Structure of the text files acc. to LAN1, LAN2
The syntactic structure of files specified with LAN1/LAN2 is the same as that of
alarm texts (see Section 7.1).
Note
This mechanism is not compatible with the HMI language concept. It is merely
used for the online creation of language-dependent texts (text phase). As soon as
the user screens have been created their contents must be copied to the relevant
(ALUC.TXT).
LAN1=File
File Language-dependent file containing the texts for the foreground
language (1
LAN2=File
File Language-dependent file containing the texts for the background
language (2
If parameters LAN1/LAN2 are assigned, then the system looks for language-
dependent texts in these files first before searching through the cycle alarm texts.
The contents of the files specified by LAN1/LAN2 matches the format of the alarm
texts (see "General information about configuring environment").
The file names can be freely selected as part of the supplementary conditions
according to Section 1.3. COM is the file extension. These text files allow texts to
be created directly in online operation, which can then be displayed directly in
screen forms created online.
The text files are defined with DOS notation (e.g., LAN1=my_text.com).
If LAN1/LAN2 is specified in COMMON.COM, the associated text files are
searched for in the following sequence:
1. User cycles directory
2. Manufacturer cycles directory
3. Standard cycles directory
4. Comment directory
5. Current directory on the HMI
If LAN1/LAN2 is not specified, the search is performed in the user cycle alarm texts
(ALUC) and in the standard cycle alarm texts (ALSC) only.
Once the screens have been created the text files specified in LAN1/LAN2 must be
read out of the NC and integrated in ALUC.TXT / ALSC.TXT. Before normal
operation starts entries LAN1/LAN2 must either be removed or marked as a
comment.
Note
To simplify the configuring process on the HMI, HT6, a further text file named
SPT.COM (temporary alarm text file) is provided, allowing texts to be loaded for
$8xxxx. This file is needed to avoid having to create file ALUC_xx.COM in the
EPROM during trial runs.
