"netnames.ini" file
A channel group, e.g. channel group 1 is therefore specified as follows:
[CH_GRP_1] ;
;
;
;
Name of the channel group; the notation
must follow this scheme. The groups are
consecutively numbered at the last
position.
Text = Process1 ;
;
;
;
Softkey text for the channel group for
display in the channel menu (horizontal
softkey) switchover designation 1 of the
channel group.
Member1.Target =

Computer name (host name) or the IP
address of the computer on which the HMI
to be selected runs (NCU or PCU):
<HMI> = <IP address or name of the HMI
host (PC/PCU)>
<HMI> can be omitted if the HMI runs
locally on the NCU
<NC> = <IP address or name of the NC>
Alternatively, the machine name can also
be specified from the mmc.ini.
Using ".#Channel number", optionally the
NC channel can be specified that should
be taken when switching over.

Softkey text for the display in the
channel menu (vertical softkey). If, for
"Target" a channel number is specified,
then instead of a text, using the fixed
value "$MC_CHAN_NAME", it can also be
defined that the text to be displayed
should be the channel name defined in the
NCK machine data.
Member2.Target =
Member2.Text ; Same as for the vertical softkey 2
6.5 Configuring operating stations in the "config.ini" file
The version of the channel menu is individually defined for the operator stations in the
"config.ini" files belonging to the station. The data defined in the "netnames.ini" file is used.
Here, the channel groups are assigned a softkey in the channel menu.
