Master Data Point - Default Value

[MrKintaro]

Hi,

Maybe is a stupid question but I need an urgent solution.

I created a Master DP from a DP that I created.

Afterword I wanted to create a multiple element of the DPT.

I decided to use Excel Plugin.

I imported the DP and the strange thing is that the feature to set a Defaul_Value for a single element is missing.

Am I wrong? I tried different time and exportation but is not working.

I need this features becasue for example the name of the picture to show is set in DPE and do I need to write this string manually?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

from your description I could not see what you really want to do.
Do you want to set an original value when importing the ASCII-file or do you want to configure the _default-config?

My problem is when I create the master data point and I use the Excel Plugin.

There is no possibility to set the Original Value of the DP that I want to create with the Excel.

Thanks.

Hello,

original values are normally not copied to the instances.
If you want to copy a configuration from the master datapoint to the instances it must be a part of powerconfig configuration. For the _original config right now a powerconfig is not available.
To copy the original values you can write an own script using the CTRL-function dpCopyOriginal().
Another possibility would be to create an own powerconfig which reads/writes the original value. If you define a variable which can be changed by the user you'll see this parameter in the ASCII-files using format V3/V4.

For detailed information concering powerconfigs please have a look at the WinCC OA online help in chapter "Mass configuration".
