Vijeo Designer, how to have the HMI display a specific page when it wakes up and the backlight turns ON?

Issue:

Need to have a specific panel or page to be displayed on the HMI when it wakes up and the backlight turns ON.

Product Line:

Vijeo Designer, Magelis HMI and Harmony HMI.

Resolution:

The information for the HMI backlight status and control can be found in the Vijeo Designer Help, section 6.7.1:

To have the HMI go to a specific panel when it wakes up and the backlight comes ON, follow these steps:

Set the Backlight - Sleep after property of the target under the Hardware tab.

Then configure a Conditional Action using the trigger variable "_BackLight.Status", trigger "On Data Change" and click Next.

Add a Decision operation on the "_BackLight.Status" system variable, that when true, will do a Change Panel action to the desired panel.

Then, click the Finish button. Make sure the action is added correctly.

See the Test_Backlight.vdz example project.
