Overview
Operator input options
The hardware of the HMI device determines which of the following operator control options
are available:
●
Touch screen
The operating elements shown in the dialogs are touch-sensitive. They are basically
operated in the same way as mechanical keys. You activate operating elements by
touching them with your finger. To double-click them, touch an operating element twice in
succession.
●
HMI device keyboard
The operating elements shown in the screens are selected and operated using the keys
of the HMI device.
●
External keyboard, connected via USB
●
External mouse, connected via USB
CAUTION
Damage to the touch screen
Do not touch the touch screen with pointed or sharp objects. Otherwise, you can
damage the plastic membrane of the touch screen.
Do not apply excessive pressure to the touch screen with hard objects, and avoid
continuous operation with gestures. Both will substantially reduce the service life of the
touch screen and can even lead to total failure.
The following paragraphs provide instructions for operating a project with the touch screen
and the keyboard.
