Simple STD_symbols

These are basic UI elements such as value displays, bar displays, indicators, LEDs, etc. The symbols are pure graphical symbols (WinCC OA panel references) provided without any data points and only configured on leaf elements. You can use the symbols with different data types. There are also organizational functions such as user displays, hard disks, etc.

The simple STD_symbol components include:

  • Panel references, part references

  • Child panels (e.g. show measured value information via a mouse click)

  • One catalog file per catalog section

  • Icons for catalogs (in the <wincc_oa_path>/images directory)

Because simple standard symbols only require little configuration (in some cases you just need to assign a data point element), this chapter will not describe all symbols in detail. We will select one representative symbol from each group, describing its configuration and information panels.

The following figure shows the symbol catalog with standard symbols.
