Where do I modify my alarm texts

I have a series of machines that are equipped with some older flexpanels that are programmed in WinCC Flexible Advanced (under Simatic Manager).

For 2 of the emergency stops the Alarm texts have been switched so I need to switch them back.

Where in my WinCC Flexible Advanced editor can I find the alarm texts (IE NØDSTOP AKTIVERET PÅ HOVEDTAVLE) so I can do this job?

From where in my WinCC Flexible Advanced editor do I download the changes to the panel?

Hello xmnj,

I would have supposed to find it in Alarm Management > Discrete Alarms. But it doesn't show any trigger there.

Can you check the cross references for the E/Stop-tags (right mouse click on the tag) please.

By the way when there are orange fields in the tags list, you should reconnect the related tags (right mouse click on the tag, too).

Regards,

Frink

Hello Prof. Frink,

Thank you for answering.

 How do I check the cross reference - when I right click on the tag (see screenshot) I only get the the properties which I already showed in the original screenshots?

is it M16.0 and M16.1 I need to reconnect?

How do I download the modifications to the panel?

Hello, 

It seems that alarm text is made in Step 7 software.

To understand, please read the following link:

How do you display ALARM_S or ALARM_D messages with process values (so-called associated values) on a WinCC flexible operator panel?

see point # 3 "Create message text" to know where is the text is written in the Step7 program.

Hope this helps.

Hello Wizard,

Thank you for answering.

Yes - I found Cross Reference now - but dont think it shows me a lot about the location of the Alarm Texts.

Please see the screenshot from the Alarm Settings.

Hello,

Select the "whole" line, then right mouse click.

Then there will a possibility to use Cross Reference

@edit: What do you see by Alarm Settings?

Best regards

Hello Wizard,

Thank you for answering again.

Please see the attached screenshots.

I am glad to hear the alarm texts is in the S7 project - but how do I find them in the project?

I do not need to set this up but I need to switch two texts in the setup we have now.

Hello xmnj,

There is Alarm_S used. So the alarm texts are in your STEP 7 project.

@edit: Perhaps the following link might help:

Which configuration steps have to be taken in SIMOTION SCOUT and WinCC flexible to enable Alarm_S messages and technological alarms to be displayed in WinCC flexible Runtime?

Best regards,
