Operator control and monitoring
Login area
If the user management ("Settings > User management") is enabled, you must log in to this
area in order to be able to make changes to the WBM with your login.
Help
You can call the online help for the WBM using the question mark symbol "?". The help is
context-sensitive. Depending on the menu you are currently in, the appropriate help page is
opened.
Main window
The main window shows the contents of the selected menu items. Here, you can configure
the various menu-dependent parameters. The main window is divided up into three columns
in the menu items "Application" and "Libraries".
Message area
The message area displays all WBM-related error messages and warnings (e.g. transfer
errors). If there are any messages or warnings, these are displayed in the lower area of the
main window. Note that the message area is only displayed on the homepage of the WBM.
WBM alternatives
You can find information on alternative operating options in the section "Alternative user
interfaces (Page 223)".
WBM login when accessing via an automation system
If the optical reader is controlled via an automation system, i.e. with the DISA bit set, you will
need to log on to the optical reader as follows:
1. Make sure that only one PC is accessing the optical reader (padlock with red/gray
marking).
2. Place the mouse pointer on the user currently logged on (top right) and click.
This brings you to the "Settings > Security" page.
3. To control the reader, log on as "User1" or "Service" user. This is only possible if the
"Take control" check box is selected for the relevant user.
Note that, by logging on, you cause the automation system to intervene in reader control.
This is relevant for functions that require the DISA bit, e.g. program changes and saving
programs.
