SINUMERIK 840D/810D Start-Up Guide (IADC) – 03/2006 Edition
This number defines the alarm display type:
0: Display on the alarm line
1: Display in a dialog box
HMI Advanced only (PCU 50/ 50.3/ 70, with hard disk): The default assignment
of “0” means that the WinHelp file supplied by Siemens gives a detailed
explanation of the alarm. A value between 1 and 9 refers to a WinHelp file
created by the user via an allocation table in the MBDDE.INI file. See also
Subsection 8.3.1, HelpContext.
The associated text is given in inverted commas with the position parameters.
S You must not use the “ and # characters in alarm texts.
The % character is reserved for displaying parameters.
S If an existing text is to be used, this can be done with a reference to the
corresponding alarm. 6-digit alarm number instead of “Text”.
S The alarm text file may contain comment lines which must start with “//”. The
maximum length of the alarm text is 110 characters for a 2-line display. If the
text is too long, it is truncated and the symbol “*” added to indicate missing
text.
S Parameter “%K”: Channel number (2nd digit of the alarm number)
Parameter “%A”: The parameter is replaced by the signal group number
(e.g. axis no., user range no., sequence no.)
Parameter “%N”: Signal number
Parameter “%Z”: Status number
The ASCII file for PLC alarm texts has the following structure:
