Functions For Start Softkeys - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Commissioning Manual

Operating area
Diagnostics
Startup
Start softkeys are configured in special files. The names of these files are stated in the
easyscreen.ini file. They usually have a name which is specific to an operating area (e.g.
startup.com for the startup area). The machine operating area represents an exception. There
are several mode-specific files in the machine operating area (ma_jog.com, ma_auto.com).
The softkey menu with the start softkeys is called "Start". Existing configurations for start
softkeys can still be used. The function whereby start softkeys are merged with the softkeys
for the respective HMI application (operating area) in the start softkey menu is not supported.
This means that until the first dialog call is made - in other words, the time at which full
functionality becomes available (e.g. execution of PRESS blocks) - menus or softkey menus
can only be replaced by others in their entirety.
Template for configuration of the start softkey
A detailed description of all permissible positions for start softkeys and their configuration is
located in the easyscreen.ini file in the following directory:
[System SIEMENS directory] /cfg
This file is used as a template for your own configuration of the start softkey.
