The Ci synchroniKation time is rele&ant 'hen you acti&ate a confiuration chane in the 45

! Ci action interrupts operation on the !S at a maimum for this time. This is set %y the system toa hih limit of 9 second and is monitored %y the system. Durin this time process outputs and

process inputs are -ept at the last &alid &alues.

,nsure you do not eceed a Ci synchroniKation time of 9 second.

SCF 93A may not %e used to set the Ci synchroniKation time in PCS 7.

For multilinual pro?ects you must add all display lanuaes that 'ill later %e needed in the

SI!TIC anaer (menu command L/ptions $ 1anuae for display de&icesM %efore the first /S

compilation and supplement all re;uired lanuaes to "1anuaes installed in the pro?ect").

The /S transfer must %e performed in the same lanuae in 'hich the chanes 'ere made.

For eample if you import Spanish tets (lanuae for display de&ices@ Spanish) you must also

perform the /S transfer in this lanuae. /ther'ise the chaned tets 'ill not %e added to the

=inCC tet li%rary. If prior to this ho'e&er you set *erman for eample and then perform the /S

compilin no chane (in *erman tet) is reconiKed and no tet is transferred.

In order to also use tets from the PCS7 li%rary in =inCC you can only select the follo'in S7

The tets for Spanish (international) are con&erted to tets for Spanish (traditional) 'hen the /S is

compiled. The same applies if you 'ant to translate your o'n tets into one of the fi&e main

lanuaes and import them into your pro?ect usin the menu command L/ptions $ anae

multilinual tetsM. For other lanuaes refer to the lanuaes a&aila%le in =inCC. It is not possi%le

to use different &ariants or sortins of a lanuae in parallel for =inCC i.e. you cannot use ,nlish

Tets for analo &alue and %inary &alue conditions in faceplates are ta-en from the ne' 27.3 %loc-s

The /PC !N, ser&er uses DC/ ser&ices for transferrin messaes %et'een /PCcapa%le

The follo'in chapter eplains the representation of the =inCC messae system on /PC !N, 'ith

hierarchical access and the attri%utes supported %y the /PC !N, ser&er. This documentation

includes an o&er&ie' of the specific information. For more information refer to the "/PC !larms N

Princip!e

The /PC !N, client recei&es =inCC messaes &ia su%scription. ou can use the su%scription filter

to reduce the num%er of e&ents that 'ill %e transferred 'ith a su%scription. The /PC !N, client can

Simple e&ents are messaes that inform the /PC !N, client a%out e&ents. Simple e&ents include

the launchin and closin of prorams.

Mapping the WinCC message system on /PC A8 $ith hierarchica! access

The /PC source of the =inCC user tet %loc- "Source" and the /PC messae of =inCC user tet

system.

Intro#uction

The priority of messaes is mapped %y the /PC !N, ser&er to the attri%ute "Se&erity".

=hen confiurin alarms in the messain system you can confiure a priority %et'een "3" and

"9>". The /PC !N, specification defines a &alue rane of "9" to "9333" for the se&erity. In this case

"9" stands for the lo'est and "9333" for the hihest se&erity.

Therefore the &alues of the priority are suita%ly displayed to the /PC se&erity. In the standard

mappin priority "3" is assined to /PC se&erity "9" and priority "9>" to /PC se&erity "9333". !llother priority &alues are interpolated linearly %et'een "3" and "9333".
