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 control 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 configuration file config.ini, as for a TCU, i.e. the settings to be made to a TCU
are not possible for such an operator control unit (power-up behavior, displacement, t:m:n);
however, the displacement mechanism to 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:
