1 Common HMI Elements
1.1 Common Faceplate Elements
The @CommonElements.pdl file contains a generic discrete I/O button and a
generic analog I/O edit field. These objects can be manually copied to any user
graphic. If the tag to be edited is part of a tag structure, then standard PCS 7 user
authorization will be enforced. If the tag to be edited is a single tag (not part of a
tag structure), no PCS 7 user authorization will be enforced since a single tag
cannot be assigned to a process area for user authorization enforcement.
At runtime, the discrete I/O button provides the ability to edit any existing BOOL
type tag. All changes to the BOOL tag are recorded in the WinCC operators log.
The tag, along with "On" and "Off" messages, and "On" and "Off" button text are
configured from the object properties dialog in Graphics Designer.
At runtime, the analog I/O field provides the ability to edit any existing analog tag.
All changes to the analog tag are recorded in the WinCC operators log. The tag,
along with range limits, and display format are configured from the object
properties dialog in Graphics Designer.
The @CommonElements.pdl file also contains an example of a button that allows a
trend group created with the PCS 7 Online Trend Configuration Utility to be opened
up directly by name instead of selecting it from a list. The trend group name and
the monitor to display the trend group on are configurable. Use the properties
dialog box to configure the Mouse Action for the object.

1.2 Analog Edit Dialog Box
An analog edit dialog box is displayed whenever you click a user-editable analog
value. Variable Min and Max values are enforced.
To enter a value, you can:
xedit the value directly in the edit field
xtype in a value using the physical keyboard
xtype in a value using the electronic keyboard
xuse the slider control, or
xclick any of the four incremental buttons
File Name: @Common_AnalogInput.PDL
1.3 Discrete Edit Dialog Box
A discrete edit dialog box is displayed whenever you click on a user-editable
discrete value. There are three versions (2 state, 3 state, and 4 state). The number
of possible variable states determines which box is displayed. Examples are shown

1.5 PCS 7 External Tag Count
A single 505 tag is mapped into a PCS 7 tag structure. The PCS 7 tag structure
consists of a collection of internal and external tags. PCS 7 is licensed based on
the external tag count. For estimation purposes, the following table documents the
relationship between a 505 tag type, and the number of external PCS 7 tags that
will be created.

1.6 Operator Change Confirmation
DBA adds a ConfirmChange extended attribute for each function block instance
(See the DBA help file for details). This controls whether operator actions require a
confirmation step or not.
If ConfirmChange is FALSE (its default value) then any type of discrete operator
change (for example, Auto/Manual, Start Motor, Open Valve, etc.) is immediately
made without further confirmation requirements.
If ConfirmChange is TRUE, then any type of discrete operator change displays
either the Discrete Input Dialog box or a Confirmation box, and requires the
operator to select and/or confirm the request. Similarly, any floating-point operator
change can only be made via the Analog Input Dialog, and confirmed with its OK
button.
In either case, an entry in the operator’s log is always made for any operation that
involves a write to the controller.
PCS 7/505 Symbols and Faceplates
A5E00767202-01 1-5
Common HMI Elements
In addition, if ConfirmChange is FALSE, any faceplate bargraph that is editable by
the user also includes a set of four quick-change buttons to make immediate step
changes to the bargraph value. These make step changes of either -5%, -1%, 1%,
or 5% of configured span. The quick-change buttons are not displayed if
ConfirmChange is TRUE.
1.7 Synchronization and Persistance of HMI Tag Values
A feature of the PCS 7 HMI is the ability to synchronize and persist arbitrary
internal WinCC tag values.
The synchronization feature will guarantee that internal tag values remain
consistent between redundant server partners in a redundant OS server
architecture.
The persistence feature will preserve tag values through a restart of the WinCC
runtime, or a reboot of the OS server. Without this feature, internal tag values are
always initialized to their configured "start value". This feature can be used on
single station nodes, single OS server nodes, or redundant OS server nodes.
The synchronization and persistence features are not required for external tag
values since those tag values are already persisted in the controller.
The synchronization and persistence configuration is stored in a CSV file
(SyncPersistTags.csv) in the RuntimeFramework directory in the WinCC project
directory.
PCS 7/505 Symbols and Faceplates
1-6 A5E00767202-01
Common HMI Elements
CSV File Format
The CSV file format allows blank lines and comment lines which are designated by
a leading semicolon (;). The CSV file must have a header with a leading
":TAG"(case does not matter) and at least another column with PERSIST or SYNC
(case does not matter). If the option column is missing, then none of the tags will
be processed for that option. For example, if the PERSIST column exists, but the
SYNC column does NOT, then the tags will only be processed for PERSIST. The
TAG column should contain the full WinCC tagname. The option columns should
have the value of 0, or 1. Any other value including a blank will ENABLE the option
for that tag.
Here is an example:
; This is a comment
: Tag , PERSIST, SYNC
Tag1
Tag2, 1, 0
Tag3, 0, 1
Tag4, 1, 1
In this example:
Tag1 will be persisted and synchronized.
Tag2 will be persisted.
Tag3 will be synchronized.
Tag4 will be persisted and synchronized.
1.8 Disabled Alarm List
A disabled alarm list is available that displays all disabled and locked alarms in the
system.
It is displayed by clicking the disabled alarm list button on the PCS 7 alarm
logging status bar.
PCS 7/505 Symbols and Faceplates
A5E00767202-01 1-7
2 Symbols
2.1 Symbols
Each tag structure and faceplate has an associated symbol. You can place these
symbols on your process graphics to represent a control object. At runtime, when
you click on the symbol, the associated faceplate is displayed and tied to the
corresponding instance of the 505 object.
The PCS 7/505 OS Option symbols are shown in the picture below:
The 505 symbols are provided on picture "@@505Typicals.pdl". PCS 7/505 DBA
uses these symbols as shown to create instances associated with the type found in
the 505. The symbols on this picture can be considered "master" symbols. These
symbols use a naming convention of @505_AI/1. When DBA creates an instance
of this symbol on a picture, the symbol name is set equal to the tagname of the 505
tag. DBA manages these symbol names and they should not be edited.
PCS 7/505 Symbols and Faceplates
A5E00767202-01 2-1
Symbols
When a symbol is copied or cut and then pasted onto the same picture or another
picture, the Graphics Designer changes the name of the symbol. For example
@505_AI becomes 505_AI1; if another instance is pasted, the name becomes
505_AI2. It is important that the symbol names of symbol instances created by
DBA not be changed. DBA manages the creation and deletion of the symbol
instances that it creates. If you cut and paste a symbol instance onto the same
picture created by DBA, the next time DBA runs it adds another instance of this
symbol. If you need to move a symbol, drag and drop it to ensure that the name
does not change.

3 Tag Structures and Faceplates
3.1 Tag Structures and Faceplates
Tag structures are the interface between PCS 7 OS and the outside world. Each
tag structure is closely modeled after the attributes of the appropriate 505 tags. In
addition, several tags in each tag structure have been added to support general
PCS 7 OS functions (EventState, EventRaw, EventTrans, etc.).
The table below lists the 505 tag names with their descriptions and their
corresponding tag structures in PCS 7 OS.
505 Tag Name Description PCS 7 Tag Structure

N/A Action Request ACTION_REQUEST
Each tag structure in PCS 7 OS is represented by a faceplate that displays the
appropriate attributes for that tag. Faceplates that include live analog values also
include a trend display with pre-configured online trend variables that require no
further user configuration. Multiple faceplates can be viewed simultaneously.

4 Action Requests
4.1 Overview of Action Requests
An Action Request consists of a configuration mechanism to annunciate an event,
and a procedure that you must perform to clear the event.
The ACTION_REQUEST faceplate displays basic information about the Action
Request. This information varies based on the AnswerFormat that was configured
for the Action Request. There are six types of AnswerFormat:
xAcknowledge: The user enters a comment and presses the Commit button.
xView: The Action Request is automatically acknowledged simply by displaying
the faceplate. No further user action is required.
xEvent Log: A message is automatically entered into the alarm logging system
when the Action Request is triggered. No further annunciation is made to the
user, and no user action is required from the faceplate.
xEnter Value: The user enters a value to be written to the AnswerTag, enters a
comment, and presses the Commit button.
xMultiple Choice: The user selects a value to be written to the AnswerTag from
the pre-configured list, enters a comment, and presses the Commit button.
xMultiple Choice (OSx Style): The user selects a value to be written to the
AnswerTag from the pre-configured list, enters a comment, and presses the
Commit button. The text displayed in the list is for informational purposes only.

A5E00767202-01 4-1
Action Requests
Fixed values are always written to the AnswerTag according to the following
table:
-Choice 1: 0x1000
-Choice 2: 0x2000
-Choice 3: 0x4000
-Choice 4: 0x8000
Note
The 505 PLC must be configured such that a write to the Action Request’s reset
tag will clear the trigger tag. In a system architecture that has redundant PCS 7 OS
Servers, the Action Request status will not be cleared on the redundant server until
the trigger tag is cleared. If there is a delay between the writing of the reset tag and
a clearing of the trigger tag, the Action Request status on the redundant PCS 7 OS
Server will not agree during this delay period.
