Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

10.3 Message system
10.3.1 Message classes and message types
Introduction
Interrupts and messages are divided into message classes and message types. There are
default settings for message classes and message types provided by the system when a
project is created. These predefined message classes and message types can be selected in
the AS configuration.
Note
The "User-configurable message classes” function allows the representation and sorting to be
configured, such as sorting according to predefined importance. When using the "User-
configurable message classes" function, observe the information in the section "Configuring
the PCS 7 message system" in the manual "SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7
Engineering System" (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109485969).
Process control and system messages are also automatically generated by the project editor
for a new project. The user does have the option of suppressing individual process control
messages and assigning a message priority on the "Message configuration" tab, but only if
the option for delta loading is disabled on the "General" tab, thus necessitating a complete
download subsequently.
