I have a PV+ 1500 programmed using FT Studio ME. I have created some pop up displays which allow the operator to confirm the action or cancel. The operator presses the start button on the screen. This is a go to screen button, with the screen type set to 'on top'. This opens the 'are you sure?' window. The cancel button is a close display button, no problems there it works fine. The accept button is a macro button. The macro starts the action, records the time and date, and who was logged on when the button was pressed and also needs to close the pop up display. I can't find a 'close display' macro button so I have to set the RemoteDisplayTag to the value of the screen the original start button is on. Because the Remote DisplayTag is then non zero the operator can't navigate off that screen. To get around that problem I run a condition script on the screen so whenever it opens it clears the RemoteDisplayTag to 0.
Problem is it only works some of the time so at random I'm left with a non navigable HMI
Does anyone have a better way of creating pop up windows? or is there a macro command I'm not aware of?
Thanks
