denise01 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Hello, I have designed Alarm and Event Screens to pop up when their relevent output is on. The operaters then acknowledge the alarm and return the screen to its main screen one event needs to be shown but I want its screen to go back to the main screen as soon as its output has disappeared so that the operaters will just see it as an event and not an alarm. is it possible to do this.

Mendon Systems Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 That depends on your system configuration. If you have the system memory ($SW0 - $SW40) assigned to PLC memory addresses you can do it within your PLC program by writing the screen number into the appropriate register. That might be $SW0 if the alarm screen is a main screen or $SW1, $Sw4, or $SW7 for a popup window. There is more information in section 3 of the NS programming manual. Quote
denise01 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 Many Thanks Dick, I tried what you advised at work last night Switched screen on through $SW 11 which was w11 in work area. Cant seem to make the screen go back to the original screen when the bit turns off. Maybe have got the wrong end of the stick will try again tonight. Regards Peter Quote
