● Selection of additional screens, depending on the current operating situation, in screens
created using the "Expanding the Operator Interface" system.
Configuration
Configuration is carried out using the "Expand user interface" functions.
● The 6 OP hotkeys can be used to display any HMI operating area directly. This shortens
the usual selection process via the main menu. This changes the default assignment of
the 6 hotkeys.
● The interface between the PLC and the HMI enables a PLC key to be transferred from
the PLC to the HMI. The operations initiated on the HMI system in this way can be
configured. Key numbers 50 to 254 are available for use by the PLC.
● As an option, the <Machine> and <MENU SELECT> keys can be configured in the same
way as the 6 OP hotkeys and are assigned to HK7 and HK8.
