Hi,

I migrated a project with several CPu's and 1 WinCCflex project from WinCcflex SP2 to SP3.

When I browse to a PLC tag in WinCCflex, it not only shows my 7 CPU's (which are defined at the connections tab and are connected over an ethernet network), but also all the profibus DP members (each CPU has a separate profibus network).
With all these DP members, it is difficult to find the CPU's in the list, I now have al list of +50 devices, instead of just my 7 CPU's.

Also, when WinCCflex (editor) starts up, it gives al lot of warnings on these devices that routing and tags are not possible.

In SP2, I didn't have this 'problem'

Is there a settings somewhere to turn of the visibility of these DP devices when browsing for tags?

Kris_pgc,

Did you find a solution for your problem? 

I have the exact same problem after updating from SP2 to SP3. Also updating to SP3 update 2 didn't make a difference.

Nope, I did not find a solution, I just got used to it sad

and with all the attention going to (the new) TIA, I doubt that there will be future upgrades to WinCC flex...

Hi,

Siemens released a new update.
Installing WinCC Flexible 2008 SP3 update 3 has resolved this issue for me.

Hello

Do you start a support request?
What said the customer support to your problem?

I found in the Readme this:

Selecting the hardware component in the tag dialog

The tag dialog displays hardware components that do not contain tags that can be used for

HMI devices.
