Alarm And Message Texts; Configuration File Mbdde.ini - Siemens SINUMERIK 840Di sl Commissioning Manual

Alarm and message texts

To enable easy adaptation of alarm and message texts to the specific requirements of an
automation system, the alarm and message texts are stored in freely accessible ASCII text
files.
The alarm and message texts contained in the text files are used commonly by all
SINUMERIK user interfaces:
● SinuCom NC
● 840Di startup
● HMI Advanced
By changing/modifying the texts or files or by creating new texts/files, a flexible adaptation to
the current requirements is possible.
Storing the text files
The files containing the alarm and message texts are stored on the hard disk in the directory
<Installationpfad>\dh\mb.dir\.
