What Is Messaging?
Messaging lets you get and modify SCANport device parameters as
well as providing access to other internal SCANport–related
information or services. To use messaging, you need to configure
the M file mechanism of the SLC processor. The M file mechanism
is covered later in this chapter. Appendix B, SCANport Messaging,
provides examples of SCANport messages.
To configure the SLC to SCANport module for enhanced mode
using the Advanced Programming Software (APS), you need to:
1. Create a file.
2. Enter a file name. For example purposes, we are using SM1_AP2
as the file name.
3. Highlight the processor as shown in Figure 4.1.

Highlight the processor
you want to use. For
example, 1747–L532.
4. Press the F2 key.
5. Depending on your processor and version of APS, you may be
asked to enter the operating system that your processor uses.
