When the object is assigned to an alarm group and is located below the Alarm Configuration object, CODESYS adds the texts of the alarm group to the table. You can also add texts.

ID

Unique identifier of the text

Default

Source text as string (example: Information A: %i options). Use the Ctrl + Enter shortcut to add a line break.

Double-click in the field to edit the text.

You can add as many language columns to the table as you want. A language column is named with a language code which you already specified when creating the column with the Insert Language command.

<language code>

Name of the language as a language code. Example: en-US. This column contains the translation of the text which is composed in Default. Under the condition that the language code is selected as the language in the Visualization Manager, a visualization displays the translated text in runtime mode. If a translation has not been composed, then CODESYS uses the text in Default. A visualization in runtime mode can also change the language if requested by a user.
