4-28 Application Guide
• Message Trigger Address. The controller address that triggers a
message to display. This toggles between 0 and 1 in the
controller.
• Message Data Address. The starting address of the message data
displayed. The message data contains the trigger command that
the InView display recognizes (^T[message number]^M ).
• Message Array Size. The size of the array (16 to 80 characters for
DH485) containing the message data. The maximum array size is
dependent on the controller and must be an even integer.
• Variable Trigger Address. The controller address that triggers a
message variable to display. This toggles between 0 and 1 in the
controller.
• Variable Data Address. The starting address of the variable data
displayed. The variable data contains the update variable
command that the InView display recognizes (^V[variable
data]\[variable number]^M ).
• Variable Array Size. The size of the array (16 to 80 characters for
DH485) containing the variable data. The maximum array size is
dependent on the controller and must be an even integer.
The address tags are an Integer ( N ) data file. Both the Message
Trigger and Message Data addresses must fall entirely within a single
80 byte block, including the Message Data array size. You can choose
to use any Integer data file, but you cannot use more than one data
file. For example, a Message Trigger address of N7:0 and a Message
Data address of N9:0 is not valid. At the same time, a Message Trigger
address of N7:0 and a Message Data address of N7:35, with a Message
Data array size of 16, is not valid because the array falls outside of the
40 word (80 byte ) block.
EtherNet Communication
and Tag Setup Screens The InView message display can communicate with the following
controllers on an EtherNet/IP network. Be sure to set up the Ethernet
communication module serially using a 2706-NC13 cable before
hanging/mounting the unit. The Ethernet configuration must be set
before it can function on the network.
• PLC-5E controller or SLC 5/05 controller
• ControlLogix controller (with 1756-ENET/B or /ENBx module)
• MicroLogix controller, FlexLogix controller, CompactLogix
controller (with ENI module)
IMPORTANT
Variable Trigger and Variable Data addresses work
the same as Variable Array Size.
