New system functions
Synchronization of time from HMI to PLC
Change user without screen change
Logout via system function
Activate clean screen
System functions for accurate writing of tags (“inching”)
System variables to read /set the operating state of S7-1200 & S7-1500 PLCs
New object
Text
Clock object with analogue and digital display
Improved mass tag creation
Improved compiling
Miscellaneous new features for efficient screen engineering

Standardization
Library handling and versioning

• Text lists available in the library

Improvement on searching

• Global search for faceplate types and script module types
• Local search in scripts
  Faceplates
• Dynamic data connections for faceplates available (aka tag prefix)
• Enable execution of cyclic scripts or scripts triggered by tag changes when the faceplate is not visible
• Faceplate type resizing
• Automatic adaption of the faceplate size to its contents
• Select the minimal distance to border
• Text lists usable in faceplates

SIMATIC WinCC Unified Corporate Designer

• Create your user defined styles based on the style library, import it in your project and assign it to your WinCC Unified device.
• Create your custom color and font palettes once and then assign them efficiently to your elements and controls.
