I went to the properties of the tag and set the event change value to activate my screen. Am I missing something else I have to set? The tag is just a regular bool bit. I have it working on an old file I had but I deleted it by accident. I cant get it to work again.

One more thing i wanna mention is, if you are using "Change Value" of a tag then the screen will be activated during the rise as well as falling edge of the tag value (i.e. 0 to 1 transistion & 1 to 0 transition) to overcome this effect you have to keep the acqition cycle time of the WinCC Flexible tag greater than PLC cycle time (Say 2s). you can try PLC jobs also to do the same perfectly. Hope this will help you

Best regards, Wizard

And than you can put there 0, it dont change current page in HMI and you can be sure that HMI will show the page next time again. thank you.
