The standard alarm and message texts in ASCII format are stored in the follow-
ing files on the hard disk:
– MMC : <installation path>\dh\mb.dir\alm_XX.com
– NCK : <installation path>\dh\mb.dir\aln_XX.com
– PLC : <installation path>\dh\mb.dir\alp_XX.com
– ZYK : <installation path>\dh\mb.dir\alz_XX.com
– CZYK : <installation path>\dh\mb.dir\alc_XX.com
"XX" stands for the abbreviation of the appropriate language (see Table 12-1,
Page 12-415).
The standard text files should not be modified for adaptation of the alarm and
message texts. In the case of a software update, the inserted or modified user–
specific texts would be lost by overwriting the existing data. It is therefore ur-
gently recommended to store user–specific alarm and message texts in sepa-
rate user text files.
You can replace the alarm and message texts stored in the standard text files
by your own user–specific text files or extend them.
Note
To edit the text files, any ASCII editor can be used.
When editing the text files with a different editor, make sure that they are then
stored in ASCII format.
The alarm and message texts from the user files replace the standard texts with
the same alarm and message numbers.
Texts for alarm or message numbers not contained in the standard texts are
additionally provided.
Notice
The maximum length of an alarm or message text displayed over two lines is
110 characters.
The user–specific text files must be copied with operating area:
