@@outlierautomation Short Answer: Yes. Rambling answer: I am used to the old "comfort-able" way of a button making the faceplate visible. WinCC unified seems to use picture/screen windows or containers even and scripts. The scenario I am most familiar with is say a motor object on the screen. Clicking on it brings up a "faceplate". Faceplate has "ON/OFF" button etc to give motor commands and status to/from Motor UDT instance DB in PLC. Also maybe you could provide some clarification between pop ups, faceplates and faceplate containers. Thank you for providing content in such a concise and digestable manner.
Hi, great video. Big like. Is there a way to connect faceplate to PLC tags before putting it into HMI screen ? I mean if I have faceplate for multiple screens I dont want to set up connection between faceplate and PLC tags manually in every screen or when I will chnage some connection, it will be updated in all of faceplates. Hope you got it. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I am not aware of a way to reference global data outside of a faceplate. I think you could get this working if you used screen windows and scripting though. Check out page 51 of the Javascript Tips and Tricks. You can set which tags the parameters of the faceplate are connected to by updating them with a script. support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109758536/simatic-wincc-unified-tips-and-tricks-for-scripting-(javascript)?dti=0&lc=en-WW
in scripting you could refer to the other buttons properties to read or write a value. see page 36 of the manual you can download from here support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109758536/simatic-wincc-unified-tips-and-tricks-for-scripting-(javascript)?dti=0&lc=en-WW

Hi, which wincc Unified version are you using? I'm using V16 and the faceplate for wincc unified doesn't appear
This was V17. I would recommend upgrading to V18. They have been adding a lot of features to Unified because they are actively developing the product.
