Sytems such as Mazak (Mitsubishi control) and Fanuc have 4 PMC/PLC keylock inputs for each function, But in fact most OEM's and MTB's parallel the inputs under one Key switch, rather than clutter the panel with more than one switch.
It is usually harder to modify the Mazak's as they have their own variation of the Mitsubishi controller.
Otherwise it is a case of identifying the inputs and separating them, either physical input or PLC function.
I have never done it on this controller unfortunately.
