11.5 Customizing Alarm Messages
This section describes how to customize the alarm messages to be displayed
on a screen.
An alarm message can be customized by describing the alarm number and
corresponding message in the alarm message setting file.
When an alarm condition occurs, its alarm number and alarm message are
displayed if they are described in the setting file.
If this description is not contained in the setting file, an alarm message
obtained from the CNC is displayed.
The names and types of the alarm message setting files are as follows:
