Hello everyone,


I'm having trouble solving this one and was hoping someone could help. I have a AB CompactLogix L16ER PLC connected to a AB PanelView Plus 7 Standard. What I'm trying to do is switch screens when specific steps are reached in auto mode, but still allow the operator to manually select screens whenever they want. I thought I could do this by putting a ONS in to switch the screens just for one scan, but I saw a slow update rate in the HMI and decided to add a timer. For some reason it's only working about 25% of the time, any ideas?


Attached ss of logic and pertinent hmi settings.

Write the screen number to screen select. When current screen = screen select, ONS clear screen select back to zero. I don't have one handy to try, there's a chance those two tags / connections are swapped.

I wonder if it's worthwhile to put a >0 there also. I don't remember exactly how I've done it.
