Hotkey event
Structure:
KEYx.n = Task:=task, State:=state, Action:=action
The maximum number of attributes, which can be assigned to a hotkey event are
the 4 attributes in bold print above.
The KEY key attribute identifies the event and must always come first. All other
attributes are optional, but at least one other attribute must be specified. These
attributes can appear in any sequence in the line.
• Attribute Key (hotkey)
The value x.n contains the hotkey number x and a discrete event n
corresponding to the nth activation of the key (when the key is pressed several
times in succession).
For example, Key 3.5 addresses the hotkey event for HK3, 6th activation.
The range of value of the hotkey numbers is from 1 – 254.
The range of values for the event n is from 0 – 9 ( 10 keystrokes).
Hotkeys 1 – 8 are assigned to the keys of the Ops (refer to 5.1.1 OP hotkeys).
Hotkeys 9 –49 are reserved for Siemens. PLC-specific keys from 50 - 254 are
also available. These keys are not actual hotkeys, but are used for selecting
screen forms via the PLC (virtual keys). Keys 50 – 254 can also be configured
without a task. In this case, the event is always assigned to the current task.
• Attribute Task (operating area)
A hotkey is assigned to an operating area (task) via a task number. The task
number also defines the horizontal softkey to which the operating area is
assigned in the area switchover menu. This creates a permanent connection
between the task number and the corresponding softkey. In the HMI system,
there are three softkey menus (two in HMI Embedded), which are reserved for
the area switchover function. The default assignments are as follows:
Pressing the area switchover key selects softkey menu 1:
SK1
...
SK8
Pressing the ETC key accesses softkey menu 2
SK1
...
SK8
Pressing the ETC key again accesses softkey menu 3 (only possible in HMI
Advanced):
SK1
...
SK8
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).
