Description

Operating device Technical Field The invention relates to an operating device for operating a functional unit, in particular in the area of BOS vehicles, having an operating unit carrier in which an operating unit which can be backlit by means of a backlight mechanism, such as a key zone, is arranged, wherein the operating unit has a plurality of operating zones which each belong to an operating zone unit and are each assigned to a specific function of the assigned functional unit, wherein each operating zone unit has a switching structure which can be actuated by actuation of the assigned operating zone for activating the function of the assigned functional unit. Background Such operating areas have long been known and have also long been used in the field of BOS vehicles (BOS: institutions and institutions with security tasks). In this field, it is advantageous if different functional units, such as emergency vehicles (Einsatzfahrzeug), can be operated by a central operating device, such as an operating panel. Such as a built-in pump, a projector, a foam mixing mechanism or a lighting mechanism on board the vehicle can belong to the functional unit. It is often difficult for the operator to maintain an overview of a large number of operating fields of the operating device, especially in strenuous use situations. In order to be able to follow the optimal sequence of operation of the different operating zones, the functional units are thus activated in the most advantageous sequence in succession, requiring training and training. Disclosure of Invention The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an operating device of the type mentioned at the outset, which supports an operator for controlling different functional units. This object is achieved by an operating device. The improvements of the invention are shown in the dependent claims. The operating device according to the invention is characterized in that the backlight means has a plurality of backlight units which each belong to one of the operating field units, the assigned operating field can be backlit by the backlight units in a plurality of different display colors, wherein the operating field units are each connected to an electronic control means, the electronic control means being configured such that in the non-actuated basic state at least one operating field is backlit by means of a display color which indicates the readiness of the operating field and the other operating field is not backlit, and in the readiness state the operating field is backlit with a display color which indicates the readiness of the other display in the event of a change in color when actuated, and additionally at least one other operating field which has not been backlit so far is backlit with a display color which indicates the readiness or with a further display color which indicates a malfunction is backlit. The operating device gives (AN DIE HAND geben) a menu instruction which is easily understood by the user or operator, for which only the operating field whose assigned functional unit is to be activated by means of manipulation of the operating field is illuminated or backlit. Other operating fields assigned to other functional units do not first appear on the operating unit. Another aspect is that the operating field is backlit after it has been activated with a different display color than in the previously unactivated ready state. This also assists the operator. Another important aspect is that after an operating field has been manipulated in order to activate a specific functional unit, a further operating field is present on the operating unit, as a result of which a further functional unit can be activated. In summary, a feasible solution for the operator to operate the operating device easily and comfortably results. The menu guides the operator and predefines the order of manipulation for him. The readiness of the operating field represents the readiness of the assigned functional unit. The activated state of the operating field represents the activated state or the operating mode of the assigned functional unit. The operation unit bearing portion may be a case in which the operation unit is received or an instrument panel on which the operation unit is fixed. The operating unit can be configured as a key area. In a development of the invention, the electronic control unit is configured such that, when the operating region assigned to a particular function in the ready state is actuated and no malfunction occurs, a single operating region which has not been backlit so far is backlit, which is assigned to the logically next function following the function of the actuated operating region, or alternatively a plurality of operating regions which have not been backlit so far. In this way, a control sequence is predefined for the operator, which is adapted to the purpose of use to the optimal operating sequence of the functional units. In a
