Please note that during machine operation, the user interface is locked and no new orders can be added, old orders edited, or deleted. After the machine work is completed and the stacker is reset (if present), the user interface will automatically unlock. The progress is either displayed depending on the PLC version or jumps to the completed amount at the end. Starting the order is only possible if the order is not yet completed. If this is not the case, you can adjust the processed amount using the edit function.
