• Graphic Keypad on Touch Systems<br />

A graphic keypad is used on touch systems to input numeric and alphanumeric information.<br />

Adjusting this keypad is not possible. It is automatically displayed by the <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> runtime<br />

system.<br />

• 'Button' and 'HotSpot' Touch Fields<br />

'Button' and 'HotSpot' touch fields can be used to configure virtual keys on panels equipped with a touch<br />

screen. These keys are updated frequently (high priority) and allow a jog key function (see also Using<br />

the Key Matrix).<br />

• Standard AT PS/2 Keyboard<br />

The possibility exists on IPC systems to configure input using a standard PS/2 AT keyboard (see Project<br />

Options). Essentially, this allows a lot of input to be entered during the commissioning phase. By default,<br />

German and English (US) keyboard formats are supported.<br />

4.10.1 Configuring Panel Keys<br />

A key in a project must first be appropriately configured before it can be assigned a function in the picture editor.<br />

At the same time, imprinted keys have preconfigured functions so the user only has to define application specific<br />

keys.<br />

Keys are configured in the picture overview. This is opened by selecting the<br />

'Pictures' node in the <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> editor tree view.<br />

Keys which have already been assigned can also be deleted in this global<br />

picture area!<br />

Panel key configuration is found in the lower right−hand part of the view.<br />
