9.2 Setting Numeric Values
Parameters, i.e. their numeric values can be changed within predefined ranges. They are described in
the following chapters. Not all numeric values allow to move the decimal point.
The operator has to select the variable or parameter he wants to change with the soft key “ENTER”.
Before the operator can change the value of a parameter, he has to enter the correct password. To
change values from the main menu items "Parameter" or "Configuration", the password needs to be
entered only once. For changing parameters from process data level, the operator has to enter the
correct password every time he wants to change a variable.
(Compare also chapter 10.)
→ If the password protection is passed, a special input screen is displayed. In this screen either the
decimal point (if available) or the lowest numeral or character will be automatically selected as
the first cursor position.
→ The current cursor position is always displayed in inverse colour. It can be changed step-by-
step by pressing the key “<-“.
→ If the decimal point is selected by the current cursor position, it can be moved step-by-step to the
left by pressing the soft key “+”.
→ Change the value of a selected numeral/character by pressing the key “+”.
→ Cancel the whole setting process by pressing the key “ESC” (Escape).
→ Confirm the whole setting process by pressing the key “ENTER”.
→ After
leaving the setting process by pressing the key “ESC” or “ENTER” the original menu
screen is shown again.
In the following example soft key 1 is “ESC”, key 2 is “+“, key 3 is “<-” and key 4 is “OK”.
Soft key 1: ESC
Soft key 2: +
Soft key 3: Å
Soft key 1 2 3 4
Soft key 4: OK
Important!
The new parameter/configuration data will be saved only after returning to the main
menu
– a short message thereby shows “Save in EEPROM”.
The password protection only becomes active again after returning to the main menu !
Return therefore to the main menu after completing the changes!
