Text file that contains the texts of system alarms. It must be inserted inside the CF/SD. If it is not defined the default texts (English) will be displayed.
NOTE: In the RDE installation director ETC/RTE/ALSYS subdirectory there are language translation files.
NOTE: For RTE handling of user and system alarm files, see chapter Alarms: user files in RTE configuration.
File structure
This is an ASCII format file in which texts are defined using the syntax nnnn "text", where:
•nnnn indicates the alarm number (entering this value with a negative sign disables the issuance of the alarm)
•text indicates text related to the alarm nnnn
•%d, %u, %x, %f, %g, %s indicates the type of any parameters that are displayed in the descriptive text. The first parameter in the string is equivalent to parameter 1, the second to parameter 2, and the third to parameter 3
From RTE 34.24.6, the possibility has been added to define the parameter number in the alarm text regardless of position. It is defined by placing after the % character the parameter number (1, 2, 3) followed by the $ character.
In case of system alarms the order of parameters is as described in natural language alarms.
NOTE: It is not possible to define in the same alarm some parameters with positional order and others without.
Example
;Alarm 640 is defined as follows (in natural language): "640 %s Fan velocity fault FFM:0x%x" ;From RTE 34.24.6 it is then equivalent to: "640 %1$s Fan velocity fault FFM:0x%2$x" ;It is possible to redefine it as, for example: "640 Fan velocity fault. Mask: 0x%2$x, drive: %1$s" ;At the time such an alarm is received on fan 1 from drive EC2A, ;with the standard definition the alarm will be displayed: "640 EC2A Fan velocity fault FFM:0x1" ;While with the modified definition the alarm will be displayed: "640 Fan velocity fault. Mask: 0x1, drive: EC2A" ;Before RTE 34.24.6 this was not possible, ;parameter 2 was seen as parameter 1 since it was first inside the text |
Example
; file alarms_ita.txt loaded in /FA/ 1 "Lost content user logs" 2 "Lost content parameter logs" 5 "Lost alarm history content" ;In this case the texts to be displayed at alarms 1, 2 and 5 were defined |
