6 Conversion of a PCS 7/TM Project from WinCC 4.0x to 5.x
This conversion requires special knowledge and should be reali zed by appropriate qualified personal
only. Following are the steps to be considered in short.
This explanation is valid for the language selection “Germ an”.
A project that was created under WinCC 4.02 or an earlier version mus t first be converted for PCS7/
WinCC 5.x. The procedure that is described in the WinCC product information ( "ReleaseNotes") must
basically be used. Observe this procedure.
To show this clearly, we point out the following mandatory steps:
• Open the project with WinCC, V5.x
• Edit the Split Screen Wizard
With single-user systems or multi-client systems, the area overvie w on the server now contains 16
areas instead of 12 previously.
With multi-client systems, one out of two area overviews can be selected on the multi-client:
• Across all servers with a total of 16 areas.
• Server-specific overview with 12 areas and an add itional 6 server buttons,
Recommendation for the selection of the area overview in clients of m ulti-client systems:
The first variant should be selected in a system of no more than a total of 16 areas. The second
variant should be preferred in systems of more than 16 areas.
• Edit the Alarm Logging Wizard
• Convert the graphic images
• Convert the global library
• Convert the project library
• Open tag logging and save to terminate.
• Open the Picture Tree Manager and save to term inate it.
It can happen upon the migration of projects from WinCC version V4.0x to W inCC version 5 that
an OCX in a graphic image is either not recognized ("unknown object") or that the properties are
no longer visible in the Graphics Designer. The corresponding OCX m ust newly be placed in ei-
ther case. Failure to do so will produce an error message when the Picture T ree Manager is
saved.
