Function Keys
When creating screens, you can assign any of the 21 function keys to
objects so they do several tasks, such as turning on PLC input bits or
changing screens. Keys can have different task assignments for each
screen created.
Numeric Keypad
The keypad terminal has a numeric input keypad that includes
number keys, Enter, Backspace, – (negative), and . (decimal) keys.
To make a numeric entry, you call up a pop-up Numeric Entry
Scratchpad that displays the numbers as you type. You can send the
data to the PLC controller.
Special Keys

•
the arrow keys and Home are used to navigate through Set Bit
Cursor and Numeric Input Cursor Points, or the ASCII input
object
•
Select is used with the Set Bit Cursor and Numeric Input Cursor
Points to pop up the numeric entry scratchpad
•
Cancel can be used with all numeric keypads, Set Bit Cursor and
