Using The Local Function Key Editor - Maple Systems Blue Series Installation And Operation Manual

Using the Function Keys
*
To configure the up and down keys to be used as function keys, you must first redefine these
keys. To redefine the up and down keys, Click Tools...Function Key Setting...Redefine
Up/Down Key
Click Yes in the Confirm Window.
Once these keys are redefined, they will no longer function as Page Up/Page Down keys

Using the Local Function Key Editor

As with the Global Function Key Editor, the Local Function Key Editor configures a function key to do the following:
• Force On or Force Off a bit in the PLC
• Reset On or Off a bit in the PLC
• Configure a Function key to behave as a momentary switch
• Configure a Function key to behave as a push on/off switch
• Configure a multi-state function key
• Create the ability to edit a numeric register or place a constant value into a PLC register
• Act as an increment or decrement (Jog) key
• Display a new screen
• Enter a password
The Local Function Key Editor is used to configure how each function key will behave on a particular screen; however, if a
Button Object or a Local Function Key is configured for a particular screen, this setting will take precedence over the setting
in the Global Function Key. Note: You cannot configure a Button Object and a Local Function Key for the same key.
