Activating the operating area
HMI Advanced
The operating area is enabled in the REGIE.INI file and is assigned to a softkey.
Example
Activation via horizontal softkey 4 in the 1st expanded menu (default setting).
● The entry must be made in the [Miscellaneous] section:
[TaskConfiguration]
Task11 = name := custom, Timeout := 12000
● In the REGIE.INI file, this operating area can also be selected as the standard startup
area. The entry must be made in the [Miscellaneous] section:
[Miscellaneous]
PoweronTaskIndex = 11
The corresponding lines can be deactivated by adding a ";" comment character at the
beginning of the line if the "Custom" operating area is not to be selected or should not be
activated on startup. The area can be assigned to a different softkey by changing the task
number.
HMI Embedded sl
Using the display machine data MD 9016: MM_SWITCH_TO_AREA, you can define in which
operating area HMI Embedded sl should start up (the "Custom" operating area can be
specified here).
The value in the MD provides the number of the softkey for the required operating area.
Default: 12
Horizontal softkeys 1 to 8: 1 – 8
Softkeys in the expanded menu: 9 – 16
The HMI software for the "Custom" application evaluates the CUSTOM.INI file and decides
whether the area should be displayed. In HMI Embedded sl, there is a section [Activate] for
this:
[Activate]
Activate=True
The operating area is assigned to a horizontal softkey by the customer using the Software
Configuration Kit (SCK.EXE), menu option "Modify configuration".
In order for the Custom operating area to be activated by default on start-up, the softkey
numbers must be entered in display machine data MD 9016: MM_SWITCH_TO_AREA.
If this display MD has the value -1, HMI Embedded sl will start up in the operating area
specified as the start-up area with SCK. On delivery, softkey 1 on the main menu is in the
"Machine" operating area.
