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.
Figure 1

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