Return Message Number to PLC
If this option is enabled, the message number of the displayed
message is sent to the controller, provided its global Return Message
Number tag is defined. The controller may be a logic controller or an
ASCII Triggering device.
The three classes of messages may have Return Number tags:
•
messages with the Ack attribute enabled
•
messages with Function Keys enabled
•
messages of all other kinds.
Note: If the Return Message Number to PLC attribute is enabled,
then one or more of the three Return Number tags in the Control
Tags tab must be defined. See Page 10–21.
If the controller is an ASCII Triggering device, the Return Message
Number is sent back as part of the Ctrl-N message. See Page 5–12.
