I am using Siemens TIA portal to load different screens into HMI. I have 10 screens. I want to auto move these screen one after other. Mean to say that if I activate one screen main screen, then after set time let say 10 second ,next screen should come automatic and so on till the end screen. Then process should again start from 1st screen to last screen. I tried to find, but unable. Will you please give me a solution for that.

Hello Engineer Ghulam, Each screen takes a screen number by default which can also be altered. Now your job is to make use of this system function ActivateScreenByNumber. The trick here is you have to create a tag 'ScreenNumber' of data type INT (for example). Under the value change event of that ScreenName tag add this system function ActivateScreenByNumbermentioning the ScreenNumber tag as Screen_number parameter. Now when you change the screen number tag from your PLC for the said time intervals, this in turn changes the desired screen from your PLC. Hope this helps.
