4.3 PLC interface
Operating areas
With HMI Advanced, the displays are shown in a separate operating area similar to the
measuring cycle displays. This operating area can be selected manually by means of the
sixth softkey (PLC displays) on the second operating area menu. If no PLC display is active
when the area is selected, the text "Currently no PLC display active" is displayed in the
header. The PLC is informed when the area is selected/deselected manually via bit2 of the
HMI byte.
It is also possible to change to other operating areas via the MMC 103's operating area after
a display has been selected by the PLC.
With HMI Embedded sl, it is not possible to manually select/deselect displays selected by the
PLC via an operating area. The PLC display remains in the foreground even after a change
of operating area has occurred.
