Patrick Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning everyone, I have set up a calibration sequence where the operator needs to input data in a particular order. I would like to automatically call for a keypad to appear on the screen when a condition is met, the operator inputs the measurement, and when he presses enter, the sequence will continue until the next call for a keypad. Unfortunately I have not found the secret to call the keypad. Any pointers welcome Samba 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 kratmel Posted December 16, 2020 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 10 hours ago, Patrick said: secret to call the keypad I do not know this secret... But i make some screen with + - buttons for change numbers. (increment decrement rate changed if button pressed for long time). If it must be fast for operator - then + -button used for all for 5 numbers separately. Enter and Esc also present. +++++ ESC 00000 Enter - - - - - Operator like this screen big numbers and buttons.

MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted December 16, 2020 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hide all the HMI numeric entries except the first one. Use the "Legal Entry bit to unhide the next numeric entry in turn until all entries have been made (use ladder logic to have the hide bit turn off when the legal entry bit turns on) .
