Isakovic Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Did you, by accident, write values into registers for LCD control, you can see this when you connect to PLC. Also, I had similar blinking was I just placed "set string library" function block to be called unconditionally in every scan. See what happens if you put PLC into stop mode. What is scan time?

MVP 2022 kratmel Posted December 19, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 1-st - load to panel empfy project. 2 - find and load project for V1040 from example for test the panel hardware. 3 -If display blinking you maybe use for change display direct contact -| |-, but only -|P|- must be used.

Cam Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Check your code and make sure your not constantly calling a load display function. or post your code so we can look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanT Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi; How are you calling HMI's to display? Use --|P|-- to call displays from ladder. Post your code, we can take a look. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berkaykaya Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I add first scan display codes at your program. This codes make every first scan load -Main Display- I think when you look codes you will understand "what i wanna do" alagbawale-BK.vlp Have a nice day!

Cam Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Your both constantly calling the main display which is what is causing the screen to flicker. See net 1 in the original program, every time the PLC scans the logic it is going to load the Main display. (In a Vision unit we are talking every 4-5 mS) You can remove this net. Also while net 2 works you should have it broken into 4 separate nets. Nets 7,9,11,13,16,18 in the Main routine should also be separated in to multiple nets( you can get abnormal operation with the way you've done it) I didn't check the other subroutines but any where you've done something similar should be broken in to multiple nets. And why are you calling the displays from the ladder using MB's linked to touch properties?? If you click on the Links & Jumps tab while editing an HMI you can put your display calls there and not have them in your ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third post in this thread provided your answer which you either missed, ignored, or didn't understand. To be clear, NEVER call an HMI screen with a direct contact. You MUST use a transition contact - always. Also, please restrict your ladder rungs to only a single logic thread. One logic thread = one ladder rung. Do not stack them up. They will often work, but it can be unpredictable. Avoid conditional subroutine calls. Avoid HMI screen calls or subroutine calls with other logic in a ladder rung (i.e. other coils or FBs). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2022 kratmel Posted December 21, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Please see pic. You do not need to load Main Display. Panel do it for you...:) Another display call please set transition contact (see pic) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 kratmel Posted December 21, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 By the way... in future... Do not rename the main display when you start a new project.Never wipe the main display out of the project - this leads to incorrect order of display on the screen. And this can not be fixed by creating a new main display.This feature was studied by my students.After wiping the main display, they were not able to restore the normal sequence of opening display at startup and must to completely redesign the project from an empty project. P.S. In your project this isue not appear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
