Priority of PLC error 
messages
You can enter a priority between 0 and 2 for the PLC error messages defined 
in the PET table. Priority 0 (error) is the highest priority, followed by priority 1 
(warning) and priority 2 (info). PLC error messages triggering an EMERGENCY 
STOP receive the highest priority (independent of the priority from the PET 
table). Therefore, these error messages always appear at the first position in 
the error list. The error message External EMERGENCY STOP has a lower 
priority, but still a higher priority than the top PLC priority. This means that PLC 
error messages triggering an emergency stop always appear at the first 
position in the error list. They are followed by External EMERGENCY STOP and 
then by further PLC error messages, depending on their priority.
Error text file Error texts are defined directly in the PET table (max. 32 characters; not 
language-sensitive) or in the error text file. In the error text file, you define the 
error text to be displayed as well as the information on the cause of error and 
corrective action.
Error text files are language-sensitive. The path for the error text file is 
permanently defined: %OEM%\plc\language\en (or another language 
abbreviation). 
In MP_System/DisplaySettings/CfgDisplayLanguage/plcErrorLanguage, you 
define the language to be used.
You define the name of the error text files in MP_errorText.

Structure of the 
PET table
The PLC error message table (*.PET) consists of the following columns, to 
which you can assign special attributes:
 NR 
Line number in the table. The modules select the PLC error message by 
assigning the line number.
 ERROR 
The error texts can be specified in the following manners:
• Direct entry of the error text (max. 32 characters)
• Line number of the PLC error text file (# <line no.>) defined in 
MP_errorText.
 MARKER
The PLC error message can be activated without module call by setting the 
marker defined here. The marker is also set if the error message was 
activated through Module 9085. Enter the symbolic name of the marker to 
be set.
Entry 0: No error marker
