Product overview
1.1.2 Operator Control and Monitoring with the C7-613
Overview
Operating modes, current process values, and faults can be displayed using the
C7-613. In addition, inputs can be made on the C7-613 with the keyboard. Also,
simple functions for machine diagnosis can be implemented with the C7-613.
The C7-613 provides a number of standard functions. You can optimize the
displays and operator inputs of the C7-613 for your respective process
requirements in a configuration.
The C7-613 processes the configured HMI functions. This requires that the C7-613
is in RUN mode and that the FBs needed for the HMI functions are called cyclically
in the C7-613 user program.
HMI functions
The basic functions of the C7-613 are:
• Displaying process states
• Operating the processes
The course of the operator guidance is created by using the configuration
interface.
The following display and operator control functions are available for the C7-613:
• Screens
• Operational messages
• Error messages
• Info texts
• Multilingual operator prompting.
HMI functions are not possible in STOP mode. The keyboard can no longer be
operated. The system message "CPU in STOP mode!" is displayed. In addition,
the STOP LED indicates the STOP mode.
Screens
Logically associated process data from the open loop control can be displayed
jointly in one screen and changed individually, if required.
The C7-613 is a line display device. Accordingly, a screen consisting of text
elements, which can be combined from the static text and the current process
values, is formed on the display.
