Procedure
To configure the key filter, proceed as follows:
1. Switch to the template directory: C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl
\siemens\System\etc\
The settings can be viewed in the template pcuhwsvc.ini.
2. Save a copy of the template pcuhwsvc.ini to one of the user directories:
– C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\user\System\etc\
– C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\oem\System\etc\
– C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\addon\System\etc\
3. In the new file (e.g. ...\oem\System\etc\pcuhwsvc.ini), delete all data except for
the section name [KEYB_FILTER] and the keys that are to differ from the template.
All data and keys that do not occur in your file are automatically taken over from the template
in the siemens directory.
4. Save your file.
Example: Activating the key filter, but allowing use of the NUM-lock key.
This example activates the key filter (KeySequencesEnable = 1) and filters all possible
keyboard entries except the NUM-lock key.
KEYB_FILTER
KeySequencesEnable = 1
SeqActive_19= 0
In the adapted file in the user directory (e.g. ...\oem\System\etc\) therefore only the
section name [KEYB_FILTER] is mandatory as well as the settings that you want to adapt. All
other settings and values are taken over from the template.
Template of the key filter in the delivery condition
The template is located in directory C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl
\siemens\System\etc\
Do not overwrite this template, but save a copy of this template pcuhwsvc.ini in one of the
user directories.
