15 Configuration
The following chapters describe the configuration options in the system.
15.1 Configuration of the message system
The message system is used to inform the user about processes in the con-
trol, which either can no longer guarantee a correct function or signal impor-
tant status changes in the control process.
The message editor is opened in the project tree via Message Editor.
15.1.1 Message Editor
Proprietary messages can be created and edited in this editor. These mes-
sages can be displayed in the message monitor.
Fig.15-28: Message Editor
Messages can be created via "Add" or deleted via "Remove". When creating
a new message, a component ID and message ID are allocated automati-
cally, which can be manually changed later. Each message is identified by a
unique combination of component ID and message ID, therefore, each com-
bination must only exist exactly once.
The behavior of the messages is specified via the two pulldown menus
"Storage" and "Interaction".
Information
● Only component IDs between 100 and 999 may be created.
● Only Message IDs equal 1 or greater may be created.
Component ID
Unique number for a functional component from the control application. This
number is entered when the message is created and must be stated when
calling SetMessage in the application program.
