Messages and Hints

B-10

B 2.1 Priority levels

Messages which arrive from the process stations can be of varying importance for the problem-
free running of the process. The Freelance 2000 system offers

six

different priority levels for

messages. Four display colors are allocated to these.

Priority level

Type of message

Display color

S1 - S3

System message

blue

Fault message

red

2

Fault message

orange

Fault message

yellow

Switch message

Hint message

-

The same color is used in the message line, message list and faceplates to indicate the
priority level of a message.

The colors indicated here are default settings of the Freelance 2000 system. The display
colors of the various message priorities can be changed to take account of particular
country- or company-specific requirements. Since a modification of this kind affects the
overall appearance of DigiVis and has safety-relevant aspects, this change should only
be made in collaboration with the responsible commissioning engineer or service engi-
neer. The Freelance 2000 documentation always refers to the standard color setting.
