13.2 Configuring alarm and message texts via alarm text files

Registering the alarm attribute file

The alarm attribute file with the color definitions must be registered in order that the alarm

colors can be assigned to the alarms during the program runtime:

1. You can copy a sample configuration file "oem_slaesvcconf.xml" from the following

directory: /siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/cfg

2. Save or create the file in the /oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg or

/user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg directory.

3. Name the file "slaesvcconf.xml".

4. Open the file and in the <DataBases> tag enter, for example, the file name of the alarm

attribute file without language code and file extension, e.g. "muster_slaedatabase", as

"value". The registration of your alarm attribute file starts, for example, with the name

"OEM_DataBase_01".

The names of the <DataBases> tag can be freely selected. They must be unique in the

system and must not clash with names used by Siemens.

The "Siemens_DataBase_01" name is reserved for Siemens.

If you register additional alarm attribute files, i.e. you wish to include them in the

configuration file, use names such as "OEM_DataBase_02", "OEM_DataBase_03", etc.

Restart SINUMERIK Operate

The files still have to be converted into a binary format in order that the alarm colors become

effective during the program runtime. This data is only converted during power up.

To do this, restart SINUMERIK Operate. A file with the same name is created with the ".hmi"

file extension, e.g. "sample_slaedatabase.hmi" in the same directory in which the alarm

attribute file is also located.

The result of the conversion is written to the file "oem_ae_database_conversion.log". This file

is located in the "/user/sinumerik/hmi/log" directory.

The conversion is only carried out if the XML file is newer than the associated hmi file.
