Language-dependent texts
Texts used in screen forms can be specified explicitly in configuration files or,
particularly in cases where screen forms are to be displayed in different languages,
stored separately in text files. The syntax for texts in screen forms and alarm texts
is identical.
You can choose between:
• Incorporation of texts into user alarms
(HMI Embedded, HMI Advanced, HT6)
• Separate files for text in configured screen forms on the NC
(HMI Embedded, HT6).
More information about this variant for setting up configuration files directly on
the control appears in "Storing configuration files".
The selected variant must be defined for HMI Embedded and HT6 by means of
further entries in the control file.
Language-dependent texts can be used for:
• Softkey labels
• Headings
• Help texts
• Any other texts
Text file names
In respect of incorporation into ALUC alarm text files (user cycle alarms), a uniform
approach can be adopted with HMI Embedded, HT6 and HMI Advanced. The
names of the language files can be defined by the user and are specified in
COMMON.COM.
For more information, see "Structure of the COMMON.COM control file".
Format of a text entry
The text number is assigned to the text within the file by the following method:
8xxxx 0 0 "text"
where:
xxxx 5000 to 9899 (text identification number range reserved for users). You
must assign unique numbers.
Text Text that appears in the screen form, enclosed in inverted commas
Examples:
85000 0 0 "Retraction level"
85001 0 0 "Drilling depth"
85002 0 0 "Thread pitch"
85003 0 0 "Pocket radius"
Parameters 2 and 3 are separated by blanks and act as control characters for
alarm text output. To ensure that the text format is identical to that of the alarm
texts, these two parameters must always be set to 0.
The following control characters are possible in the texts:
%n Line break
%@x Axis name of axis x (x is a number between 1 and 5),
(HMI Embedded, HT6 only)
