Update center - "Diagnostics messages" tab

Meaning
Diagnostics buffer events can be output in Web diagnostics. The necessary text file is
available in English on the CP when it ships.
Language files
You can change the language of the diagnostics messages by writing the text file from your
STEP 7 installation to the file system of the CP. As soon as a text file is transferred to the file
system of the CP as described below, the CP uses this file instead of the default text file as
shipped.
Note
The language file and language setting for Web diagnostics are independent of each other
The language file used for the diagnostics buffer texts is used regardless of the language
setting for Web diagnostics. The loaded language file is therefore valid for all selected
language settings.
Note
Language setting for CPU and other module types (not CP)
Language settings made for a CPU and other module types in the STEP 7 configuration or in
other ways have no influence on the appearance of Web diagnostics via the CP as
described here. Only the currently loaded language file is used for all entries.
If STEP 7 is installed, you will find the text files for specific languages on your PG/PC in the
following directory:
...\Program files\Common files\Siemens\s7wmedb\data
The files are stored there as "s7wmeldx.edb"; x = {a,b,c,d,e,j} (where a = German; b =
English; c = French; d = Spanish; e = Italian; j = Japanese)
