Hi @zarsss,

Thank you for contributing to our forum. To turn the screen on externally, you can set a bit remotely. Within the object tab, you can create a PLC Object. By selecting the type as Backlight Control, you can trigger the backlight to turn on. In the example I have set up the trigger as the LB-0 bit, but feel free to modify this as needed for your project.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Aaron.
Thank you very much for a very prompt answer. I am very that I finally found a place where I can ask my newbie questions. This is my first experience with HMI in general and it is not going very smooth.

Thank you again.
