13.2 Configuring alarm and message texts via alarm text files

Replacing standard alarm texts

You still have to define which standard alarm texts should be replaced by your alarm texts so

that during the program runtime, the original alarm text is replaced by your alarm text.

1. Create a new alarm attribute file (see Changing alarm attributes (Page 266)) in the /oem/

sinumerik/hmi/cfg or /user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg directory. The file name can be freely

selected, e.g. "my_nck_alarms_db.xml".

2. Open the file.

3. The file always comprises the two areas <Types> and <Sources>.

4. The <sources> tag includes the reference, assigned to an alarm source, e.g. "\NCK", to the

associated alarm text.

5. Link the contents of the <context> <name> tags with the contents of the <message>

<source> tags from your alarm text file.

– <context> <name> = the context name that you assigned

– <message> <source> = the number of the alarm whose text is to be replaced.

6. If you include an additional NCK alarm, copy the range from <Alarms> to </Alarms> and

adapt the alarm number.

7. If you include an additional alarm from another number range (e.g. PLC alarm), copy the

range <Sources> to </Sources> and then adapt the SourceID and SourceURL as well as

the alarm number.

You can take the corresponding SourceID and SourceURL from the table in Section Range

of alarms (Page 274).

A dedicated link must be created for each standard alarm for which the text is to be replaced.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE SlAeAlarmAttributes>

E.g. enter the following link in the alarm attribute file: <MSGTEXT>myNckAlarms Ι

10000</MSGTEXT>

Make sure that the context name and the alarm number are separated by the pipe

character "Ι".
