Configuring alarms
13.2 Configuring alarm and message texts via alarm text files
Registering the alarm text file
You still have to register your alarm text file so that the system knows your alarm texts during
the program runtime:
1. You can copy a sample configuration file "oem_slaesvcadapconf.xml" from the following
directory: /siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/cfg
2. Save or create the file in the /oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg or
/user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg directory.
3. Assign the name "slaesvcadapconf.xml" to the file.
4. Open the file and in the <BaseNames> tag enter the file name of your alarm text file
without language code and file extension, e.g. "my_nck_alarms", as "value". The
registration of your alarm text file starts, for example, with the name
"Siemens_BaseName_01".
Note
The names of the <BaseNames> tag can be freely selected. They must be unique in the
system and must not clash with names used by Siemens.
The "Siemens_BaseName_01" name is reserved for Siemens.
Several alarm text files can also be registered. To do this, use names such as
"OEM_BaseName_02", "OEM_BaseName_03", etc.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Configuration of the Solutionline Alarm & Event Service Adapter -->
<CONFIGURATION>
</CONFIGURATION>
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 208)) 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.
