Configuring Activation of Warnings | Siemens C79000-G8976-C156-07

12 Station Configuration Editor Tool

Configuring Activation of Warnings

When warnings are enabled, a new event in the diagnostic buffer causes a display in the station manager ICON in the system tray. Whether a warning is indicated depends on the set warning level.

Here, you can configure the warning activation (yellow ! character) over the Station Manager icon in the system tray of the taskbar. The following settings are possible:

SActivate warnings on or off

SSelect warning activation depending on the weighting of the error:

-When errors and important errors occur

or

- Only when important errors occur.

Default setting: Only when important errors occur.

Accept Partial Loading

If the “accept partial loading” property is activated, the Station Manager also accepts defined configurations that contain only part of the configuration visible in the Station Configuration Editor.

The components (modules and applications) that do not receive an engineered configuration are fully deleted if you download only part of the configuration (engineered configuration is lost). These are, however, retained in the configuration of the station manager (with the appropriate status displayed: Component does not exist or is not configured in the current PC station configuration).

Default setting : Accept partial load.
