WinCC (v6 - old school!!) question

[uptown47]

I've got an old WinCC project and I'm trying to check what tag address certain values relate to.

I have a screen that refers to "Pallet_Data_Description" which, when running, translates to an actual value (such as "Pusher Low Speed Set").

I can find the Pallet_Data_Description tag under "Internal Tags" and, if I hover over it, it gives me the text associated with it (see attached image). But if I go into properties of it I can't seem to find where the 'text' is defined nor what actual PLC address it related to?? (see other attached image)

Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Take a look in scripts, it's most likely been used there.

Hi Rob

Thanks for getting back to me. I've had a look under Global Scripts and there's nothing relating to it in either the C or the VBS side of things?

Any other ideas??

Cheers

Scratch my earlier answer.... you were right!!!!

I was looking in the scripts searching for some of the text that was on the screen. However, I've taking a closer look, there is a VB script that connects to a database and the database contains the text!

So the script is just parsing the text in and then iterating through a loop to set the internal tags.

A big thanks for your help Rob. I wouldn't have got there without you.

Cheers

Check the Limits/Reporting tab, there is an option to activate and set a start value.

If it's not set or the value is not the same as the current, then there may be a script anywhere where these variables are set.

Thanks for the info Thomas. I've managed to sort it now but appreciate your input. Cheers
