40 Getting Started with C7-621-AS-i
Labeling softkey assignment
So that the C7 operator knows which softkey is occupied, you need to define a text for this softkey, which
will be displayed in the relevant screen. Proceed as follows:
Position the text cursor in the second line of the screen above the softkey you have assigned, by
entering blanks. Enter the text
Par
there to indicate the association with the softkey.
To return from the
Parcels_1
screen to the start screen
Start_Sys1
, proceed in the same way to
configure the softkey
F1
in the
Parcels_1
screen. Use
Start_Sys1
as the screen name and enter
Back
as the text for the softkey description.
For the screen branch, in the first screen entry of the system screen select the softkey
F5
and give it
the function
Screen Branch.
As parameters, assign the entry number
2
and the field number
0
.
In the system screen, label the softkey with the character >>.
To return from the second screen entry to the first one, proceed in the same way to configure the
softkey
F1
in the second screen entry. For the entry number, use 1 and as a character for the softkey
description, enter <<.
All extensions to the configuration are now complete. You have:
- configured a second screen with input and output fields,
- plus in each screen a softkey for switching between the two screens,
- plus in each screen entry a softkey for switching between the entries, and
- a text/character to identify each softkey.
Now you can start to display the configuration on the OP as well as change screens and perform
inputs/outputs.
