I may have requested this before. i do not recall any comments about this. It is to do with the C-More line of HMI's. Concerning recipes. When the user selects a product to load, then presses okay to Load, it shows loading the values, then the user has to press close to get rid of the screen. Is it possible to have an option to close the screen after the values are loaded? Or maybe a signal to the HMI from the plc to close the screen. I usually put a Value=1 on a last column. I use that to tell the plc values were loaded. When I see that I could set a bit to tell the screen to close without operator intervention. I see so many variations, could have another option to close and save. Sometimes they leave the screen showing. I am not sure if the screen disappears during a fault or screen change. I will try that.

    This does not exist right now, but I can see where this is needed. We will suggest it to the developers.
