Appendix Connection point recognition A.1.1 Overview Introduction You can divide a system into several zones or functional areas by using several terminal boxes. For this purpose it may be necessary for different system screens to be displayed, depending on the terminal box used. This is achieved by means of connection point recognition.
Appendix A.1 Connection point recognition Note The "Project ID" range pointer can be used to ensure that the HMI device is connected to the PLC that forms the basis of the project. The "Project ID" range pointer can be assigned to only one PLC for each project (see "WinCC flexible Communication"...

Page 90
Appendix A.2 Evaluation of the operator control elements • Bit coding of handwheel – A setpoint is not specified for the handwheel. – After startup of the HMI device, bytes n+3 to n+4 (see figure) are set to zero. Rotation of the handwheel produces positive or negative pulses depending on the rotation direction.
Appendix A.2 Evaluation of the operator control elements Response time Bytes n+3 and n+4 must be scanned on the PLC side within a second and cyclically. This ensures that no more than 256 pulses can be added between two scans of the handwheel. For 256 pulses, approximately 4.5 revolutions of the handwheel are required.
Page 92
Appendix A.2 Evaluation of the operator control elements A.2.3.2 Basic procedure Introduction You can use WinCC flexible system functions to evaluate the operator control elements of the HMI device or to control the LEDs of the softkeys and of the illuminated pushbutton. Direction pulses of the handwheel and the switch state of the softkeys, key-operated switch, or illuminated pushbutton are then transferred via tags to the PLC.
