How to control the screen saver from the PLC

Answer

The screen save can be controlled from the PLC. 
Use the system information (read device). 
When the Forced Screen Saver Enable signal (System signal 1-1.b1) is turned on and off, the screen saver can be controlled. 
Set the system information using the screen design software.

(Example) Control the screen saver by using D0 for System signal 1-1. 
 The following is an example of a ladder program. 
 (Example 1) Turn on or off D0.b1 according to the value of M0.

 (Example 2) Turn on D0.b1 at the rising edge of M0 and turn off D0.b1 at the falling edge of M0.
