Switch screen WinCC unified

Dear Expert,
How do I switch a screen of a terminal programmed under WinCC Unified from the PLC ?
(NB: Even if there is a possibility to do this in script)
Thank you in advance ! ​

Hi Madjid_5713,

You can do this, for example, by using a ScreenWindow and changing the screen within the ScreenWindow based on the change of the Tag. This can be done using a script.

For more information about scripting see the following FAQ:

SIMATIC WinCC Unified - Tips and Tricks for Scripting (JavaScript)

As an example, you can use an I/O field in your layout screen and attach the PLC Tag to the process value of the I/O field. If the value of the Tag changes, the script for switching the screens will be executed.

Hello itafusna, 

Thank you so much for your answer, 

Please do you have a script example of this method !? because I never programmed with scripts before.

Have a nice day ! 

Hi Madjid,

In the fourth entry of the following post, KozzyM provides an example of how to switch screens via a PLC command.  Interestingly, no scripts are used.  The PLC sets an integer, then the HMI uses a text list lookup function to get the associated screen name.  The screen name tag is used to dynamize a screen window.  

Please remember to rate/thank if you find that post helpful.
