3 Creating user alarm texts

3.1 Generating Alarm Texts

Storing the text files
Files containing error texts are stored on the hard disk in directory
F:\dh\mb.dir\. The error text files provided for use are activated in file
f:\mmc2\mbdde.ini.
Standard files
The standard texts in ASCII format are stored on the hard disk of the HMI in the
following files:
MMC
NCK
PLC
ZYK
CZYK
In these file names, "XX" stands for the code of the appropriate language. The
standard files should not be changed by the user in order to store his or her own
error texts.
If these files are replaced by new ones when the HMI software is upgraded, then
the added or modified user-specific alarms will be lost. Users should store their
own error texts in user files.
Note
To prevent a modified MBDDE.INI file from being overwritten when the software
is updated, it must be stored in the USER path designated for that purpose:
<InstallationPath>\user\mbdde.ini.
Creating user alarms
The user can replace the stored error texts in the standard files with his own texts.
Likewise, the user can add new error texts.
To do this, the additional files must be imported into directory f:\dh\mb.dir
(MBDDE alarm texts) via the Services operating area. The names of these text files
are set in the f:\mmc2\mbdde.ini file. An editor is provided in the
Diagnostics\Startup\HMI area for this purpose.
Examples of configuration of two additional user files (texts for PLC alarms,
modified NCK alarm texts) in the MBDDE.INI file:
...
User MMC =
User NCK = F:\dh\mb.dir\mynck_
User PLC = F:\dh\mb.dir\myplc_
User ZYK =
User CZYK =
