Got it figured out!! Configure a local Tag of type UInt in the KP300 that writes to a PLC Tag. On loading each screen add an Event that writes the screen number to the KP300 Tag. This in turn updates the PLC Tag. Be sure to set Tag properties to Cylic Continuous. AttachmentKP300 Screen Event Writes Screen Number to PLC Tag.zip (1244 Downloads) |

After further research I found that the screen number is available in the Global area pointer of the KP300. 1. In the PLC define a 5 long array of type UInt in a Data Block. In attached pictures this array is "Screen Number Read Area" [0...4]. 2. Access the KP300 "Connections"/"Global area pointer of HMI device"/ On second row "Screen number", In the first column "Connection" Set the desired connection. In the third column "PLC tag" enter the array variable from the PLC DataBlock. 3. Screen Number Read Area[1] will then show the current screen number on the KP300.
