Standard Mode
5.4.2.8 Activate Help Mask
If you are using a touch-screen operating device, you can select the
unused display area to display the help mask.
You cannot use the 'Activate Help Mask' parameter for operating
devices equipped with a keyboard.
5.4.3 System Masks
System masks are based on the input/output mask type. Some restric-
tions apply, due to the compulsory initialization phase and the fact that
no communication has yet taken place with the controller.
System masks facilitate programming, and allow the system to become
directly operable. In this way, the initialization phase becomes a fixed
component of the project.
You can select any mask as the system mask.
As all masks are created on a language-specific basis, you can define
other masks as system masks for each language.
As no communication has yet been established with the controller dur-
ing the initialization phase, the following restrictions apply to system
masks.
• The setup mask and start-up mask cannot be accessed by selecting
a mask externally
• No controller variables can be displayed on the setup mask and start-
up mask
5.4.3.1 Setup Mask
The operator can only access the operating device’s setup mask if you
select the Enter key or the Setup button during the initialization phase
(the start-up mask is displayed for five seconds).
On the setup mask, it may be useful to include the following functions:
• Activate/deactivate download function
• Set protocol parameters
• Select PLC protocol
• Set date and time
• Display firmware level of the operating device
If you program these functions using system variables, the operator
can select the corresponding parameter from text lists.
