Theinfo descriptions are stored in STEP7 databases and are linked with those hex numbers to create a human description of the event when are displayed in Diagnostic Buffer etc. Where exactly do you want to display those messages?

For example ifan event message arrives in the PLC read SZL 0xA0 and store the EventID value into Tag1. Then in WinCC have a Static text with the text property dynamic/indirect to point toTag1. You can configure an Alarm message for Tag1 when value changes too. A different way to do this in WinCC is using raw tag RAW_S7CHN ReadSZL function. If you are curious how-to please see the quiz trend I started few weeks ago [:D] in WinCC Conference. Dec
