available only to authorized persons.

OP7
Function keys K1 to K4 are all provided with a green LED.
OP17
Function keys K1 to K16 are all provided with a two-color LED
(red/green).
Convenient operator prompting can be implemented by means of the option
of activating the LEDs on function keys (refer to Chapter 13).
A bit can be configured in a tag for every soft key
. This insures that a bit is
set in the PLC when a soft key is pressed. In this instance, the OP always
transfers the whole tag to the PLC instead of the individual bits and over
-
writes the information it contains.
When the key is released or upon a change of display which modifies soft-
key assignment, the bit is reset.
