ating options during operation:

Changing device settings such as date, time, display contrast (only on site on the device) and interface

DIGSI 5 Communication
Operation using a DIGSI 5 PC requires a functioning communication connection from the DIGSI 5 PC to the
device. For this purpose, you can use the USB interface of the on-site operation panel, the integrated or
other Ethernet interfaces.

Protection from Operating Errors and Unauthorized Access
•
Changes to device settings and the deletion of process data can be saved by entering confirmation
IDs. If no action takes place within certain times (device: 3 minutes, DIGSI 5: 10 minutes), an open
confirmation query is automatically terminated. Every action carried out within these times restarts
the time. After a confirmation query has ended you must confirm changes in device settings again by
entering confirmation IDs.
•
Before modified settings or the activation of control commands is accepted, there will be additional
requests to enter the confirmation ID. You acknowledge these requests directly on the on-site opera-
tion panel by pressing the softkey buttons. You confirm the interactive dialog in DIGSI 5 by mouse
click.

Online Operation Using DIGSI 5

8.3.2
During online operation, you establish a direct connection to the device to be operated. You use this method
for:
•
Commissioning
•
Test and diagnostics
•
Changing settings in the operating state
Online operation with DIGSI 5 is beneficial in these operating modes because you do not first have to create a
device in a project. As soon as you have created the corresponding device in a project, however, you should
only operate the device from there. Your settings are then saved on your PC and are available for offline
configuration and parameterization tasks.
