How to copy a macro for compactlogix PLC from Factory Talk to Easy Builder Pro

• HMI Model: CMT2078X
• EasyBuilder Pro Version: 6.10.01.359

*Hi all,
I am completely fresh to the Weintek brand and am having some difficulties with finding in the manual how I would use a macro to complete a task which I do in Factory Talk View Studio.

We control our password protection at the PLC level for our HMI and have always used the macro in the image attatched as our logout whenever a page was entered that was password protected.

I was looking into the Weintek Easy Builder Pro Manual, but am having a hard time understanding how I would complete this with the GetData and SetData bits as it doesnt look like you can directly read or write to the PLC tag.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated, Thanks.

Hi @TechDevTeej,

This expression can be be replicated within a macro and then applied to the “Close” section of a Window’s settings menu:

To learn how to create a macro that can read or write from or to a device, please review our macro beginner tutorials: Link 1, Link 2

Note: To access a window’s settings menu, right-click a window in the windows tree and select “Settings”.
