5.2 Choosing Screens
Screens can be viewed on the OP and serviced (edited) and printed. Before
this is possible, they have to be chosen.
A screen can readily be chosen by means of
soft key,
function key,
directory,
PLC job.
With soft keys, you can branch from one screen to another. The branch is
defined in the configuration.
The configured assignment of the function keys, unlike the soft keys, is valid
globally. In this way the screen that was permanently defined during configu-
ration can be selected in any operating situation.
Depending on the action you want to take, call on of the two standard screens
Screens
Edit or Screens Print. Thereupon the screen directory is shown
on the display. It contains only pictures which were included in the directory
during configuration. You scroll through the screen directory using the arrow
keys. A screen is chosen by pressing the ENTER key.
As an alternative to the standard screen Screens Edit, you can call the
screen directory using the DIR key on the system keyboard. A screen chosen
with
ENTER
can be edited but not printed .
To implement operator guidance, a screen can be chosen from the PLC by
means of a PLC job. In this instance, the cursor is already positioned in a
specified entry or in an input field, in which the operator can perform his
input.
