Zones
The system can be divided into different zones. A zone might be where part of a particular
industrial process is carried out, for example assembly of parts. Zone-specific process
displays and possible operations can be configured in the project.
Note
You can also operate the HMI device without any zones being defined in the system.
Rules governing zones
A maximum of 254 zones is possible. A zone requires at least one transponder. A zone can
be formed by a maximum of 255 transponders. Zones must not overlap.
