Well, when the PLC sends something outbound to the HMI it updates quicker. I was using the PLC to control the screens, which was responding quickly. But the stuff that the HMI has to update takes that 60 seconds.
right. but am i wrong in my way of thinking above? just to clarify what im trying to do, cliff notes the best i can. id like to use the CurrSysUser global tag and set an external tag in the Tag Editor within CCW that will store the CurrSysUser string data. then setup some logic within the ladder that would look at that Tag i created above and compare it to the multiple users that are able to log into the HMI. that will then evaluate true or false, setting a boolean bit which i could then use to feedback to the HMI and it would say "hey this user is logged in", so i could use that bit as a Visibility bit with CCW so certain buttons will appear on the screen only if certain users are logged in.
so say i go and hit Login on the main screen on the HMI, i log in and as soon as thats successful i land back on the main screen of the program. it could then take 60 SECONDS for that CurrSysUser global tag to update so youd have to potentially sit there for a minute and wait for the buttons that are only visible to your specific login appear on the screen? thats ludicrous
