SiVArc – Generation Templates
• Generation templates are HMI objects from the

library which are not only configured with fixed
defined WinCC properties but also with SiVArc
properties.
• A SiVArc property is an object property, which is first

assigned as tag/expression.
• SiVArc properties are only filled with texts, such as

the object name, labels or a tag designation
during the generation.
"SiVArc properties" tab is only available for objects supported by SiVArc.

• You generate one generation template per HMI

object.
• SiVArc properties are evaluated when the HMI

objects are generated. Object properties, such as
"Label" or "Name", are generated.
You can configure the templates using the plug-ins editor.

SiVArc - Usability Improvement for SiVArc

SiVArc – Expressions
SiVArc expression accesses text sources via SiVArc

objects. The SiVArc objects address blocks in the
program call in STEP 7, in the HMI device or library
data.
SiVArc expressions are used for the following

configurations:
• Formulate conditions for generating HMI objects.
• Dynamic generation of properties, events and
animations for the visualization.
A SiVArc expression is a function that returns a text.

Open the text editor

to have the
autocompletion
function.

Local expressions:
• Expression that can be used only in the element in

which it was configured.
Global expressions:
• Expression which can be used within the project

library and the global library.
• Can be used globally by invoking the name of the
expression.
There are two types of SiVArc expressions.

SiVArc – Global expressions
Type the SiVArc

expression.
click "Create new

expression" to add a new
expression
SiVArc expressions editor allows you to add, define, and group expression
which can be used within the project library and the global library.
SiVArc – Global expressions
The object is made available

within the object picker of the
expression editor
Drag and drop the created

expressions as objects within
the Project/Global library
The expression can be reused in multiple instances.

4 SiVArc rules
6 SiVArc overview

SiVArc - Workflow


SiVArc – Processing of rules
The following principles apply to screen rules:
• You must define a screen rule for each screen

object to be generated.
• If you want to generate different screen objects

from a program block, you must define a screen
rule with a condition for each screen object.
• The objects are created in the order of the screen

rules.
SiVArc executes the user program during generation.

If a rule applies to a function block, the rule is executed.
During next generation:
• When you change a SiVArc rule, generated objects

based on this rule are overwritten.
• When you delete a rule, generated objects

associated with this rule are automatically removed.
You can add, delete or modify a rule at any time within any rule editor.

Changes to the controller:
• If you delete a PLC with which you have already

generated a visualization, all objects generated with
this PLC are deleted during the next generation.
• If you delete/add a block call in the user program

and generate it once again, the objects generated
with SiVArc (HMI objects, screens, tags) are
automatically deleted/added.
You can modify the PLC program at any time and apply those changes
to the visualization during the next generation.
SiVArc – Rules
• SiVArc rules are a key functionality of SiVArc and

have a direct relationship to the PLC program.
• Changes can therefore be implemented centrally

and throughout the project.
• The various SiVArc rules define different generation

tasks.
SiVArc rules define how HMI objects are processed during generation.

SiVArc – Rules editors
• Screen rules define which control objects are

created.
• Tag rules store the external tags generated by
SiVArc in a structured manner.
• Text list rules create text lists in the device.
• Copy rules copy HMI objects without a PLC
connection from the library.
• Generation overview displays the screens, screen
objects, tags and text lists in the project that were
generated by SiVArc.
• Generation matrix displays the screens and screen
objects of a selected device.
SiVArc editors are located in the project tree.

entries for sorted columns rows. above/below. column.
Filter SiVArc rules Export/Import rules Create a new Show/Hide HMI device
in the editor. to/from MS Excel rule group. type/devices column
Icons in the toolbar depends on the selected rule editor.

SiVArc – Generating text list
• In the "Text list rules" editor, you define SiVArc rules

according to which text lists are generated for
various devices.
• When you generate the visualization, the text list is

created in the "Text and Graphic Lists“ editor.
• Text lists used for the generation must be in the

Library.
A text list rule specifies which text list is generated for a program block.

SiVArc – Generating alarms
• With SiVArc alarm rules editor you can generate

alarms, alarm classes automatically.
• Alarms/alarm groups/classes used for the

generation must be in the Library.
During SiVArc generation, the system processes the rules

accordingly and generates the alarm objects.
SiVArc – Copy rules
• Use library rules to systematically copy a large

number of objects according to specific project
criteria.
• When you generate, objects that are interconnected

to scripts, you use the copy rules to ensure that
these scripts also exist on the HMI device.
• Create internal tags and tag tables, initially for

only one HMI device. SiVArc can copy them
automatically to all other devices.
A copy rule copies HMI objects based on master copies or types

when generating the visualization.
SiVArc - Copy rule for scripts
- Global modules
- functions

SiVArc - Support Expressions related to Device Resolution
Expresion for Device Screen

Resolution:
• HmiDevice.Resolution.Height
• HmiDevice.Resolution.Width
Use to conditional
generate objects
depending on the Device
Screen resolution
SiVArc Expression HmiDevice.Resolution.Height and HmiDevice.Resolution.Width can be used for Unified

Devices

SiVArc – Generating tags
• According to the settings, SiVArc generates either

all tags or only those used in the project.
• External tags are stored in tag tables and groups in

the project tree according to your structuring
specifications.
• SiVArc generates external tags for instance data

blocks and global data blocks.
SiVArc generates an external HMI tag for each PLC tag with the option "Accessible from HMI".

SiVArc – Tag rules editor

You can select which tag rules will be executed in the next generation.

SiVArc Rule - Tables as versioned Type in Library
• Not supported for the default rule

tables
• Same library handling as for

UDTs and PLC blocks
• Export and Import function

supported
• Version status and control
• Terminate connection to the

library type when needed
User-defined rule tables can be versioned as type in the library.

Screen, Tag, Text list, Copy and Alarm rule tables

SiVArc - Workflow


SiVArc – Generate visualization
Right-click the HMI Device and select “Generate the visualization (SiVArc)”.

Whether the generated instance is the “default” type or

the most current version, depends on the SiVArc settings.
• A dialog for station selection is displayed the first

time generation is started in a project.
• In the dialog select the devices for which SiVArc is

to generate the visualization.
• The available selection of stations is stored after the

first generation. Every following generation is
based on this selection.
If your project contains several HMI devices or connected PLCs, SiVArc generates the
visualization for the HMI devices and PLCs you have selected.
Generation types:
• Without station selection: The generation runs

with the station selection configured in the first time
generation dialog.
• With station selection: Displays the dialog to

select the station selection.
SiVArc generates the HMI objects based on the SiVArc rules and saves them according to the
configuration.
Scope of the generation:
• Tag generation mode under "Options > Settings >

SiVArc”.
• Exempt rules from generation in the rule editors.
• Exempt devices from generation in the generation

dialog.
When generating the visualization, you generate HMI objects depending on the texts and
structures of the user program.
You can find the complete overview of

all the elements generated with SiVArc
in "Common data > SiVArc".
The generation overview is created during the first generation and updated in future generations.
