alarm. 6-digit alarm number instead of "text".

of the alarm text is 110 characters for a 2-line display. If the text is too long, it is truncated
and the symbol "*" is added to indicate missing text.

Parameter "%A": The parameter is replaced by the signal group no. (e.g. axis no., user
area no., sequence cascade no.)
Parameter "%N": Signal number
