Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

When the OS project is compiled, the block icons are derived/updated from the plant hierarchy.
Note
The derivation of the block icons is controlled with configuration files. A user normally does
not have to adapt the configuration files supplied by the system.
The following attributes of the block icons are taken into consideration in the configuration file
without adaptation:
● Higher ProcessControlling
● ProcessControlling
● View Tag
● Return Path
● StandardTrend
● Format_InputValue
● Format_OutputValue
● Format_xx
● defaultPos
● leftPos
● topPos
If other attribute values are to be taken into account when updating the block icons, the
configuration must be adapted accordingly.
You can find a detailed description of this under "Structure of the Configuration File" in the
WinCC Information System.
10.2.7 Wizards
If block icons are not derived from the plant hierarchy (PH) in the SIMATIC Manager by default,
various wizards are available for working with user object templates.
