Introduction to <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> 2.3<br />

A status variable or completion data point can also be defined if necessary.<br />

4.7.4.2.3 Defining Passwords<br />

Passwords for this field are determined during the creation phase and can no longer be changed while the<br />

program is running. If changing passwords during runtime is necessary, string input in Password mode and<br />

controller application logic need to be used.<br />

Up to 4 password levels can be defined which are numbered from 0 to 3. The number of the corresponding<br />

password level is transferred to the password variable. If a valid password is not entered, then 0 is written to this<br />

variable. This level must therefore be used for inputs which are always available. Password levels 1 to 3 can be<br />

set under the Passwords tab.<br />

The number of password levels can be set under Number of Password Levels. 2 to 4 levels are possible. The<br />

first level (level 0) is used if an incorrect password was entered.<br />

Corresponding passwords are entered in the input fields Password #1 to Password #3. The password variable is<br />

set to the appropriate value (the number before the # character) after a password is successfully entered. If an<br />

incorrect password is entered, then the password variable receives the value 0.<br />

4.7.5 Using Input Fields on Touch Screens<br />

Guiding users through the input of numeric and alphanumeric characters is different on display units with touch<br />

screens than it is on displays with keys.<br />

<strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> provides the possibility to display a virtual keypad on these touch displays. It opens<br />

automatically when an input field is touched and allows characters to be input to the field which is to be edited.<br />

Support is limited to graphic touch displays (display units for the IPC2001 and IPC5000 series). Matrix touch<br />

displays, which can be operated with the C130 CAN controller, are not supported in this way. Operations are<br />

carried out as with normal keys.<br />
