Programming a hotkey event
Syntax: KEYx.n = Task:=task, State:=state, Action:=action
Parameters: Key (HotKey) The value x 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).
The range of values of the hotkey number goes
from 1 to 254.
The range of values for the event n goes from 0 to
9 (10 keystrokes)
Hotkeys 1 to 8 are assigned to the keys of the
OPs. Hotkeys 9 to 49 are reserved for Siemens.
PLC-specific keys from 50 to 254 are also
available. These keys are not actual hotkeys, but
are used for selecting screens via the PLC (virtual
keys). Keys 50 to 254 can also be configured
without a task. In this case, the event is always
assigned to the current task.
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 sl) reserved for the area switchover
function.
The default assignments are as follows:
Pressing the area switchover key selects softkey
menu 1.
SK1 → Task0 ...
SK8 → Task7
Pressing the <ETC> key again accesses softkey
menu 2
SK1 → Task8 ...
SK8 → Task15
Pressing the <ETC> key again accesses softkey
menu 3 (only possible in HMI Advanced):
SK1 → Task16 ...
SK8 → Task23
