How to create PLC alarms

Notes for processing

The following points should be observed when processing the files:

● The files should be edited externally on a PG/PC with a text editor (e.g. notepad) or with

an XML editor. The structure must not be altered.

● The created alarm text files are copied to the the following directory on the

CompactFlash card: oem/sinumerik/hmi/lng

● To enable the system to recognize the alarm text file, the file name must be written in lower

case letters.

● The alarm text file is converted during system startup: The system must be restarted to

activate the alarms.

Procedure

To edit a larger number of alarms, first create 2 or 3 alarms directly on the control. Then the

file oem_alarms_plc_xxx.ts is created and you have a "document template" with the correct

structure, which you can then extend with further alarms. The abbreviation "xxx" stands for the

language in which the file has been created.

1. Select the "Start-up" operating area.

2. Press the "HMI" softkey.

3. Press the "Alarm texts" softkey. The "Select file" window appears.

4. Select "oem_alarms_plc" to create manufacturer PLC alarm texts.

5. Enter the alarm number in the "Number" field and the desired alarm text in the "Text" field.

The alarm numbers and their alarm texts do not have to be consecutive. If an alarm is

triggered without a configured text, only the alarm number is specified.

Searching within the alarm texts

To search for a text or a series of characters:

1. Press the "Find >" softkey. The "Find" window opens and a new menu is displayed on the

vertical softkey bar.

2. Enter the search term in the "Text" field.
