Function Key Assignment in WinCC Flexible 2008 SP2 for OP-77B

Dear Mit Patel,

You are correct that direct Function Key Assignment within Areapointers, as done in ProTool, is not directly available in WinCC Flexible 2008 SP2 when migrating an OP-7 project to an OP-77B.

Here's how you can achieve similar functionality:

1. Use Global Scripting: Implement the desired function key actions using global scripts. Associate these scripts with the Areapointers via events (e.g., Key Press events).
2. Key Press Events: Configure Key Press events within the Areapointers to trigger the corresponding global scripts. You'll need to identify the correct key codes for the function keys.
3. Indirect Addressing: Utilize indirect addressing within your scripts to dynamically control actions based on the pressed function key.

For detailed guidance, refer to the following Siemens documentation:

• WinCC Flexible Documentation
