Restrictions
Restrictions for such external operator control units are:
• Neither MCP and direct keys nor an EKS system can be assigned. This also means that
these devices cannot be activated to be an operator control unit in the system.
• Direct keys cannot be triggered, i.e. the softkeys to the direct keys can be triggered in the
operating software. However, the keys do not appear in the direct key image to the PLC.
• There is no config.ini configuration file as for an ITC, i.e. a configuration as for an ITC is
not possible for this type of operator control unit (power-up behavior, displacement,
t:m:n); however, the displacement mechanism onto the external operator control units is
effective.
• An external operator control unit is never signaled as active operator station in the PLC.
Configuring the external operator control units in the tcu.ini file in section:
