Alarm numbers that do not already exist in the standard texts are added.

Editor
Any ASCII editor (e.g., the DOS editor edit) can be used for editing files. When
editing the text files with a different editor, make sure that they are then saved in
ASCII format.
Note
Changes in alarm texts do not take effect until the HMI is started up again. When
creating text files, make sure that the correct date and time are set on the PC.
Otherwise, the user texts may not appear on the screen.
Help on alarms
