PAC Display Write User to Tag

[Joey1]

Is there a way to write the currently logged-in user in PAC Display to a tag variable in a control strategy? The controller needs to record the user who initiates a command. I know that PAC Display can log user interactions but I need the controller to do it.

On a related but side note, can I display the currently logged in user on the screen. I know there’s a menu item for that but it might be useful if it was more obvious.

Thanks!

This forum post here covers some suggestions for your first question.

Security on Display runtime

Hello everyone, I use a SNAP PAC R2 with a PacDisplay HMI and I would like: View the name and group of the logger user permanently on a view. Retrieve this information at the level of my strategy. Add users and change passwords in runtime. Is there a solution?

Since you can have PAC Display buttons trigger menu items, there might be a way to have the user interact with that.

Ok, thanks. I think I’ll just create my own user table.
