Scroll message
This message attribute determines whether the message will scroll
across the DL40 Message Display. You can activate scrolling only if
the Line Usage attribute (described above) has been set to use a
single line. Select Yes to activate or No to deactivate.
Print message
If the Print message attribute is set to Yes, then the DL40 Message
Display will send any triggered message to a printer through the
DL40 RS-232 Port. The message is printed only once (even if the
Repeat Message Automatically attribute is active) unless the
message contains changed variable data. If new variable data is
received while the message is running, then the message is printed
again with the new data. Select Yes to activate or No to deactivate.
Send message to Slave (address) number
If you enter a slave number here and a message is triggered via the
Remote I/O or Parallel or Keyboard ports, the message will be sent
to the slave with the specified address. This attribute is valid for all
Run Modes. However, the slave address set when operating in the
Message/Variable/Slave Run Mode overrides this attribute.
Important: To send any message to a slave, Ports→RS-485
Port→Port Use must be set to DL Slaves.
If the Repeat message automatically attribute is active, the message
is sent to the slave each time it repeats. If the message has embedded
variables, it is sent to the slave each time new variable values are
received during the message wait time. Possible values for this field
include:
Entry: Which means:
0 Don’t send to slave
1 through 126
(addresses 13 & 18 are not valid) Send to the single identified
slave address
127 Send to all slaves
