I'm doing my first PanelView 5000 application with Logix View Designer v8, and am of course jumping in headfirst.
One thing I don't find is a way to tell in the PLC what Screen is currently open on the terminal. There doesn't appear to be a number associated with each Screen, or a "Global Connections" sort of feature like exited with FTView ME.
In addition, I don't see any Events that execute when a Screen opens or closes. I see that just touching the screen can execute an Event, without touching any touch or key enabled objects on the screen.
And of course I don't find a way to trigger Screen navigation changes, or to use the PLC to trigger a pop-up window.
Does anyone on the Forum have experience with the View Designer platform and these sort of features ?
So as not to make this a whiny post: the HMIBC Button Control fast I/O feature is fantastic and easy to use. I am doing some precise jog work and the touchscreen makes it easy to program my own tap or hold timing logic.
