9.8  KP32F - Bit assignment in the process image 
The signal states of HMI device digital inputs/outputs that are used in standard mode are 
saved in their own process images independently from the signal states of the fail-safe 
channels. 
Input area of the controller   
See figure in section "Front-sided control elements and displays (Page 65)". The keys and 
digital inputs of the HMI device are mapped to the bits in the input area of the controller as 
follows:  
Input area, slot 1   
 
Bit 7  Bit 6  Bit 5  Bit 4  Bit 3  Bit 2  Bit 1  Bit 0  Description  Input 
K07  K06  K05  K04  K03  K02  K01  K00  Keys 0 to 7  Byte 0 
K15  K14  K13  K12  K11  K10  K09  K08  Keys 8 to 15  Byte 1 
Input area, slot 2   
 
Bit 7  Bit 6  Bit 5  Bit 4  Bit 3  Bit 2  Bit 1  Bit 0  Description  Input 
K23  K22  K21  K20  K19  K18  K17  K16  Keys 16 to 23  Byte 0 
K31  K30  K29  K28  K27  K26  K25  K24  Keys 24 to 31  Byte 1 
 
K =  Key 
The numbering of the keys refers to the specifications in the section "Front-sided control 
elements and
 displays (Page 65)".
