Using the keyboard
This section describes how the terminal is constructed as well as how the built-in keyboard is
used.
19.1
Modes
The terminal has three modes
● programming
● run-time
● configuration
Switch between programming, PROG, and run-time, RUN, by simultaneously pressing the [←]
and [MAIN] keys. The possibility to switch between PROG and RUN from the terminal can be
controlled via a password defined under Password settings. For more information see the chapter Programming using the PC software.
The configuration mode is reached by selecting PROG and pressing any key when the start-up
screen is shown.
The basic settings for such things as choice of PLC system, menu language, character set and
date and time format are made in the configuration mode.
The programming mode is the mode where the application is constructed. It is here you create
Text- and Graphic blocks, define the time channels, alarms, recipes and function keys. We recommend that the terminal is programmed using the PC software.
NOTE
Block 0 must be defined in the project in order to be able to run the application.
The application is monitored and run in the run-time mode. You can see how the various objects
change and also maneuver certain objects. This assumes that the terminal is connected to a
PLC system.
