Prompted Logout - PanelView Plus 1000

PanelView Plus 1000. FactoryTalk View Studio ME Release 8.00

Looking for  way to Logout (or Login to DEFAULT user) as prompted by a PLC (Logix5000) event.  I was thinking I could trigger a macro that would drive a command, but I cant seem to find an appropriate command.  Any ideas?

I'm not sure about prompting it from the PLC, I'm sure there is a way to do this, and somebody could help you with that, but you can set a time limit that after XX amount of time it automatically logs out the current user and logs in as default.

To do this: in FactoryTalk View Studio expand "System" and open up "Project Settings".  In project settings click on the "Runtime" tab and there is a check-box called "Enable auto logout".  Check that box, and you can type in a time for it to auto log out the current user.

 

Maybe you already knew this, maybe it isn't what you're looking for, but hopefully it helps.

Thanks Howard

yes aware of that feature and utilising it.  This is a specific action to ensure the main SCADA takes remote ownership of the PanelView ... the simplest way (in theory) is to log into "view only" user at the PanelView.

Thanks for your response
