Create the Message File
A background message of Rockwell Automation is automatically
created. This is also indicated by the letter B in the message list below
the message creation box. Message number 1 is highlighted and ready
for creation. Create a message by typing in the message box.
Attributes for the messages can be changed or added using the pull
down menus located above the message creation box or from the
toolbar. Once message number 1 has been created, select the down
arrow or type 2 in the box and select the Goto button. This allows
message number 2 to be created.
There is a size displayed in the lower right of the window. This is the
size of the message that is being created. This number starts from 11
and increases to a maximum number that is determined by setting the
partition size in software. This is based on a total of 200,000 bytes.
The smaller the partition size the more messages are available. The
limits are 450 bytes per message, 444 messages minimum to 50 bytes
per message, 4000 messages maximum. To change the partition size,
select File then Partition.
See the following sections for more information regarding the
message attributes.
