Fundamentals of configuration
Configuration files
The defining data for new user interfaces are stored in configuration files. These files are automatically interpreted and the
result displayed on the screen. Configuration files are not stored in the software supplied and must first be set up and loaded
by the user.
Example configuration files (EasyXLanguage scripts) are included in the ...\examples\SINUMERIK_808D\easyXL folder of
the Toolbox.
An XML editor or another form of text editor can be used to generate the configuration files.
tion file name is case-insensitive.
Several interlinked dialogs create a menu tree. A link exists if you can switch from one dialog to another. You can use the
newly defined horizontal/vertical softkeys in this dialog to call the preceding or any other dialog.
Configured start softkeys can be used to create a further menu tree behind the start menu:
Pressing this key on the PPU calls the start menu, which is defined by the name "main" in the "xmld
ial.xml"
file. The start menu is used
to initiate your own operating sequences.
You can use the "main" menu to link your own dialogs or additional softkey bars so that they can be loaded
and used for executing additional actions.
Configuration files (EasyXLanguage scripts)
The following files in the relevant manufacturer's folder on the control are needed to configure user dialogs:
Script file "xmldial.xml" This script file uses XML tags to control
how the configured softkey menus and
dialog forms will appear in the user-
defined operating area on the HMI.
Bitmaps E.g. "text.bmp" or "text.png" The control system supports BMP and
XML files inserted in the "xmldi-
al.xml" control file with the
E.g. "machine_settings.xml" These files also contain programmed
instructions for displaying the dialog
forms and parameters on the HMI.
