Configuring alarms
13.2 Configuring alarm and message texts via alarm text files
The result of the conversion is written to the file "oem_ae_database_conversion.log". This file
is located in the "/user/sinumerik/hmi/log" directory.
Note
The conversion is only carried out if the XML file is newer than the associated hmi file.
13.2.5 Replacing standard alarm texts
You can replace alarm texts of the standard SINUMERIK Operate with own alarm texts.
Creating an alarm text file
1. You can copy a sample alarm text file "oem_alarms_eng.ts" from the following directory: /
siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/lng
2. Save or create the file in the /oem/sinumerik/hmi/lng or
/user/sinumerik/hmi/lng directory. Create a separate file for each country language that is
supported.
3. Assign the file a user-specific name, e.g. "my_nck_alarms_eng.ts". You can freely select
the file names with the exception of the language code and the extension.
The file name always ends with the language code of the particular language and always
has the ".ts" extension. For example "my_nck_alarms_deu.ts" for German or
"my_nck_alarms_eng.ts" for English.
Creating alarm texts
1. Open the "my_nck_alarms_eng.ts" file.
2. A separate area must be inserted for each alarm text, marked by the <message> tag.
3. The <name> tag contains the context names. Change the name and ensure that the name
is unique in the system, e.g. "myNckAlarms".
Note
The name for the <name> tag can always be freely selected. However, the name must not
clash with the "slaeconv" name used by Siemens.
4. The <source> tag contains the alarm number of the standard alarm, e.g. 10000.
5. The <translation> tag contains the actual alarm text, e.g. "OEM alarm text example for NCK
alarm 10.000".
