Display magazine names in the HMI tool management screens
The language-specific names of the magazines are displayed in all the tool management
screens and the tool management start-up screens. If there are no entries are the
corresponding INI files, the standard names from the NCK (in the tool management) or from
the tool database (in the startup tool) are displayed.
Affected screens/functions:
● Tool management:
– Magazine list
– Magazine selection
● Tool management startup:
– Magazines
– Buffer
– Loading locations
– Magazine configuration
6.3.2 Language-specific names for buffers
Function
The buffer locations and their names are entered by the user via the tool management
startup tool (IW) in the Buffers screen. This is why the names are specified in the tool
management database and not in a language DLL. In previous versions, this meant that they
were not available in different languages.
Until now two options were available for displaying the buffer locations in the tool
management (not tool management start-up):
● Display names from the tool database (paramtm.ini, [TMMODES]
NameOfBufferPlaceFrom=DB)
● Display the type of buffer location from the language DLL plus the associated index. In
other words, for example, Spindle1, Spindle2 or Gripper2, etc.
(NameOfBufferPlaceFrom=DLL)
The new functionality allows the user to create the buffer location names in different
languages/locales.
For this display it is necessary to select Display name from the database
(NameOfBufferPlace From=DB).
The user must enter a corresponding name text in the language-specific tool management
INI files for each buffer location configured in the database.
There are two names for each buffer location: The standard name which is used for internal
processing (tool database) and an associated language-specific name which is displayed on
the operator interface.
If the user does not assign a language-specific name, the standard name from the database
is displayed (as was the case up to now).
