You can achieve this by entering name texts in the language-specific tool management INI
files for the loading locations configured in the database.
There are two names for each loading location:
● the standard name which is used internally (tool database)
● 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 tool
database is displayed.
This also applies to the first location in the loading magazine which is automatically
assigned:
The tool management start-up tool (IW) automatically creates an entry in the tool database
for the first location in the loading magazine. This occurs at first access to the loading
locations screen with an original database. This location must always exist, therefore it is not
possible to delete it.
It is assigned the internal standard name "FirstLoadingPoint" with the following
characteristics:
● The default setting for all patm_xx.ini files contained in the scope of supply includes an
entry in [LoadLocation_VISName] for the location type "FirstLoadingPoint".
● In the Loading locations screen for the tool management startup tool (IW) the language-
specific text from patm_xx.ini is also displayed for the first loading location in the "Name"
selection box.
Already existing databases in systems that have already been operating for some time:
In older HMI versions, this 1st loading point was called "Loading point for spindle" or
"Loading point manual" (in the language set up at this time).
If it is detected on first startup of the tool management or associated startup tool (IW) with
the functionality described here, then the existing name in the database can be replaced with
"FirstLoadingPoint".
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.
Exception: FirstLoadingPoint="Loading point manual"
The language-specific INI files are called patm_xx.ini and can be found under
../hmi_adv/language. The user-defined patm_xx.ini files are found under .../user/language.
File patm_xx.ini
Section [LoadLocation_VISName]
Entry Standard name="Language-specific text"
Example: [LoadLocation _VISName]
FirstLoadingPoint="Loading point manual"
Loading station1="Main loading station"
...
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.
