2.5.2 Configuring user alarms
Files supplied with the system
The files with the alarm texts in the ASCII format are saved on the PCU hard disk under the
following path:
MMC F:\dh\mb.dir\alm_XX.com
NCK F:\dh\mb.dir\aln_XX.com
PLC F:\dh\mb.dir\alp_XX.com
ZYK F:\dh\mb.dir\alz_XX.com
CZYK F:\dh\mb.dir\alc_XX.com
In these file names, "XX" stands for the code of the appropriate language. The standard files
should not be changed by the user in order to store his or her own alarm texts.
Note
To prevent a modified MBDDE.INI file from being overwritten when the software is updated,
it must be stored in the path designated for that purpose: ..\user\mbdde.ini
Creating user alarms
The user can replace the alarm texts supplied by his own texts or add his own texts. To do
this, use the Editor available in the area "Start-up" → "HMI" → "Editor".
To do this, the additional files must be created in directory f:\dh\mb.dir (MBDDE alarm texts)
via the "Services" operating area.
The texts from the user files overwrite standard texts with the same alarm number. Alarm
numbers that do not already exist in the standard texts are added.
Format of text file for cycle alarm texts
The structure of the text file for cycle alarms and compile cycle alarms is as follows:
Alarm number Display Help ID Text or alarm number
60100 1 0 "No D number %1 is programmed"
60101 1 0 60100
... ... ... ...
65202 0 1 "Axis %2 in channel %1 is still moving"
// Alarm text file for cycles in English
The number range in the list is not available with every number.
