2.2 Control screen
The control shows the data to be displayed in windows. Some
windows only appear when they are needed, for example, for
typing in entries.
In addition, the control shows the type of operation, the soft-key
display and the PLC soft key display on the screen. Each function
that appears in a field of the soft-key row is activated by pressing
the soft key directly below it.
If you are using a control with touch operation, you can
replace some keystrokes with hand gestures.
