If this interface is specified, the text length limitation
Textlength = 33
must also be activated.
• The name of the PLC alarm text file (e.g., "alpu_") must be entered by the user
in the MBDDE.INI file in the [TextFiles] section under "UserPLC":
[TextFiles]
UserPLC=alpu_
User DB interface to PLC
Two lines in the header can be used for the display:
• Program path line
• Program name line
The user DB interface provides
• A start data byte (job detection by HMI), and
• Secondary bytes, with which
- a number,
- an axis index, and
- a text (length 12 characters/special characters)
can be output.
If "00" is written to a byte during text input, the HMI interprets this as the end of
text. Inputs after this "00" entry are not displayed.

Bit 0=1: there is
something to
do
All bytes=1: job is
acknowledged by
HMI
All bytes=0: PLC
can write to
interface again
Offset for text

Index from
–127 to 128
negative number
(-1=0xFF, -2=0xFE) is
machine axis index,
positive number is
channel axis index
The index is then
converted to an
axis name before
being displayed.
