Closing NA pop up window automatically

[Jaiiyer]

Hi,

is it possible to close the sysmac studio popup window automatically without the press of any button? basically after the pop up window is opened for certain amount of time the window closes by itself.

Yes, with VB script. There are a few ways but I would personally run a Global subroutine every second, in that subroutine you establish a time (in seconds) at which you force a screen change. In this example if the popup is the current page the script will force a screen change to "Main" after 270 seconds:

Sub popTimer
	
	If _HMI_CurrentPage = "Popup" Then
		accum = accum+1
		If accum >270 Then
			_HMI_CurrentPage = "Main"
		End If
	Else
		accum = 0			
	End If
End Sub

I found a way to do it. Set a variable when the page is open (lets call it PAGEOPEN). Use global events to monitor PAGEOPEN and a onesecpulse variable from PLC(i used Get1sClk block) and increment a local variable. And when the local variable goes beyond certain number you can close the page it in global events and reset the variable
