If you change languages, all the text using the Text Table changes.
The text registered in the Text Table can be used for the following features.
Text
Switch Lamp Part Label
Alarm Part Item Name
Messages to register in a Message Display [Direct Input]
Alarm Messages to register in the Common [Alarm]
If Multilanguage display is specified for the text, changing the language also changes the text in messages [Text Display] and [Text Alarm] parts.
You cannot change the text in the Data Display [Text Display]. Nor can you use changing language to change item names and text that display on a Sampling Data Display or Special Data Display.
Multiple text tables cannot display at the same time.
After changing language, the screen displayed before the change may not appear.
The language change feature works the same as the screen change feature. When you set a switch with the [Group with Auto OFF] setting, the bit will automatically turn OFF when the language changes.
Text of a language different from the set language cannot be displayed properly. Enter text in the Text Table using the same language as the language setting. When text is not displayed properly, the text will be displayed differently depending on the language setting or string. In addition, even if the same string is used, it may be displayed differently depending on a part or GP-PRO EX and display unit.
When you set [Enable Text Table] in [Alarm], the existing messages are deleted.
When registering Alarm Messages, Direct Input text and Text registered in a Text Table are set to all Alarms (Banner, Alarm History, Summary). Direct Input text and Text registered on a Text Table cannot display at the same time.
If the [Message Display Method] in the [Alarm] dialog box's [Basic] tab is set to [1 line display], even when multiple lines are selected, only the first line will be displayed and printed.
When [Message Display Method] is set to [Multiple line display], up to 5 lines (the maximum number of alarm message display lines) will be displayed according to the text table settings.
Alarm History and Summary
When setting an Alarm History Switch on the Alarm Part's [Switch] tab, you cannot use a Text Table for the label. If you want to change languages for an Alarm History Switch, use a Switch Lamp part's Special Switch.
10.15.4.1 Special Switch - Switch Features
When you change a text table, the screen displays the initial state (the display state immediately after a screen change). Accordingly, any scroll movement or displayed Sub Screens is canceled when the text table changes.
For example:
Do not change the Text Table (Language) while saving the Alarm History onto an external storage. If you do so, the file may not be displayed properly in a third-party software product, such as a spreadsheet.
Also, the text in a different language will be output in the CSV File. Do not change the text table language while printing an Alarm History. If the text table language is changed the printout may contain gaps.
When saving in CSV or when printing an Alarm History, item names such as "Date" and "Trigger" are displayed in Japanese if the language of the Alarm Message (Text Table) is in Japanese. They are displayed in English if the Alarm Message is in another language (ASCII, Korean, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Russian (Cyrillic), and Thai).
Banner
If the text table language is changed while an alarm message is scrolling, the language changes at the start of the next message.
