Creating Message Displays

Publication 2711-6.0

The 3 types of data that can trigger a message to display are:

Single Bit

Least Significant Bit

Value

Single Bit

Single Bit is valid only for 2-state message displays. The display is
controlled by the status of a single bit. Turning the tag address bit on
or off toggles the display between message 0 and message 1.

Least Significant Bit

When Least Significant Bit is selected, the terminal displays the
message corresponding to the Least Significant Bit (LSB) at the tag
address data words (0 to 1,999 bits). More than one bit may be set at
the tag address allowing messages to display in a priority sequence
(message 0 displays when bit 0 is ON, message 1 displays when bit 1
is ON, ..., message 1,999 displays when bit 1,999 is ON.)

An error state occurs when all bits are OFF (low). The message
defined for the error state (State E) displays, if defined. The default
message is “Error”.

The controller must clear the last bit displayed. The next time the
terminal reads the tag address, the message corresponding to the next
least significant bit is displayed. The following example shows what
happens if bits 1 and 24 are set at tag address N7:2.

Value

When Value is selected, the controller triggers a message when the
tag address contains a specific value. The message is displayed until
the value at the tag address is changed.
