Retention
The function block does not recognize retentive data.
Example
Entering data on the display via a D text function block
If an easyE4 with a display is used with the text function block and the cursor buttons
are enabled in the configuration, operators will be able to enter data using these but-
tons. To do this, the input mode needs to be accessed by pressing the ALT button. You
can also simulate this with easySoft.
The input fields will then be highlighted in color or be shown with inverse colors.
To select an input field and enter data, the operator will need to use the arrow buttons.
The currently active cursor position will flash.
UP: The numeric value at the current cursor position will be incremented
DOWN: The numeric value at the current cursor position will be decremented
RIGHT: The next smaller decimal place will be selected or the input value to the right or
underneath will be selected
LEFT: The next larger decimal place will be selected or the input value to the left or
above will be selected
In the example above, there are three input values on the screen: a value entry, a latch-
ing button, and a message text selection.
The value entry [with a value of 900 in the screenshot] consists of three decimal num-
bers in which the value for each number is entered individually. The latching button [the
checkbox with the checkmark] is activated. The question marks show the 16-character
area for the message text selection, in which the UP/DOWN buttons can be used to
select one of the configured texts.
Once a new value is entered, it can be confirmed with OK. This will exit input mode.
