The DOS editor "edit" should be used for editing.
The standard texts contained in the text files can be overwritten by user-specific
texts. An ASCII editor, e.g. DOS editor, must be used for this purpose. New
entries can be added to alarm text files.
Please refer to Section 8.3 for the applicable syntax rules.
HMI Embedded may be set up online with two languages. These are referred to
as the foreground and background languages.
The foreground and background languages of the HMI system can be changed
using the application diskette, as described in chapter 12, "Changing the Soft-
ware and Hardware".
During installation, it is possible to select any combination of two of the
languages on the application disk as the foreground and background
languages.
The master language is German. It defines the number and order of the alarm/
message texts for the languages selected by the user.
The number and order of the alarm/message texts in the selected languages
must be identical to those of the master language.
Once you have made the changes, you must then convert the text files and
transfer them to the PCU 20 (chapter 12).
Note
For the user, 128 KB are available for additional text files.
The files with the error texts are stored in the C:\dh\mb.dir\ directory on the hard
disk. The error text files intended for use are activated in file c:\mmc2\mbdde.ini.
