2.2 Configuring a channel menu
2.2.4 Configuring a double-channel display
Configuring a double-channel display
If a double-channel display is used, the control unit management options cannot be used.
Before the double-channel display in the "Machine" operating area, the following entries
must be made in file NETNAMES.INI:
[own]
owner= HMI_1
[chan HMI_1]
ShowChanMenu=false
[MULTI_CHAN_i]
CHAN_2 = k
" i " denotes the channel number in the current NCU. The second channel now displayed is
specified in entry CHAN_2: CHAN_2 = k
This default setting of the configuration only applies when switching from 1-channel to 2-
channel display. If 2-channel display is active and a channel is switched within the display,
the other channel remains unaffected.
Note
Either double-channel display or control unit management can be used
For double-channel display, ShowChanMenu=false must be set.
Each of the channels involved in the 2-channel display appear once in [MULTI_CHAN_i] and
once as 2nd channel in CHAN_2=i.
For double-channel display, display MD 9034: MA_NUM_DISPLAYED_CHANNELS must be
set to 2.
Example of a double-channel display
On an NCU with 6 channels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), channel combinations 1 and 6, 2 and 5, and 3
and 4 must be displayed together:
[MULTI_CHAN_1]
CHAN_2 = 6
[MULTI_CHAN_6]
CHAN_2 = 1
[MULTI_CHAN_2]
CHAN_2 = 5
