How to add a standard symbol to a panel is described in the following.

  1. Select the WinCC OA object catalog in the GEDI via View > Catalogue > <version_path>.

  2. Select the object catalog STD_PANELS.

  3. Select e.g. the object AESRow and add it via drag and drop to the panel. The following configuration panel is opened for the configuration of the object:

Figure 1. Reference configuration

You can select a configuration via the panel. Configurations can be created via the table configuration panel of the alert and event panel (the panel is opened via System management > Settings > AES - Row/Screen). If you e.g. want to change the size of the AlertRow symbol you can do it via overriding in the GEDI. For more information on overriding see chapter properties of references and overridden configuration.

  1. Define a name for the reference.

  2. Add the reference to the panel via the OK button.

  3. Save the panel and open it. The current alerts are shown:
