Operating the system
Introduction
The HPS-C control system with control monitor is controlled using 26 surrounding keys and the corresponding buttons on
the touchscreen surface. All the settings for the control system can be entered in the various menus described in detail in the
following text. The buttons represented as tabs or the keys arranged directly above these (not shown in the figures) are used
to switch between the menus. After starting up the system the "Display" menu is displayed in which, if the basic configuration
is correct, all controller operations (switch on, switch off, set value changes, increase, ...) can take place.
The following settings can be set or adjusted in the various menus; detailed explanations are given in the following chapters:
•

•
"Table"

To change set values, the relevant zones are selected in the "Display" and "Table" menus, after pressing the "SET" key the

respective input window appears. Most values are entered using the number keypad and are accepted with "OK" or quit with
"ESC". Information about which value is being changed and in which range the entry can be made appears in the lower
information window.
Above the number keypad there are three buttons which can be used to choose whether:
•
