Alarm number
List of alarm numbers
Display
This number defines the alarm display type:
0: Display in alarm line
1: Display in a dialog box
Help ID
Since help is not displayed with HMI Embedded, a "0" always has to be entered.
Text or alarm number
Characters " and # must not be used in alarm texts. The % character is reserved
for displaying parameters.
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".
• The maximum length of the alarm text is 110 characters in total for a 2-line
display. If the text is too long, it is truncated and the symbol "/*/" added to
indicate missing text. The entries should be separated from one another by
blanks.
Parameter "%K": = 0, e.g., channel number with FC10
(As substitute for %K, the 2nd digit of the 6-digit alarm number
is inserted in the alarm text). Digit count from left to right.
Parameter "%A": = 24, the parameter is replaced by the signal group no. (e.g.,
axis no., user area no., sequence cascade no.)
(As substitute for %A, the 3rd and 4th digits of the alarm
number are inserted in the alarm text).
Parameter "%N": = 63, e.g., signal number
(As substitute for %N, the 5th and 6th digits of the alarm
number are inserted in the alarm text).
Parameter "%Z": e.g., status number for Higraph
(As substitute for %Z, the supplementary information for the
alarm number is inserted in the alarm text. This parameter is
only relevant in conjunction with HIGRAPH programming
800000...899999).
