Configuring the M key and Menu Select as HK7, HK8
The <M> key (Machine) and <MENU SELECT> key can be optionally configured as hotkeys.
Doing so causes these keys to lose their original definition and function. The new
functionality is defined by the KEYS.INI configuration file. If there is a definition in the
4-10
State
Action
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"
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).
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.
