VC4 Screen Refresh Time Issue

,

Hi all,

I am using AS v4.12.95 , APC2200 plc , 5AP1130.185C-000 monitor(hmı).

Apparently the default refresh rate is 200 ms between plc and monitor.
Is there a way to adjust this time?

Setting the VNC refresh rate does not work.
VNC refresh time only affects the speed of the VNC installed on the laptop.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your response Matt, I can now read variable tags faster by use data source update time :+1:

Now a new question has come to me.
Is it possible to adjust the page transition speed on the HMI or is it completely related to the CPU power of the PLC we use?

Hasan,

Visualization operation and animation are processed in idle time. This help page describes more about how you can modify the idle time. B&R Online Help

From experience, I’ve had HMI’s become unuseable due to lack of idle time. It’s a good practice to try to make sure you have at least 15% idle time overall, 25% is a much better safety margin. This block can provide a programatic or HMI indication of idle time B&R Online Help.
