Creating in-house alarm texts

Creating an alarm text file
1. You can copy a sample file "oem_alarms_eng.ts" from the following directory:
/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/lng
2. Save or create the file in the /oem/sinumerik/hmi/lng or
/user/sinumerik/hmi/lng directory. Create a separate file for each country language that is
supported.
3. Assign a unique name to the file, e.g. "my_alarms_eng.ts". You can freely select the file
names with the exception of the language code and the extension.
The file name always ends with the language code of the particular language and always
has the ".ts" extension. For example "my_alarms_deu.ts" for German or
"my_alarms_eng.ts" for English.
Creating alarm texts
1. Open the "my_alarms_eng.ts" file.
2. For each alarm text, you must insert your own area in the file that is marked using the
<message> tag.
3. The <name> tag contains the context names. Normally, you should not change the
specified name "
4. The <source> tag contains the alarm number and the name of the alarm source (source
URL). In the example "700000" is the alarm number and "/PLC/PMC" is the name of the
alarm source. The possible alarm sources can be found in the tables in Section Range of
alarms (Page 217).
5. The <translation> tag contains the alarm text.
