Entry format
Details about the input format can be found in the "Hotkey event" subsection below.
To enable a better understanding of the input format, multiple keypresses will be
described first.
Multiple keypress
A function extension determines the sequence when the hotkey is pressed
repeatedly:
1. The number "n" in the key data in file Keys.ini represents the number of
keypress repeats, thus allowing a separate task/state/action combination to be
assigned each time the hotkey is pressed. This means that each time the key
is pressed, a change of state can take place and a screen and a softkey can
be selected.
2. When the user changes to another operating area, the repeat status of the
hotkey is cleared. In the new area, the hotkey is considered not to have been
pressed.
It does not matter how the user changed to the other operating area (operating
area menu, etc.). In addition, each time a function key is pressed (e.g., softkey,
area switchover key, channel switchover key, etc.), the status is reset.
3. Inputting data into fields in the current screen form does not interrupt the
repetition sequence. Pressing a softkey in the current screen form interrupts
the repetition sequence with the softkey, which was used to call the current
screen form.
Note
Multiple keypress is possible for HK1–HK8 and for keys HK9–HK49, which are
reserved for Siemens.
Configuration file Keys.ini
Every version in the configuration file Keys.ini in the above mentioned directories
results in the hotkey responses in a section [KeyConfiguration]. Every entry (line)
defines the response of the system to a specific actuation (in the sense of multiple
actuation of specific hotkeys. These are known as hotkey events in the following
text.
The keys.ini configuration file has a dedicated section for assigning the ini files for
PLC keys. Without this entry, the ini files will not be detected. The default settings
are as follows:
[HMI_INI_FILES]
Task0 = machine.ini
Task1 = paramet.ini
Task2 = program.ini
Task3 = services.ini
Task4 = diagnosis.ini
Task5 = startup.ini
Task6 = shopmill.ini alternative Task6 = shopturn.ini depending on the system,
mandatory!
Task11 = custom.ini
