Enter event texts and process values
As of device version 02 an event text or process value (external text/analog/digital variables)
can be entered by means of specific control characters.
The text or value, which is scanned using a control character, is exclusively used as event text
or process value. Afterwards, the system automatically switches back to barcode input for
batch control.
Enter text into event list
%En% = entry in the event list of group n (n = 1 to 4 for group 1 to 4; n = 0 for all groups)
Example: %E1%ABC
The text "ABC" is entered into the event list of group 1.
Example: %E0%DEF
The text "DEF" is entered into the event lists of all groups.
Enter text into external text variable
%Tn% = enter as text into the external text variable n (n = 1 to 10)
Example: %T1%ABC
The text "ABC" is entered into external text variable 1.
The entered text is available in the text selector.
The control character and the following text can also be scanned one after another. To do so,
for the first scan process only the control character must be used.
Example for the first scan process: %T1%
The next scanned text is interpreted as text for the external text variable 1.
Example for the second scan process: ABC
The text "ABC" is entered into external text variable 1.
Enter float value in external analog variable
%Fn% = enter as float value into the external analog variable n (n = 1 to 24)
Example: %F1%447.6
The float value 447.6 is entered into external analog variable 1.
The entered value is available in the analog selector.
%E 1 %A B C
%T 1 %A B C
%F 1 %4 4 7 . 6
