Configuring alarm texts

The OPC UA Configurator enables the (multilingual) management of alarm texts that are used, for example, with Alarms and Conditions. The configuration of the alarm texts takes place in the Resources facet. Each alarm text is identified by a unique ID. Multiple language texts can then be assigned to this ID.

You can create so-called Resource Items using the context menu command Add new Resource Item.

You add new Language Items to a Resource Item using the command Add new Language Item in the context menu of a Resource Item.

You can further parameterize a Language Item, e.g. the language text and the assigned language, in the properties window. When you define the language, the associated LocaleID is automatically set. The LocaleID is requested by the OPC UA Client to indicate in which language it expects alarm texts.
