Automation and Drives - SCE

As a Maximum Value, enter 1000.

From the symbols of the color mixing plant, select the variable “CONTENT_T1“ as process variable.

The WinCC flexible variable “CONTENT_T1“ was generated automatically as process variable. By double clicking on Variables in the project window, additional settings can be made.

Change the data collection cycle of the variable to 100ms. The variable will now be updated every 100ms.The movement of the bar -that is, the tank level- is now shown as flowing.

Note

Communication influences the cycle time of the SIMATIC S7 300 controller. If there is a large number of variables, the data collection cycle of each variable should be weighed carefully.
