PCS 7/APACS+ OS Symbols and Faceplates for V 6.1
A5E00595267-01 1-1
1 Common HMI Elements
1.1 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 APACS+ object.
The PCS 7/APACS+ Option symbols are shown in the pictu re below:
Common HMI Elements
1-2 PCS 7/APACS+ OS Symb ols and Face plates for V6.1
A5E00595267-01
The APACS+ symbols are provided on the picture "@@APACSTypicals.pdl".
PCS 7/APACS+ DBA uses these symbols as shown to create instances associated
with the type found in the APACS+ controller. The symbols on this picture can be
considered "master" symbols. These symbols use a naming convention of
@BlockName/1. When DBA creates an instance of this symbol on a picture, the
symbol name is set equal to the tagname of the APACS+ tag. DBA manages these
symbol names and they should not be edited.
Most blocks have several symbols, each with differing sizes and amount of
information. The default symbol selected by DBA is the one named
@BlockName/1. Alternate symbols can be selected by DBA by modifying the
"Symbol Name” property for the block in DBA (for example, @BlockName/2).
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,
@LOOP_A becomes LOOP_A1; if another instance is pasted, the name becomes
LOOP_A2. 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. I ns tead, if you need to move a symb ol, drag and dr op it to ensure that the
name does not change.

1.3 Discrete Input Dialog Box
A discrete input dialog box appears if you click a field with a discrete value. The
box inc l udes an OK button for confirmation. Clicking it confirms the selection and
records a change in the PCS 7 operator’s Log.
The following discrete input dialog box, used in loop controls, selects Manual or
Auto.

1.5 Confirmation Dialog Box
If you initiate a change that requires confirmation, such as clicking the Open button
on a valve faceplate, a confirmation dialog box appears. Clicking on the OK butt o n
records changes in the PCS 7 operator’s Log.
File: @Common_ConfirmationBox.PDL
1.6 Operator Change Confirmation
DBA adds a ConfirmChange extende d attribute for each APACS+ fu nction block
instance ( See the DBA help file f or details). This co ntrols 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.
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.

1.9 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 can
not be assigned to a process area for user authorization enforcement.
At runtime, the discrete I/O button provides the ability to edit any existing B OOL
type tag. All changes to the BOOL tag are recorded in the WinCC operator’s 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 operator’s 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 moni tor to display the t rend group on are
configurable.
Use the properties dialog box to configure th e Mouse Action for the object.
1.10 Redundant Server Architecture
In a redundant server architecture, client nodes connect to the appropriate server
based on the health of each server and the health of the network connection
between the client and each server.
The health of any APACS+ controller, and the health of the server’s connection to
any APACS+ c ontroller are not factors in determining which server a given client
will connect to.
Information about the health of APACS+ controllers is displayed on the Lifebeat
monitoring page.

The APACS+ source address is displayed in the lower right hand corner of the
standard view for each block type (in this case HMI_TEST2_CSIM.INC1.SL).

A5E00595267-01
1.12 Synchronization and Persistence 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 alrea dy 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.
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 colum n with PE RSIST or SYNC (cas e
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", "f", or "false" (case does not matter) to NOT ENABLE this
option for that tag. Any other value including a blank will ENABLE the option for
that tag.

Here is an example:
; This is a comment
: Tag , EXTRA, PERSIST, SYNC, EXTRA, EXTRA
Tag1_PS
Tag2_P S , , 1, 10
Tag3_PS , , yes, -1
Tag4_P , , True, 0
Tag5_P,,attr1=55:attr2=100,F
Tag6_P,,t,FALSE,,
Tag7_P , , , False
Tag8_S,,f,,,,
Tag9_S,,f,+
Tag10_S,,f,aaaaa=bbb,,,
Tag11_S , , f
; another comment
; Define columns in different order in same file
: Tag , SYNC, EXTRA, EXTRA
Tag20_S
Tag21_S,+,sss,wwww
Tag22_S , 1
In this example, all the tags with a suffix of _P will only be added to the PERSIST
list, _S will only be added to the SYNC list, and _PS will be added to both. This file
shows the defaulted TRUE for blank or missing option columns.
An option column can also contain a name/value series which will be further
processed to add additional attributes to the output XML Node. The format should
be as follows:
attrname1=attrvalue1:attrname2=attrvalue2
Notice that an option column value can contain one or more name/value pairs
separated by a colon (:).

• Clicking any of the edit boxes produces an analog input edit box. Range limits
(if configured) are enforced by the WinCC Data Manager.
• In the case of the APACS+ ported blocks running in the PCS 7 OS, all of the
user editable fiel ds are available and enabled. In the case of the APACS+
blocks running in an ACM or CCM, the function block will have at most four of
twelve alarm types configured. The fields for each unused alarm type are
hidden in the user interface. This will happen automatically because the PCS 7
OS attribute of the field is not mapped to the ACM or CCM.

faceplate is in loop display mode, this action is ignored since the interlocks view
is already being displayed.
• Clicking the Open or Close buttons brings up a confirmation box, if
ConfirmChange is TRUE. These buttons are only enabled when the function
block is in Manual mode.
• Clicking the Reset button brings up a confirm at ion box, if ConfirmChange is

Interlocks View
The Interlocks view displays permit status and description, and interlock status and
descriptions. It also allows the user to place the block into and out of override
mode. Note that this faceplate view is not specific to the VALVE_A_AFB function
block. Every function block that implements multiple interlock inputs references this
.PDL file.
The Interlocks view actually has 11 interlock status indicators. The VALVE_A and
VALVE_A_ALM blocks only have 10 interlock inputs, so the 11th indicator is
hidden in these cases. The MOTOR_A and MOTOR_A_ALM blocks, which have
11 interlock inputs, will display all 11 indicators.
Interlock indicators are displayed for all interlock inputs that have a non-blank
interlock description. Unused or unconfigured interlocks should be configured with
a blank interlock description in 4-mation. The faceplate will not display indicators
for these unused interlocks.
Interlocks Operation and Controls
• The Override button allows the operator to put the block into override. This
button is only enabled when the function block is not in override.
• The Clear Override button allows the operator to take the block out of override.
This button is only enabled when the function block is in override.

• Status Indicators (12): In each case, the description is displayed for the
appropriate input. If the input is TRUE (1) the text is black on a green
background. If the input is FALSE (0) the text is white on a red background. If
the description for an interlock is NULL, its Status indicator will be blank (same
as gray background) regardless of TRUE or FALSE value. This generally
means that this interlock is not in use and has a default value of TRUE.
However, there is the possibility that an inter lock is in use bu t has no description
configured in the block (by oversight) and in the case, the operator will not be
able to see the Status indicator of the interlock that may be preventing valve
operation.
• Clicking the Override button brings up a confirmation box, if ConfirmChange is
TRUE. This button is only enabled when the function block is not in override
mode.
• Clicking the Clear O verride button brings up a confirmation box, if
ConfirmChange is TRUE. This button is only enabled when the function block is
in override mode.
