filename

Name of the file that contains the alarm texts (including the path where it is located on the flashcard)

Diagnostics

File open error is reported if either it does not exist or there is not enough memory or the file contents are incorrect

nnnn

User alarm number:

•major: 1000-:-1999

•minor: 3000-:-3999

•warnings: 4000-:-8999

•messages: 10000-:-11999

iAM

AM variable index to be used:

•-1 Axis alarm, the axis number will be used as the index of AM (1÷32). If you do not want the alarm to also be stored in the AMs put index -1 in the next parameter (iB).

•0 Used necessarily in the case of messages

•37÷40 Major user alarms (1000÷1999)

•45÷48 Minor user alarms (3000÷3999)

•53÷63 User warnings (4000÷8999)

iB

Selection of the bit associated with the alarm:

•-1 Disables alarm storage within AM. Also used necessarily in the case of messages

•0÷9 If iAM=-1 (i.e., axis alarm) Bits reserved for system for major alarms (stored as such in ax_in_alarm parameter). If iAM<>-1 Bits available to user

•10÷15 If iAM=-1 (i.e., axis alarm) Bits reserved for user for major alarms (stored as such in ax_in_alarm parameter). If iAM<>-1 Bits available to user

•16÷23 If iAM=-1 (i.e., axis alarm) Bits reserved for minor axis alarms. If iAM<>-1 Bits available to user

•24÷31 If iAM=-1 (i.e. axis alarm) Bits reserved for warnings (warnings). If iAM<>-1 Bits at user disposal

flags

Descriptive mask of alarm or message type (for exclusive use of alarm history). For meaning of individual bits refer to documentation of predefined variable ah_filter)

text

Alarm or message text. Maximum size is 60 characters; up to three variables can be specified for display (see instruction R3 alarm_set).

Codes to identify variables are as follows:

•%d Integer variable signed - Decimal representation

•%u Integer variable unsigned - Decimal representation

•%x Integer variable - Hexadecimal representation

•%f Real variable

•%g Real variable

•%s String variable. In this case, if the string is a tabstr type, the construct must be added to the file:

TABSTR_USER n ; maximum number of elements in the table.

"string 1" ; this is index 0

"string 2" ; this is index 1

"string n" ; this is index n-1

ENDTAB

Refer to the str_format instruction specification for more information regarding the formalism
