Hi DrLED
I'm not familiar with ME, I use SE on all sites.
That being said, I think I can offer a way to get the functionality you desire.
In SE it is possible to use a combination of Macros + VBA to achieve the functionality your describing.
I suggest following these steps:
1. Building two Macros:
Startup and
AutoLogout
Startup Macro should contain the following:
Display YOUR_HIDDEN_DISPLAY_VBA /ZA
"/ZA" is a hidden display, it always runs but is never actually displayed.
AutoLogout Macro should contain the following
EventOn "Auto_Logout"
2. Creating YOUR_HIDDEN_DISPLAY_VBA
create a display page with a numeric display. ** You will use this numeric display to trigger the auto logout Macro with the PLC.
Link the numeric display to the PLC tag you wish to trigger the auto logout with.
3. Create VBA code that runs on the hidden display.
Next, you need to open the VBA code editor for that page. *Right Click > "VBA Code..."*
Private Sub Numeric_Display1_Change()
If Numeric_Display1 = 1 Then
Login Operator
End If
End Sub
This is my suggestion, I've built out quite complex triggers from PLC's using this method. If you have any questions you can contact me here or at
[email protected] and we can possible work together to get it working.
Cheers,
Spencer P.
