Priority of the traversing key identifiers
If traversing key identifiers are recorded in the HMI file: HT8_xx.INI, the HMI uses the
machine axis names from the machine data automatically.
If traversing key identifiers are recorded in the HMI file: HT8_xx.INI, only these are used for
inscription of the traversing keys.
A combination of the axis names from the machine data and the HMI file is not possible.
Note
By default, no traversing key identifiers are recorded in the HMI file: HT8_xx.INI.
Inscription of the traversing keys via machine data
By default, the first six machine axes in machine data MD 10000,
$MC_AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB[n] are named as "X1", "Y1", "Z1", "A1", "B1", "C1".
All other machine axes not explicitly mentioned in the machine data are named as "AXn" by
default (where n = number of the machine axis).
The traversing keys are inscribed with the machine axis names defined in the machine data
or with default identifiers: "AXn".
Inscription of the traversing keys via the HMI file: HT8_xx.INI
The inscriptions of the traversing keys can be defined in the [Axis key] section in the
HT8_xx.INI files (where xx = language code e.g. GR = German, EN = English) on the basis
of language for all the machine axis appearing in the system. These files are stored in the
following directory:
● <Installation drive>:/Siemens/Sinumerik/<HMI>/user/language.
All the axis names in the HT8_xx.INI files carry comments by default.

Note
The relevant original HT8_xx.INI file should not be changed, because it is overwritten
during an update of the HMI software. To create user-specific inscriptions, the file must
be copied to one of the following directories and changed there:
• .../user/language
• .../oem/language
• .../addon/language
