Procedure for forcing permissions
If several HMI devices access an HMI device, only one HMI device has permission
to operate.
Two cases must be distinguished for this case:
● If another HMI device is already controlling the remote HMI device, if configured
accordingly, you can force operating permission for the remote HMI device
– You are trying to operate the remote HMI device
– A dialog appears in which you are prompted to enter the appropriate password for
forcing remote control
You are now authorized to operate the remote HMI device
● If another HMI device is accessing your HMI device via the Sm@rtClient view, you can
force local operating permission for your HMI device
– Press
SHIFT
five times consecutively.
You are given permission to operate your local HMI device
