11.13 "Messages" service

The "Messages" service may be used to edit the texts associated with PLC messages and errors. These files may also be displayed and edited (and thus translated into other languages) using any text editor.

Th e m e ss ag e a nd e rror files ar e s tore d in th e fold er : "C:\CNC8070\MTB\PLC\LANG"\<language>" corresponding to the language active at the CNC. To use messages and errors in other languages, copy the files to the folder of the desired language.

On CNC power-up, the messages and errors are loaded from the folder corresponding to the language active at the CNC.

Pressing the "Show" softkey access the service screen. To close the message window, press [ESC].

Description

This screen shows the messages (MSG) and errors (ERR) defined at the PLC. The screen shows the following table:

A BCD

A. Message or error identifier.

Number, between 1 and 256, that identifies the message (MSG) or the error (ERR). The numbering needs not be sequential.

B. Display of the additional information files.

It indicates whether to show or not the file for additional information when displaying the message. When it comes to errors, it cannot be edited.

C. Text of the message or error displayed for the user.

D. Address of the additional information file.

It may be a text file (*.txt), image file (*.bmp, *.jpg), a combination of both (*.htm, *.html) or a video (*.avi). When it comes to errors, it cannot be edited because they cannot be assigned an information file.
