4.2.2 Devices with capacitive single-touch screen
Danger of malfunction due to improper execution of gestures on the touch screen
If gestures are executed incorrectly on the capacitive single-touch screen, these gestures
may not be recognized or could be recognized incorrectly. The entries made are then not
implemented by the device or are implemented incorrectly or in an unintended manner.
Incorrect execution of the functions can lead to errors in the operation of the plant and thus
to physical injury.
Note when operating the capacitive single-touch screen:
• The touch screen reacts to contact on its surface, not to pressure.
• When using a touch pen: Operate the touch screen only with a touch pen for capacitive
touch.
• Avoid unintended multiple touches, for example, with your knuckles.
Notes on operation
Note when operating the capacitive single-touch screen:
• Surface contact with a diameter of about 5 to 20 mm is required for an operator action to
be detected.
• An operation with gloves with a material thickness of <2 mm is detected in most cases.
However, check the usefulness of the gloves you are using.
• To avoid incorrect operation, certain inputs are ignored and blocked from further entry:
– Simultaneous operation with multiple fingers.
– Surface contact with a diameter of > 3 cm, for example, resting the palm of the hand
on the touch screen
– As soon as the touch screen is no longer touched, input is possible again.
Functions of the capacitive single-touch screen
• Automatic calibration of the touch screen during startup; manual calibration is not
necessary.
• Touch and gesture control according to the operation capabilities of the device to which
your ITC V3 device is connected.
