Configuration issues of the digital monitoring block MonDil in PCS7
Thread Content
In PCS7, regarding the configuration issues of the digital monitoring block MonDil, how should it be configured so that an alarm indicator flashes when IN is set to 1?
Now here’s the question: there are two blocks, both using MonDil from CFC. The text in their I/O tables, namely Text 0 and Text 1, is different. When the value is 1, the BACKGROUND of the PROCESS VALUE in one panel flashes, while it doesn’t flash in the other. How is this configured?

I keep feeling that the settings in I/O are incorrect, but I’ve checked both of them; only the file displayed is different, everything else is the same. There are also differences on the panel – in the upper left corner where the alarm flashes, there’s an ‘A’ character that flashes as well. In those areas where there’s no flashing, there’s no ‘A’ character; instead, only a ‘P’ character flashes
It seems that very few people use PCS7
If the io parameters are set the same but the icons differ, it might be due to someone having modified the icons privately
The simplest solution is to find an existing DI module whose display is working properly, and copy the entire CFC from it. Then replace the address of the input variable inside with the address of the new variable you want to add. I think the reason for this problem might be that it was done by the manufacturer’s engineers in the past, or it was dragged from the CFC library by you yourself. If dragging it yourself, you need to choose the correct CFC library. If the choice is wrong, problems like yours can occur; I hope this helps.
Yes, this is the simplest method, used only in applications; I just don’t know why it has to be done this way!
