Note
You can find additional information on the subject of "Advanced Process Graphics" and
configuration notes in the application example "Integration of Advanced Process Graphics in
SIMATIC PCS 7" (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/89332241).
Note
Take note of the following recommendations when creating process pictures:
● The use of numerous or extensive C actions and/or VBS actions increases the system load
which can have a negative influence on picture-call times in runtime. Move cyclic computing
operations to the automation system and avoid executing them on the OS.
● To achieve picture opening times of less than 2 seconds do not configure more than 100
process objects in one process picture.
10.2.3 Block icons/User objects
Block icons are graphic objects of the "user object" (UDO, User-Defined Object)) type, which
represent a corresponding block type in the OS. Block icon templates for all block types/
process tag types used in PCS 7 can be found in the @PCS7TypicalsAPLV8.pdl typical picture.
