MCP SWITCHOVER
A control unit consists of an operator panel and an MCP; these can both be switched over as
a unit.
If an MCP has been configured for the operator panel in configuring file NETNAMES.INI, it
will be activated and deactivated with the operator panel.
The operator panel of whichever MMC is currently in active operating mode is activated.
In other words, only one MCP is ever active at any time on an NCU.
The MCP is activated by the PLC:
● Operator panel changes to active operating mode. (signal MMCx_ACTIVE_CHANGED:
The MCP is deactivated by the PLC

● Operator panel goes offline by means of switchover or suppression
● Server HMI disconnects operating focus from the current NCU and switches it over to

(signal MMCx_ACTIVE_CHANGED: TRUE -> FALSE, x = 1,2 first or second HMI-PLC
interface)
The HMI sign of life changes from TRUE to FALSE when an operator panel goes offline.
After the edge change, the PLC deactivates the allocated MCP.
another. The server transmits S_ACT/ DIS_FOCUS as the last signal on its own HMI-PLC
interface. The PLC then deactivates the corresponding MCP.
