8.1.2 Alarm text files for MMC 102/103
Files containing error texts are stored in directory C:\dh\mb.dir\. The error text
files to be used are activated in file c:\mmc2\mbdde.ini.
Extract from mbdde.ini, relevant for the configuration of alarm text files:
...
[Textfiles]
MMC=c:\dh\mb.dir\alm_
NCK=c:\dh\mb.dir\aln_
PLC=c:\dh\mb.dir\plc_
ZYK=c:\dh\mb.dir\alc_
CZYK=c:\dh\mb.dir\alz_
UserMMC=
UserNCK=
UserPLC=c:\dh\mb.dir\myplc_
UserZyk=
UserCZyk=
...
The standard texts in ASCII format are stored in the following files on the hard
disk of the MMC 101/102/103:
MMC C:\dh\mb.dir\alm_XX.com
NCK C:\dh\mb.dir\aln_XX.com
PLC C:\dh\mb.dir\alp_XX.com
ZYK C:\dh\mb.dir\alc_XX.com
CZYK C:\dh\mb.dir\alz_XX.com
In these file names, “XX” stands for the code of the appropriate language. The
standard files should not be changed by the user to incorporate error texts. If
these files are replaced when new MMC101/102/103 software is installed, user-
specific alarms incorporated or modified by the user will be lost. Users should
store their own alarm texts in user files.
Users can replace the error text stored in the standard files by their own texts or
add new ones to them. To do so, load additional files in directory c:\dh\mb.dir
(MBDDE alarm texts) via the “Services” operating area. The names of the text
files are set in file c:\mmc2\mbdde.ini. An editor is available for this in area
Diagnostics\Start-up\MMC.
Examples of configuration of two additional user files (texts for PLC alarms, al-
tered alarm texts NCK) in file mbdde.ini:
...
User MMC =
User NCK = C:\dh\mb.dir\mynck_
User PLC = C:\dh\mb.dir\myplc_
User ZYK =
User CZYK =
