The parameter XXX_Unit is used to specify the unit of measure for the corresponding input parameter (XXX stands for a specific parameter, for example,
PV_Unit). Entry is carried out in the form of a code. Exactly one unit of measure is assigned to each code and is displayed on the faceplate.
You can interconnect the XXX_Unit input parameter of a technologic block with the XXXUnit output parameter of an analog input channel block. At the
analog input channel block, enter the unit of measure at the XXXUnit input parameter (XXX stands for a specific parameter, for example PV_InUnit,
PVOutUnit).
If the parameter value of XXX_Unit is out of range (that is, the value is not defined), the faceplate displays "!undef.!" in the place of unit.
Note
Special notes for channel blocks PCS7AnIn, PCS7AnOu, FbAnIn and FbAnOu
You can use the S7_enum attribute to display the unit in plain text in the CFC editor for these blocks.
Note
In block icons, the update/refresh time of the units is 1 h. If the unit is changed from CFC, the new unit will be visible in the block icon after 1 hour or if
the process picture is reloaded. In faceplates, the update/refresh time of the units is 5 seconds, so the new unit will be visible after 5 s.
Customer-specific units
It is possible to use units which differ from the IEC 611582 standard. You can define your own units in the range 1 to 199 in an XML file.
The name of the XML should be APLCustomerUnits.xml and should be placed in the project path in the folder "GraCS" on both server and client.
The "Unit id" value should be given to XXX_Unit parameter in the function blocks.
Note
The XML is read-only once when WinCC runtime is activated. If any changes are done in the XML later, you must deactivate, close, and activate the WinCC runtime
again to reflect the changes.
Using the unit of measure with controllers for the ConPerMon block
For controller blocks, the current unit of measure is output via output parameter XX_UnitOut . If you use the ConPerMon block, you must switch this
output parameter with the corresponding input parameter XXX_Unit on the ConPerMon block.
If you set the xxx_Unit parameter to 0, the entry is displayed by the S7_Unit attribute in the faceplate and in the block symbol.

Note
Due to space constraints on the system, not all units referred to can be displayed in totality. The display of the measurement units is left-aligned. If you
want to abbreviate the unit of measurement, use the function Customer-specific units.
