listed.
You can set and reset the option in the adjacent field, as in the "All Options" menu.

Use of non-licensed options
Before licensing options, you can also activate them temporarily without the license keys and
use them for test purposes. In this case, the control displays alarm 8080 periodically,

2.3 Setting-up network connections
The NCU hardware has its own network card and can be integrated in an existing network.
If the appropriate option is set, additional horizontal softkeys can be integrated in HMI-
Embedded with icons for a mapped drive or a local drive.
With the appropriate settings in the Program, Service and Commissioning operating areas,
you can access various memory locations or save data.
Possible connections
The number of connections between the HMI-Embedded system and different servers or
local drives is limited to eight.
These connections are also called "logical drives" and can be configured in three different
ways:
● from the HMI user interface
● using machine data
● using the "logdrive.ini" file
