1.2.7

Extension with alarm text variables

Function

A special situation with respect to parameterization of the section for descriptive texts or
topic names is to store these in the section instead of the descriptive texts ("alarm text
variables").
These variables begin with "$".
E.g., m/14//CYCLExx/$888888
Instead of entering the descriptive text directly in the help text file, this is entered under alarm
text variable "$888888", for example.
The actual declaration of the descriptive text is therefore stored in a user-specific alarm text
file.
The result is a non-language-specific text file.
