Expanding the OperatorInterface (BE1)

6 Custom Operating Area

6.1 Introduction

The operating areas described thus far can be extended and modified using
Expand user interface tools. Extensions can only be applied to softkeys, which
have not been used previously. With the resources described in the following, it is
possible both in
- HMI Embedded, as well as in
- HMI Advanced
to configure an autonomous operating area in which all of the 8 horizontal and 8
vertical softkeys are available for an application-specific user interface. The default
name of this operating area is Custom.
The Custom operating area can be accessed directly (on OPs with hotkey blocks:
OP 010, OP 010C) with:
• The "Custom" hotkey or
• Horizontal softkey 4 on the step menu (default setting)
(softkey menu, which appears when the ETC key is pressed once in the main
screen).
