General Information The "Basic Process Control" package comprises, among other things, the components : OS-ProjectEditor
This Wizard is used to configure and initi alize the monitor settings and screen settings for the current WinCC project. You should do this initialization immediately after you create a project, since other applications (Runtime, Group Display etc.) also access t his data. The Wizard defines the newly created picture (@Screen.PDL) as the Start screen. There is also a simple way of configuri ng the message system with fixed default settings (configuration of the message window, messages, message classes and creation of the process control m essages).
Pictu re Tree Manager The Picture Tree Manager is used to manage a hierarchy of application pictures, parts of application pictures, function names and pictures from the Graphics Designer. Group Display
The Group Display is an addit ional element of the Graphics Editor (Smart Object s) that is used to collect messages and events in individual pictures and / or in the picture hierarchy and to display them in the application (overview) picture. With the help of the Group Display, a malf unction or an alarm can be displayed in the overview picture. This allows the operator to switch directly to the malfunctioning system section by simply selecting it. See FAQ 17778440.
Lifebeat monitoring Lifebeat Monitoring takes over the permanent monitori ng of the individual systems (OS and AS) and generates the process control messages. After startup, the monitoring begins automatically for the configured (selected) components and is executed cyclicall y. A message is generated when one of the participants repeatedly fails to answer (af ter three successive cycles). SITRAIN Training for Automation and Industrial Solutions

Basic Process Contro l Functions - Basic data with screen subdivisions of overview, desktop and button areas - Process mimic hierarchy with graphic configuration of the picture hierarchy. (Picture Tree Manager). - Scrolling through the picture hierarchy in process control. - Storing and recalling the screen layout. - Group displays for user guidance through the graphics hierarchy - Selecting process mimics using names (in process control). - Lifebeat monitoring with system configuration diagram. - Message Configuration provides you with a simple way of configuring the message system with fixed default settings (configuration of the message window, messages, message classes and creation of the process cont rol messages). - Using external signaling device. - Enhanced graphics objects: 3D Bar graphs,Group Display. - OS-ProjectEditor for adjusting screen resolution and multi-channel operation with Multi-VGA cards and up to four monitors. Time Synchr onization With the time synchronization function, it is possible to synchronize all the clocks in the system using special cl ock masters such as Siclock or DCF77. Horn (Edito r)
For use of a signal module or sound card. The signal module has relay outputs for a horn (acoustic) or signal lamp (optic).
Note
You will require the Multi-VGA card from IGS for multi-channel operation. For activating (using) the signaling device, you will also require the signal module.
Chipc ard Reader
With the chipcard reader option, a Wi nCC user can log on with a chipcard using a reading device that is connected to a serial interface.
Note
For detailed information, you will find PCS7 courses on the Internet under: www.siemens.de/sitrain

Overview Area
Here, the up to 16 pl ant areas are displayed according to the t echnological view of the project. The Group Display indicates whether a fault exists in the respective area. Using the arrow symbol next to the area name you can show the part of the Picture Tree that belongs to this area and from there you can directly select the subarea. The overview area is always visible in Runtime.
Work Area
Here, depending on the selection, the process pi ctures are represented.
Toolbar
The PCS 7 prefabricated toolbar enables you to select typical process information (message system, measuring point inf o) or system conditions (log on, RT deactivation).

General
The following pages can also be used for exercise purposes. Requirement: BPC is installed on the computer. The settings are selected in such a way that you can assess the diff erence between the project for manufacturing automation and process automation.
Note
Before you carry out the ex ercise you should save your WinCC proj ect, since access to the "old" project i s no longer possible after the compilation with BPC. The OS Project Editor is used f or the configuration and initi alization of the monitor and picture settings for the current W inCC project.
Configuring
1. Start the OS Project Editor 2. Adopt the settings specified in the slide 3. Further settings are not necessary (default settings) 4. Start Runtime and test the result

This is what the generated project looks like in Runtime. Operator control in the toolbar is already possible. If you want to def ine your own start screen, open the
[email protected] and edit the content. Via ‘Geometry ’ you can adapt the screen size.

The Picture Tree Manager Editor is used to manage a hierarchy of plant s, subplants and pictures of the Graphi cs Designer. Configuring
1. Call all of your pictures via the Graphics Designer and adjust each picture to the picture size of 1280x 825 pixels. This corresponds to the size of the pi cture window 2. Start the Picture Tree Manager 3. Via the Projectname.MCP, activate the shortcut menu and add a container. After changing the name of the container, drag & drop a picture onto the container. Operator hierarchies can be edited any way you like. 3. Further settings are not necessary (default settings) 4. Start Runtime and test the result

Picture Navigation
Using the arrow symbol next to the area name you can show the part of the Picture Tree that belongs to this area and from there you can directly select the subarea.
Picture by Name
The pictures can also be called via the picture name. As a result, it is possible to display the picture in the work area or v ia a process window.

Configuring
If areas were already defined with the OS Project Editor, you can now rearrange or remove the areas. The Preview button shows the areas arranged with the "up" and "down" button in a prev iew window.

The "Lifebeat Monitoring" Editor is used to moni tor the connection of all server and client computers and the PLCs. Configuring
1. Start the Lifebeat Monitoring Editor 2. With a double-click, select the column Device Name and define the device name 3. With a double-click, select the column Device Type and select a name from the list that appears 4. With a double-click, select the column Connection and select your connection name from the list that appears 5. If "user-defined" was selected as the device positioning, you can call the picture "@config.pdl" via "Edit Screen" and edit it. 6. Start Runtime and test the result You can add further device names by pressing "Add". The time for the connecti on monitoring has a default value of 10 sec.
