5.1 Introduction

This chapter deals with configuring
• A group of 6 hotkeys on the OP 010 and OP 010C or Sinumerik keyboards with
hotkey blocks
• The optional reconfiguration of the "Machine" and "Menu Select" keys
• Keys (e.g., machine console keys) and events evaluated by the PLC, which, as
PLC keys or "virtual keys", can initiate configured sequences of operations in
the HMI system.
Overview
PLC
The 6 OP hotkeys can be used to display any HMI operating area directly. This
shortens the usual selection process via the main menu. The standard assignment
of the 6 hotkeys can be reconfigured.
The interface between the PLC and the HMI enables a PLC key to be transferred
from the PLC to the HMI. The operations initiated on the HMI system in this way
can be configured. Key numbers 50 to 254 are available for use by the PLC.
As an option, the "Machine" and "Menu Select" keys can be configured in the same
way as the 6 OP hotkeys. They are assigned to HK7 and HK8.
Configuration is carried out using the Expand user interface system functions
described in the previous chapters.
Applications
• Selection of operating areas (e.g., Machine, Parameters, etc.)
• Selection of specific submenus (e.g., selection of the alarm screen in the
Diagnosis area)
• Initiation of actions (e.g., selection of the tool list in the Parameters area and
pressing of softkey HS3)
• Specific selection of menus created using the Expand user interface system
• Selection of additional screens, depending on the current operating situation, in
screens created using the Expand user interface system.
