Last time we looked at how additional windows can be opened in WinCC OA. Now let's start creating a complete operator system interface. As a rule, in an automated process control system, the operator system consists of a navigation area (transition between mnemonic diagrams) located in the upper part of the screen, the main working area and an alarm area located in the lower part.
We create the Main panel, into which we will embed the rest of the components. Make its size larger than the Flaps panel.
Using Cut and Paste (cut / paste), transfer the alarm panel from the Flaps panel to the Main panel and adjust the size of the alarm panel.
Let's create buttons to open the Flaps and Trends panels.
It remains to define the main work area, where the main mnemonic diagrams will be located. In WinCC OA, this work area is called the Embedded Module (analogous to the Screen Window or Picture Window of a portal or classic WinCC). Embedded Module literally means Embedded Module. If in the previous part a certain external module was created, then in this example the module intended for displaying panels is integrated into the panel. The Embedded Module is located among the graphical editor tools

I draw your attention to the fact that a module is some kind of independent entity. It doesn't matter where this module is located, whether it is created as a separate window or integrated into another panel, it remains a module. Therefore, within a single user interface, the module name must be unique.
Let's make cosmetic changes in the Flaps and Trends panels, remove unnecessary elements (the alarm panel and the button on the right), and resize the panels.
Launch the Main.pnl window for execution and check the behavior of the FLAPS and TRENDS buttons. Everything should work. If it doesn't work, look for errors.
