Customer keys
The four customer keys can be assigned arbitrarily and can be configured customer-
specifically.
Integrated machine control panel
An MCP is integrated in the HT 8. It is comprised of keys (e.g. start and stop) as well as softkeys
emulating keys.
A description of individual keys can be obtained in the chapter "Controls on the machine control
panel".
Note
PLC interface signals that are triggered via the softkeys of the machine control panel menus
are edge triggered.
Enabling button
The HT 8 has two enabling buttons. You are therefore provided the opportunity of activating
the acknowledgement function for operator actions which require approval (e.g. showing the
traversing keys) with either hand.
Enabling buttons are available for the following key positions:
● Released (no activation)
● Enabling (center position) - enabling for channel 1 and 2 is on the same switch
● Panic (completely pushed through)
Traversing keys
To traverse the axes of your machine using the traversing keys of the HT 8, you must select
"JOG" mode or either the "Teach In" or "Ref.Point" submode. You have to press the enabling
button depending on the setting.
Virtual keyboard
A virtual keyboard is available for the easy entry of values.
