21 Function Keys
This chapter describes how function keys are used, and how to convert the arrow keys
on the operator panel to function keys.
A function key can be configured to control and change the values of devices in the
controller. The function key can also be assigned to switch block, start a macro or
other functions like load recipe, login and log out.
The operator panels have a different number of built-in function keys, depending on
the operator panel model. Start numbering the function keys on the left hand side
(from the top downwards), continue with the keys on the right hand side and finally
use the function keys at the bottom (from left to right).
Note:
It is only possible to activate two signals connected to function keys at the same time.
This means that if more than two function keys are pressed at the same time, only the
first two will be activated.
Note:
The function keys will be disabled if the backlight of the panel is disabled.
