5.1 Configurations for SFC Visualization
Introduction
You can place objects in a WinCC display that enable you to open an SFC during runtime 
operation. 
The following objects can be used for this:
● Block icons
● "PCS 7 SFC Control"
● "PCS 7 SFC MultiChart Control"
● "PCS 7 SFC Topology Control"
● Any graphic object (such as a rectangle)
● A Windows object (such as a button)
Preparation
● Select the Options > 'Compile Multiple OSs' Wizard' > Start... command in SIMATIC 
Manager in order to transfer the SFC charts and SFC instances to the OS.
● Then, carry out the Preparations for the Controls.
You can find additional information about this in the section: Preparing the controls 
(Page 19) 
Note
The controls "@PCS 7 SFC Panel Control" and "@PCS 7 SFC SP Control" supplied with SFC 
Visualization are controls required internally in SFC Visualization. They have not yet been 
approved for use in WinCC pictures.
