Dear All, for one of my project, i want to use electronic signature to log all the events of wincc. I was studying the procedure about "showdialog" script. Now my question is that where should i write this script? Thanks in advance.

Hi

well can i ask you why you require electronic signature, because the same is used in F & B application,

I could only find for HMI application, i hope that it can give you some idea.

Link1

you will have to write the code in global script, so that the code run on and on. Rnf:lblSmileyTooltip_ think

Well,
My Customer wants to log all the events done by operator in form of Alarms.

So i think it could be done with Electronic Signature.

Hi

If that is the case then are you using PCS7, as this feature is default in it.

If now then you will need to go to IO field and select the miscellanous tab in that you will find "Operator Archive report". this property will archive the operator actions in the WinCC alarm control.

See the attached picture for your reference.

Hello Amit_86,

sorry, that link didn't work.
There are some problems using MDM (My Documentation Manager) at the moment.
If I test it in office it works without problems, but it doesn't work in your case.

I have already informed moderators of forum. Until there isn't found a reason/solution I can only give you link to complete manual, without using MDM.
Please look at chapter: Structure of User Administration>WinCC Options for Administrators>
Option SIMATIC Logon>How to configure an electronic signature (and the following documents)

Best regards

Hi,

the theme "Electronic Signature" is very complex. One part cloud be to sign the action if you are acknowledging a message ((http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/52329908) or it cloud be necesary that one or more persons mus signed an operation (e.g. a change of a set point, starting a batch, release the next next, ...). As far as I know the colleagues from the WinCC Competence Center Mannheim have made s demo project the this case. Please contact them directly (winccaddon.automation@siemens.com)

Greetings
Michel

I am also intrested in "electronic signature topic". I am looking a good example, and some detailed information about " CCESigDlg". (We have audit option RC and RT)

My task is ask two (or if it is not possible only 1) different electronic signature to an event of a button.

I have found some information in Wincc help. For exampe a VBS script exampe, but only this example is documented "forcecomment" switch.

Sub OnClick(ByVal Item)

Dim myesig

Dim mycomment

Dim ret

Set myesig = CreateObject("CCEsigDlg.ESIG")

'comment optional

myesig.forcecomment = false

ret = myesig.showDialog("winccadmin","winccadmin","SIMLOGSERV",1031,mycomment)

End Sub

In example (both C and VBS), user who make electronic signature is predefined as a string. ("winccadmin"), i want to use a dialog what have editable username field. Is it possible. Or do i have to ask the example project from Manheim? :)))

Hello labirex,

yes, for sure you can ask CC Mannheim.
You bought Add-on there, and they also have got a hotline.
