Red Lion G310 Page Question

[DePaulC]

In Crimson 2.0, the pages have a "On Timeout" ability that will run after the alloted time has expired. I have it setup to navigate away to a separate page after the time has expired. But upon returning to the original page the "On Timeout" doesn't run a second time.

My question therefore becomes, is the "On Timeout" function a one and done type of function or is there any way to have it run every time that page has inactivity for X seconds?

It should work unless something is keeping the On Timeout function from firing. I use the On Timeout successfully all the time. Someone from Redlion will respond to our post - they always do.

The On Timeout will execute everytime there is a timeout, not just once per page. Would you be able to email me your program so I can take a look and try to duplicate this? My email is [email protected]

Thanks

Well, as I began the email I quickly tried swapping my On Timeout from a "SetIntTag" to a "Force" function to see if that may change anything and it seems to be working fine.

But to try and see where I may have been going wrong I'll include what I'd done. The time period was set to 20 seconds just for testing purposes. The On Timeout function I was using was "SetIntTag(59,1)" where 59 corresponded to a Real Variable Tag. I then had some logic in the PLC checking for the input from the device that would light up a bit to signify to the device to switch pages.
