Exporting operator and display texts
In SIMATIC Manager, you can export information relating to parameters, signals, and
messages to a file (in *.csv format).
You can edit this file in standard MS Office applications (such as Excel and Access).
The same mechanisms that are used for converting to project-specific languages are used for
the export.
Requirement
PCS 7 allows you to store all operator and display texts a language of your choice. The only
requirement is that the language must be installed in your project:
● The languages available in SIMATIC Manager can be displayed via the menu command
Options > Language for Display Devices.
● The number of languages offered is specified when Windows is installed (system
properties).
Procedure
1. Open the project in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. In the component view, select the master data library (or the project folder if this is not
available).
3. Select the menu command Options > Manage Multilingual Texts > Export.
The "Export User Texts" dialog box opens.
4. Make the following settings:
– In the "Text Tables" group, set the storage location and the format for the export file
(available formats: *.xls and *.csv).
– In the "Language" group, set the source and target languages in accordance with your
display language.
5. Click "OK".
6. If you have to manage several project-specific languages, repeat steps 3 to 5 for each
language. Please note that you then have to set different export file names or target
directories.
