Hi Prof. Frink, Thank you for answering again. Please look at the attached screenshots. Yes - I have found that list (again). But it is empty (2.jpg) - and does not contain the alarms I know will be displayed on the machine (1.jpg). The alarms is trigged from FC109 (3.jpg & 4.jpg).

Hello, Perhaps the following links might help: What should you watch out for when using the alarm numbering procedure? The Text libraries are integrated in de message text. (See online help of STEP 7 and search for Text Libraries) When you compile Step 7 and the WinCC flexible project. And after loading it to CPU and HMI it will be there. Message text are in Instance DB. Best regards, Wizard |

Hello Wizard, Thank you for answering again. Please see the attached screenshots. Yes - I believe the texts are in the PLC logic too. I know how to compile and download my HW config and my safety logic - but I don't recall compiling the non-safety logic in Simatic Manager? I also don´t know how I am supposed to compile the WinCC flexible project - we rarely change anything in the few projects we still have with this old software. So - how do I "compile Step 7 and the WinCC flexible project"? I was hoping that I did not have to modify anything in the panel as I have enough spare alarm lines in the current alarm list and I think the logic is also somewhat prepared in FC109. There are already instance DBs for ALM_1 to ALM_94 (for each instance of FB1105). But I don't see any alarm texts in these? How do I find the DB with the texts? We are planning to replace these panels with newer 7" panels programmed in TIA but for now we need to modify a few alarms. So - I was / am hoping I could just edit the Alarm List (under Text Libraries) and somehow download that to the PLC - but it seems to get more and more tricky?

Hi again Wizard, Than you for the patience. Please also look at the attached screenshots. Do I really need to change anything in the panel - as long as I only modify the 94 lines already created in the Alarm list (17.jpg)? IF I need to recompile the panel SW I just compile and download the whole project without making any changes first (17.jpg)? I struggle to see the text message for alarm 5 in the alarm list reflected in the texts on the alarm instance DB (14.jpg and 10.jpg - 13.jpg )? I cannot get into the part where I can select the item I want to compile and download (17.jpg). I am hoping I just need to compile and download the Alarm List (14.jpg) or do I need to include more? I am aware that I need to modify the logic to trigger the 2 spare alarms that I need to use now so I must download a modified FC109.
