OS using PCS7 Engineering Station, the project is automatically called in
the background and initialized using the default settings.
Removing unneeded "@*.PDL" pictures before migration
If the OS Project Editor has processed a WinCC project, the "@*.PDL" pictures of Basic
Process Control will have been installed in the Graphics Designer. If you do not need these
pictures following the migration, you not only have to remove the "*@.PDL" pictures prior to
migration, but also the "PAS" files and "SSM.cfg". After the migration, the files from Basic
Process Control are no longer added.
Multiple languages
Online documentation in the WinCC Information System is available only in English, French,
German and Chinese (Simplified, PR China).
If
you
work with a French, English or German version of Windows computer software and install
a different language, it is possible that terms in WinCC appear in this language even if WinCC
is operated with the same language as Windows.
Different buttons have English labels especially in the multi-lingual versions of Windows
independent of the language setting and independent of the WinCC language. This affects
dialog boxes in particular which the user must respond with Yes/No, OK/Cancel etc.
Tags with @-prefix
The project engineer my not create any tags with @ prefix. Only the WinCC PCS7 software
can do this. You are not allowed to manipulate these system tags. The system tags are required
so that the product works properly.
While configuring AS and OS monitoring using Lifebeat Monitoring, device names should not
be identical to area names in Picture Tree or internal tags with the "@" name prefix.
DCF77 receiver DCFRS: Driver not released for Windows 8 and Server 2012
No driver is released for the DCFRS receiver under Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012
R2.
Smart card: Disabling the Plug&Play service
If the Plug&Play service is enabled, an operating system message may occur in WinCC
Runtime when scanning for drivers. This allows the access to the operating system.
Since WinCC does not require a separate smart card driver, the "Plug&Play" service for smart
cards is disabled.
