No special knowledge is needed to enter or edit messages. However, since
the Dataliner message display must be connected to peripheral equipment,
we assume you are familiar with communication terminology, especially
when using the Remote I/O version with a PLC.
The following conventions are used in this manual:
•
All menus and screens reproduced in this manual are approximate
renderings of what you will see on your terminal screen. Allen-Bradley
reserves the right to make minor modifications to any menu or screen to
help improve performance.
•
A symbol or word in brackets represents a single key that you press.
These include keys such as
[A] or [Del] . Since the Dataliner can be
programmed with a variety of keyboards or terminals, the printing on
your keyboard may be different from the symbol or word indicated in
brackets. This manual uses
↵
to specify the carriage return function of a
keyboard. On your keyboard this may correspond to an [ENTER] ,
↵
, or
[Rtrn] key.
•
The up caret, ^ , may be used in place of the [CTRL] where space
requires. For example, ^ W means the same as [CTRL][W] . This means
you should press [CTRL] and [W] keys simultaneously.
•
In the following chapters we will refer to the Dataliner DL40 Series
Message Display as the DL40.
