Step 4: Download the project to the controller
To update the controller with additional alarm messages in the new languages,
download the project to the controller.
Next, either continue setting up tag-based alarm messages, or set up a graphic display
for language switching. See “Add buttons to a graphic display to switch languages
at run time” on page 153.
Translating alarm messages using RSLogix 5000 v. 17 or later
To translate alarm strings in RSLogix 5000 v. 17 and later, use the project
documentation import and export feature. Only the information that is necessary for
localization is included in the exported file.
Step 1: Export alarm messages from RSLogix 5000
1. Start RSLogix 5000 v. 17 and open the West_Plant_Controller project you created
in Chapter 3, “Define device-based alarms in Logix5000 controllers”. If you have
not created the project, do so before continuing.
2. Open the Project Documentation Language dialog box, click the Documentation
Language Configuration icon or click Documentation Languages on the Tools
menu.
3. To associate the existing product documentation with a language, select a
language from the Select a language list or click Custom and then add a custom
language. For example, select English (United States) from the list and then click
OK.
