Siemens SINUMERIK Commissioning Manual

Configuring the HMI system
2.1 Processing INI files
HMI Advanced (IM4)
Commissioning Manual, 03/2009, 6FC5397-0DP10-3BA0
29
The values of "SkSelectLngInsteadSkChangeLng" have the following significance:
False: "Change Language" softkey for changing between the foreground and
background language, same as before (default setting).
True: "Select Language" softkey to select one of the installed languages.
This means that online, more than two languages can be changed over at the
language change position after the appropriate selection.
If the setting is TRUE (Language Selection), the following values should be added to the
entries in the "[LANGUAGE]" section in the MMC.INI file:
LanguageList= ... , GR
FontList= ... , Europe
FontListKO= ... , Europe2
LBList= ... , German
Note
With Language Selection the first language is not provided as a choice. If you list the first
language again in the language list (and therefore also in the corresponding font settings),
then the first language is also listed in the language selection menu.
Assigning parameters
The names of the softkeys are predefined.
HSx x 1 - 8 , horizontal softkeys 1 to 8
VSy y 1 - 8 , vertical softkeys 1 to 8
Not all softkeys need to be assigned.

2.1.8 Creating user operator menus
Function
Skeleton applications can be generated with the following additional options:
● Free design of operating tree: Creation of new operating levels, new arrangement of
softkeys for previous operating levels and the new operating levels.
● Integration of user applications in the operating levels (OEM applications).
● Calling standard applications from any operating level, including defined submenus.
Using the "Skeleton application" function, existing operating areas used in HMI-Advanced
can be combined and selected with a new softkey – simply by means of configuration. This
releases operating areas/softkeys in the main menu for dedicated operating areas (OEM
applications).
The "Skeleton application" function can be used repeatedly to define a subordinate operating
level from an existing operating level. This allows free operating tree design.
