When the GOT detects a backlight shutoff, the system information set with drawing software is turned on.
You can issue a backlight shutoff of the GOT from the PLC to external devices (such as the lamp or buzzer),
using system information.
To avoid any screen touch operation by the user who misunderstands it is in screen saving mode, install an
external alarm and interlock the loads that would cause danger.
