Tool management
6.3 Language-dependence for user-defined name
HMI Advanced (IM4)
238 Commissioning Manual, 03/2009, 6FC5397-0DP10-3BA0
6.3 Language-dependence for user-defined name
6.3.1 Language-dependent name for magazines
Function
The magazine names are configured by the user in the Magazines screen via the tool
management start-up tool (IW). This is why the assigned names are contained in the tool
management database and after loading a magazine configuration also in the NCK but not in
a language DLL. In previous versions, this meant that they were not available in different
languages.
The new functionality allows the user to create the magazine names in different
languages/locales.
You can achieve this by entering name texts in the language-specific tool management INI
files for the magazines configured in the tool database.
There are two names for each magazine:
● the standard name (also known by the NCK) which is used for functional operation
● an associated language-specific name which is displayed on the operator interface.
If the user does not assign a language-specific name, the standard name from the NCK is
displayed in the tool management; and the standard name from the tool database is
displayed in the startup tool.
Entries in the language-specific INI files
Users must make the entries described here themselves. They are not written to the to the
INI files by HMI Advanced.
The language-specific INI files reside under ../hmi_adv/language.
File patm_xx.ini
Section [Magazine_VISName]
Entry Standard name="Language-specific text"
Example: "[Magazine_VISName]"
Chain1="Chain magazine 1"
Turret1="Turret 1"
...
For newly entered texts from the INI files to be activated in the display, you need to change
the language setting or start HMI Advanced again.
