Entering Values

Overview
Numerical values are entered in the C7-613 in entry fields of screens and special
screens (for example, when entering a password).
Values can be entered alternatively
• With function keys,
• With cursor keys.
The selection is specified by using the configuration interface. The input method
cannot be changed during operation.
Caution
!
The following applies for the C7-613 with an HMI Version < 2.0.0:
If you are working with password protection, the C7-613 switches to password
level 0 at logout. Logout occurs automatically if you have not performed an
operation for 2 minutes or when the special screen "Logout" is selected.
However, only the selection of new screens is password-protected in this case.
The screen that is currently open as well as screens that you can access with ESC
are not password protected. This also means that all of the entries in these
screens are not password protected. Likewise, automatic logouts do not terminate
the input mode in the case of variables.
In order to protect the C7-613 against unauthorized access, you should therefore
page back with ESC so far until no screen is displayed which needs to be
protected.
Field with Decimal Places
The decimal position cannot be changed during entry. The position is specified
when the variable fields are configured.
Entering and Displaying of Binary Numbers
Note
If the length of the entry field is less than the number of bits specified in the data
type, the bits that are not represented are filled with 0 when the entry is made.
