SINUMERIK 840Di Manual (HBI) – 06.03 Edition
In order to be able to easily adapt alarm and message texts to the specific re-
quirements of an automation system, the alarm and message texts are stored in
freely accessible ASCII text files.
The alarm and message texts contained in the text files are used commonly by
all SINUMERIK user interfaces:
S
SinuCom NC
S
840Di start-up
S
HMI Advanced.
By changing/modifying the texts or files or by creating new texts/files, a flexible
adaptation to the current requirements is possible.
Files containing the alarm and message texts are stored on the hard disk in
directory <installation path>\dh\mb.dir\.
The alarm and message texts to be used are set in the file <installation
path>\mmc2\mbdde.ini. To this aim, the appropriate paths to the application-
specific standard and user files must be stored in the section [Textfiles] of the
file MBDDE.INI.
