Pressing the <ETC> key again returns to softkey
menu 1. In HMI Advanced, the range of values for
the task numbers is between 0 and 23, in HMI
Embedded it is between 0 and 15. If no task is
specified, the event is assigned to the current task
(current operating area).
The task numbers can be accessed:
• From the REGIE.INI file for HMI Advanced.
• With the SCK (Software Configuration Kit) tool
in HMI Embedded sl.
An application-specific assignment between SKs
and operating areas (tasks) can be preset during
configuration:
• HMI Advanced:
[TaskConfiguration] section in the REGIE.INI
file
• HMI Embedded sl: SCK "Modify configuration"
State The State attribute can be used to select a specific
screen within a task. The range of values depends
on the individual application and is limited to
between 0 and 65534 (65535 is used by the
system).
Action The Action attribute can be used to select a
specific softkey within a task. In order to be
effective, the attribute must be set from a defined
state, e.g., the main menu.
The range of values depends on the corresponding
application, with a maximum of between 0 and 17.
A special role is played by the Action attribute with
a value ≥ 100, which initiates a screen selection
via "Expand user interface".
Actions in the value range 0 - 99 are not executed
for ShopMill/ShopTurn.
