    When I connect to the device via TLS_SOCKET socket, after some time the connection (Active) is lost. The flag (Busy) lights up. It is possible to connect to the device from the PC. After stopping / starting the project, the connection can be established again.

    Hi, When moving the mouse over a button, it is displayed slightly grayed out. If the HMI is used with a touch, this grayed out unfortunately remains when the button is pressed. Is it possible to deactivate this property for the button?

    The new Alarm server (in version 2024) utilizes a C++ "AlarmProgram" for alarm handling. Is there any way to log the alarms to a file? Or will there be a possibility in the future? Why does it show timestamps as "GMT+1 Central European Time" although my PLC has default settings (using UTC)? Is there any way to change t…

    Is it possible to define an array of function blocks? I've looked around for an answer and the closest thing I can find is in CODESYS: https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/fc16090b49/

    Hello, I wanted to ask if it is possible to integrate a color picker into PLCNext HMI? Because we have LED strips and they should also be able to be controlled with RGB. Is this possible? LG Robin Schulz
