Changing NC alarm texts

The NC alarm texts are stored on the configuration PC during installation of SINUMERIK
Integrate Create MyHMI /WinCC. Here, the familiar weighting concept of SINUMERIK is
used with the Siemens, OEM and User folders.
When you adapt the alarm text, read the information about file storage, the weighting
concept and character set in this section.
Storing
Templates of the NC alarm texts are saved in the following directory on the configuration PC
during installation of the TIA Portal:
● <Installation directory of the TIA Portal>\Data\Hmi\Sinumerik\Alarmtexts
● For example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\Automation\Portal V13\Data\Hmi\Sinumerik\Alarmtexts\
Note
Using original files for the NC alarm text only as template
To avoid losing the original files of the NC alarm texts, copy them to the user directory before
you change them.
The SINUMERIK alarm texts stored in the installation directory serve as template.
If you only want to modify texts, copy the corresponding alarm directory to the directory of
the relevant TIA Portal project:
● <Project directory>\IM\HMI\Sinumerik\Alarmtexts
● For example:
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Automation\My_Project\IM\HMI\Sinumerik\Alarmtexts
At this point in the project, alarm texts can now be changed.
We recommend that the original texts are kept in the "Siemens" directory and changes are
only made in a copy located in the "OEM" or "User" directories.
Weighting concept
The alarm texts are read line-by-line in the following order:
1. Siemens
2. OEM
3. User
Which means a changed alarm text in the OEM directory overrides the alarm text in the
Siemens directory.
A changed alarm text in the User directory in turn overrides the alarm text in the OEM or
Siemens directories.
