4.1 Overview
All Basic HMI devices feature a touch screen. Certain Basic HMI devices feature function
keys. Use the touch screen and function keys to operate the Control Panel or the project
running on your HMI device.
DANGER
Incorrect operation
A project can contain certain operations that require in-depth knowledge about the specific
plant on the part of the operator.
Ensure that only trained professional personnel operate the plant.
Operating the touch screen
CAUTION
Damage to the touch screen
Pointed or sharp objects can damage the plastic surface of the touch screen.
Always operate the touch screen with your fingers or with a touch pen only.
Triggering unintended actions
Touching several operator controls at the same time can trigger unintended actions.
Touch only one operator control on the screen at a time.
Operator controls are touch-sensitive symbols on the screen of the HMI device.
They are basically operated in the same way as mechanical keys. You activate operator
controls by touching them with your finger.
Note
The HMI device returns a visual feedback as soon as it detects that an operator control has
been touched.
The visual feedback is independent of any communication with the PLC. The visual feedback
signal therefore does not indicate whether or not the relevant action is actually executed.
