NAiS GT01 Display and EASY512 PLC

[gregjwilson]

Has anyone used these two in combination? I had these in the shop and want to trigger various warning screens on the GT01 with the EASY-512 PLC. Any easy tricks with the NAiS display?

Nothing tricky is necessary.
Any GT has 3 consecutive PLC registers defined for communication with PLC (see GT configuration, Basic Setup).
The first register is the display screen selector from PLC and the last one is the actual screen number indicator.

Thanks Sergei. But how do I get that info into the Easy-Soft ladder logic?

 

[Sergei Troizky]

Upload the GT project and see the mentioned Basic Setup to discover the screen selector and indicator registers.
After that all the work has to be done in the PLC.
You must write the code for decision about screen switching and switch the screens by writing to the screen selector register.
