5.18 Creating/updating the diagnostic screens
Introduction
The diagnostic screens in the diagnostics area with their block icons are created or updated
with this function.
The "@@maintenancetypicals.pdl" file contains all the templates for block icons which are
used to display the diagnostic information.
If you execute the "Create/update diagnostic screens", PCS 7 automatically uses block icons
from this file. This file is installed as standard during the installation of PCS 7.
You can customize block icons to your specific requirements.
Note
If you want to customize the standard block icons included in the @@maintenancetypicals.pdl
file, do not change this file. All changes in this file are overwritten by an update.
Always create a new file. The name of the file starts with the fixed name component
"@maintenancetypicals". You can specify the rest of the file name yourself. Insert the required
block icons there and customize them.
The process is exactly the same as for adapting the standard block icons.
You can find additional information about this in the section "Example: Creating object
templates" in the
WinCC Information System
online help.
You can find additional information on positioning block icons in the section "Automatic
positioning of block icons in the areas (Page 64)".
Requirements
The configuration must have the following status:
● The settings relating to the diagnostic structure have been made.
You can find information on this in the section "How to make the settings in the plant
hierarchy (Page 50)".
● The "Language for display devices" is set as the default language in the SIMATIC Manager.
Texts displayed during process control are generated in this language.
● When you use SIMATIC PDM, the maintenance project is configured in the settings for the
SIMATIC PDM project.
