Micom P634 - Configurable Function Keys (Function Group F_KEY)

3.6 Configurable Function Keys (Function Group F_KEY)
The P634 provides six freely configurable function keys. A password may be
configured for each function key (e.g. for F1 at F_KEY: Password funct.key
1), and if a password has been configured then the respective function key will
only be enabled when the configured password is entered.
As an example the operation of function key F1 is shown in Fig. 3-21, (p. 3-36).
After the password has been entered the function key will remain active for the
time period set at F_KEY: Return time fct.keys. Thereafter, the function key
is disabled until the password is entered again. The same is valid for function
keys F2 to F6. Exception: If a function key is configured as a control key a
password request is only issued when the function “Local/Remote switching” has
been assigned to this function key.
Configuration of function keys with a single function
One function may be assigned to each function key (e.g. for F1) at F_KEY: Fct.
assignm. F1 or by selecting a logic state signal (except LOC: Trig. menu
jmp 1 EXT and LOC: Trig. menu jmp 2 EXT). The assigned function is
triggered by pressing the respective function key on the P634.
Configuration of function keys with menu jump lists
Instead of a single function each function key may have one of the two menu
jump lists assigned (e.g. for F1) at F_KEY: Fct. assignm. F1 by selecting the
listing at LOC: Trig. menu jmp 1 EXT or LOC: Trig. menu jmp 2 EXT. The
functions of the selected menu jump list are triggered in sequence by repeated
pressing of the assigned function key.
Both menu jump lists are assembled at LOC: Fct. menu jmp list 1 or
LOC: Fct. menu jmp list 2. Up to 16 functions such as setting parameters,
event counters and/or event logs may be selected.
LED indicators including the six positioned directly next to the function keys are
configured independently and in this respect there is no relationship to the
respective function key configuration.
Configuration of the READ key
As with LOC: Fct. menu jmp list 1 or LOC: Fct. menu jmp list 2 up to 16
functions may also be selected from the same menu jump list at LOC: Fct.
read key. They are triggered in sequence by repeated pressing of the “READ”
key.
Operating mode of the function keys
For each function key the operating mode may be selected (e.g. for F1) at
F_KEY: Operating mode F1. Here it is possible to select whether the function
key operates as a key or as a switch. In the Key operating mode the selected
function is active while the function key is pressed. In the Switch operating mode
the selected function is switched on or off every time the function key is pressed.
The state of the function keys can be displayed.
Handling keys
If backlighting for the LC display is switched off it will automatically light up when
a function key or the “READ” key is pressed. The assigned function will only be
triggered when the respective key is pressed a second time. This is also valid for
the other keys.
