Dialog selection
9.2 Dialog selection using PLC hard keys
The LM and LS commands to be executed upon activation of the relevant PLC softkeys are
configured in the easyscreen.ini file. The names of the sections that are used for the purpose
of configuration are structured as follows:
[areaname_dialogname]
[AreaParameter_SlPaDialog]
100.screen1 = LS("Softkey1","param.com")
101.screen3 = LM("Screen
form1","param.com")
action.screen=Command

Dialog selection using PLC hard keys
Field of application
The following functions can be initiated in the operating software by the PLC:
● Select an operating area
● Select certain scenarios within operating areas
● Execute functions configured at softkeys
Hard keys
All keys - also the PLC keys - are subsequently referred to as hard keys. A maximum of 254
hard keys can be defined. The following allocation applies:
Key number
Key 1 – key 9
Key 10 – key 49
Key 50 – key 254
Key 50 – key 81
Key 255
194
The first part of the name "areaname" refers to the operating
area and the second part "dialogname" designates the dialog
to which the commands configured in this section apply.
The names given in the systemconfiguration.ini file for the op‐
erating area and dialog should be used. The dialog does not
have to be specified.
This is particularly true for operating areas which are only im‐
plemented by means of a single dialog. Please refer to the ex‐
ample on the left.
If "screen1" is displayed in the AreaParameter operating area
implemented by the SlPaDialog dialog, the "LS("Softkey1","par‐
am.com")" command will be executed when the "action" with
the value 100 occurs.
Both the "action" and "screen" attributes clearly indicate when
the specified command will be executed.
The "screen" information is optional.
The following commands are permissible:
LM (LoadMask)
LS (LoadSoftkeys)
Application
Keys on the operator panel front
Reserved
PLC keys:
reserved for OEMs
Pre-assigned by control information.
