4.5.2.1
Setup Mask
Only terminal-specific parameters can be defined in the Setup Mask. This is be-
cause no communication takes place with the connected controller while the Star-
tup Mask and Setup Mask are displayed. The external data release therefore has
no function. To protect data, a password must be assigned.
From the operator guidance, the Setup Mask and Startup Mask can be reached
through the function keys, provided they have not been assigned an access level.
After the masks are exited, however, the terminal is not reinitialized.
Examples of terminal-specific parameters:
-
Printer interface settings
-
Default contrast/default intensity setting of the display
-
Date and time settings
-
Activation of the download function.
4.5.2.1.1
Password Protection - Setup Mask
The Setup Mask is an exception with regard to password protection.
To password-protect the Setup Mask, the system variable MskchgPasswd must
be set up as the first variable which can be edited in the Setup Mask. A password
can be input regardless of the access level (with the exception of the access level
255).
For the setup mask, the access level applies to the edit level only, meaning that its
contents are always visible to the operator.
4.5.2.1.2
Function Without the Setup Mask
If the Setup Mask is not needed, its access level can be set to the value 255, thus
preventing access to the Setup Mask via the Start Mask (using the Data Release
key).
4.5.2.2
Start Mask
The Start Mask is displayed for around 5 seconds after the terminal is switched on.
This is a fixed time setting; the startup process can not be changed.
With regards to the mask design, the user can only design the text to be displayed in
the mask. Any combination of characters, character sizes and text attributes can be
chosen in the programming system for this purpose.
Only system variables can be output in the Start Mask. Variable input is not pos-
sible due to the time restriction. While the Start Mask is displayed, the Setup Mask
can be called by pressing the Data Release key. However, this is not possible if the
access level for the setup mask is set to 255.
Some examples of information that may be chosen to be displayed in the Start
Mask are listed below:
-
address for servicing
-
machine type
-
version number of the program
