Inscription of the user softkeys via the HMI file: HT8_xx.INI
The inscriptions of the traversing keys can be defined in the [CPF softkey Text] section in the
HT8_xx.INI files (where xx = language code e.g. GR = German, EN = English) on the basis
of language. These files are stored in the following directory:
● <Installation drive>:/Siemens/Sinumerik/<HMI>/user/language.
Note
The relevant original HT8_xx.INI file should not be changed because it is overwritten
during an update of the HMI software. For the creation of user-specific inscriptions, the
file is to be copied to and changed in one of the following directories:
• .../user/language
• .../oem/language
• .../addon/language
