Terminal and Communication Setup

Publication 2706-817

Send Values at Power-Up

If this option is enabled, the terminal sends variable data to the
controller after power is cycled or the terminal is reset.

Note: This option is always enabled for Remote I/O
communications.

If the Send Values at Power-Up option is enabled, select one of the
radio buttons under the Values at Power-Up option:

Select

To

Preset Values

send the initial values set in the tags for the
variables.

Last Values

send the runtime values at the moment when the
terminal was reset or lost power.

If the Send Values at Power-Up option is disabled, the terminal
does not send any data to the controller at power-up.

The terminal operator can use the Front Panel Editor to change the
Values at Power-Up selection.

Note: The Send Values at Power-Up and Values at Power-Up
features are not supported in ASCII Trigger applications.

Enable Debug Mode

Debug Mode is used to check the application in a MessageView
terminal. In Debug Mode, as each message is triggered its message
number is displayed on the terminal instead of message text. If this
option is enabled, then the application will run in Debug Mode.

The terminal operator can use the Front Panel Editor to
enable/disable the Debug Mode.

Enable Simulate feature

The Simulate feature may be used to test an application in a
MessageView terminal. In this mode the terminal displays messages
but has no input from a controlling device. No communications error
messages appear on the display.

The terminal operator can use the Front Panel Editor to
enable/disable the Simulate feature.

When both Debug Mode and the Simulate feature are disabled, the
terminal runs the application in normal Run Mode.
