Action Requests 7-13SIMATIC PCS 7 OSx 4.1.2 Operator
The operator chooses one response from up to four possible options. The
system writes the answer value to the database attribute defined during the
configuration of the action request. The operator should follow these steps:
1. Read the text of the actio n request thoroughly.
2. Select the appropriate response from the options listed at the lower left
of the Action Request Summary. If an error is made, the operator can
select a different choice before committing it.
3. Enter a comment in the Comment field. The operator has the option of
entering a comment at any time before committing the answer.
4. Select
Commit to commit the answer to the system. The value
corresponding to the selected choice is written to the Answer attribute.
Then select
Dismiss to close the form.
To cancel the answer procedure, select
Dismiss without first committing
the answer.
NOTE: If an operator tries to commit a Multi-Choice value that is out of
range (or fails for any other reason), the
Commit failed error message
appears, and all the other choices are grayed out. The operator must leave
that action request (for example, by selecting
) and return to it (in this
case, by selecting
) before making another selection.

the answer.
