Hi thedodgy1,

Please take a look at the FAQ titled "Alternatives to the area pointer for Unified Panel" It should answer all your questions.

Kind regards

Hi thedodgy1,

Integrating a screen dynamization script in WinCC Unified can be challenging, especially if you're used to WinCC Comfort/Advanced. With those versions, you would use an area pointer or trigger a screen change based on a change in the tag value.

Triggering on a tag value change is exactly what you need. However, WinCC Unified does not allow you to configure events for tags. To keep the script active, place it on an element that is always active. When creating a project from scratch in WinCC Unified, use screen windows to design a specific layout. Typically, there is one main active screen window, which is ideal for placing scripts like this one.

Since you migrated the project, you probably no longer have a hierarchical screen design. Nevertheless, you can use screen management to configure a main screen window. Since you will likely make all screen changes within this main window, you can dynamize the "Screen Number" property as described in the manual.

Kind regards
Stefan
