5.6 Editing user text files
There are two ways to create or edit alarm text files.
1. You can copy the default files on the CompactFlash card from the "siemens"
area, edit them as required and store them in your own "oem" or "user" areas.
2. You can copy in-house text files, e.g., files that have already been modified,
from a USB stick and paste them to the CompactFlash card to your own "oem"
or "user" areas.
!
Important
The entire files must always be stored to prevent the contents of files in different
subtrees being compared.
Copying files, e.g., from a USB stick
• If you want to copy data from a USB stick, first insert the USB stick in the USB
interface on the front of the OP.
• Press the "Start-up" softkey.
• Press the "HMI" → "Editor (HMI only)" softkeys.
• Select the connection, e.g., to the USB stick using the vertical softkeys ("USB
front").
• Select the text file by using the arrow keys to select the directories and opening
them with the "Input" key.
• Press the "File Function" softkey.
• Press the "Copy" softkey.
• Press the "Back" softkey and then select the storage path.
Inserting files, e.g., onto the CompactFlash card
• Press the "Memory Card (CF)" softkey.
• Select the appropriate directory (see section: Storage of text files) by using the
arrow keys to select the directories and opening them with the "Input" key.
• Press the "File Function" softkey.
• Press the "Insert" softkey.
Edit files
• To edit the selected file, press the "Input" key to open the file.
• Press the "Close editor" softkey to close the file.
