Freelance Operations: automatically switch display by signal
Hello everyone
In Freelance Operations (2016SP1), is it possible to automatically switch the display based on a signal?
Use case would be to open a specific graphics display if a fault occurs.
Best regards
Björn

Hello,
no that is not possible. I would also see a problem with that functionality because it could move me away from an operation that I'm currently undertaking once that fault happens.
What you can do is create a UFB that creates your fault signal as an output and creates an alarm once the fault occurs. Or, if your signal doesn't need to be specially created, because it does exist "naturally" already, then you use an M_ANA or M_BIN function block to generate an alarm from it. Then you can associate your target display with the tag of that M_ANA / M_BIN / UFB and when the alarm occurs you can right click on the alarm in the alarm bar and switch via context menu to your target display.
