Hi every one I am trying something new with my company's panel views. I am using allen bradley 550's and 1000's trying to bring up a certian control screen every 5 min, using control tags (n7 addressing). I can't seem to get the plc to bring up the right integer for the pannel view example I want to bring up screen #6 but the only screen I can display is screen #1. Any ideas ?

Have you set the Control Tag in the Panelview correctly?
Are you sure you are using the right N7 address?
Are you using something like MOV 6 N7:0 ? (if N7:0 is your Control Tag address)
Are you sure some other part of the program is not doing MOV 1 N7:0 after your rungs?
Also if you move a value into the control tag to change screen then unless you reset the control to 0 (after the screen has changed i.e. the Status Tag changes) then changing screens using operator pushbuttons may not work.
