How to create a popup box that stays on all screens?

[Sarah]

Hi,

I would like to create a popup box that remains open despite changing screens, similarly to an alarm notifier window/indicator, until the tag has been reset. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Sarah

I do not know of a way to do that in iX Developer.

It should be doable with scripting. You could have a timer periodically check the current value of a tag and display or hide the popup screen.

Thanks for the replies. We ended up doing it by assigning an action to a value change for a tag that is refreshed at short time intervals in the PLC.

Great idea! Thanks for the post.
