Drop-Down Menu
In graphics-supported programs, a menu line is positioned on the top edge of the
screen. The menu titles contained in this line can be set either as drop-down or
pull-down menus. Drop-down menus “roll” down as soon as the mouse pointer
passes over a menu title. Pull-down menus only “roll” down when the menu title is
clicked on. Different functions can then be called from these menus by moving the
mouse and clicking on an item in a menu.

EPROM/EEPROM Submodules
These are plug-in submodules with EPROM/EEPROM chips. S5 user programs
can be stored on them. These programmed submodules are then plugged in
specially designed receptacles in the programmable controller.

of the memory.

transmission rate of 10 Mbps.

must be formatted before it is used for the first time.
Function Keys
Function keys can be divided into two different types; the normal function keys
which are assigned a particular function of the computer (for example, delete key),
and programmable function keys (softkeys).
