What's new in V19


The following functions are newly available with SIMATIC Visualization Architect V19:
Rule editor: "Advanced Tag Rule Editor"

The new rule editor offers full control for the generation of HMI tags, e.g. generation of

multiplex tags.

Support of additional screen objects for WinCC Unified

PLC code view

Graph overview

Screen windows

Improvement of SiVArc expressions

The expression "FolderPath" now provides better results when using S7 units.

The expression Block.Parameters("Name") can now also read the value of PLC user constants.

The "Split" function now also works with strings in addition to individual characters.

Evaluations based on the key words True and False are no longer case-sensitive. The

comparison value is interpreted, e.g.

when "false", "False", or 0 = False, the result would be correct

Other properties that can be changed by SiVArc:

"Mode" property for the symbolic IO field.

Logging tags are supported for the trend control.

Improvement of the Property configurator:

The resource type can be selected for the symbolic IO field.

Improved handling of alarms.

Improvement of the generation of multilingual texts:

SiVArc now generates the languages based on the project languages. As a result,

regeneration is no longer necessary after adding another Runtime language to a device.

6 Manual, 11/2024
Improvement of usability

Cut & Paste is supported in the rule editors.

The SiVArc expression at the interface or event of a Unified faceplate is retained even after

the interface or event is renamed.

Entries for the rules in a rule group can be specified in the row of the rule group. This

reduces maintenance effort.

Deleted objects are listed by name in the log file.
