4–29 Creating Message Files
Publication 2706-6.2
Send message to the stack
When a message is triggered, enabling this attribute places the
message number along with any variables on the Historical Events
Stack. Stacked messages can also be time stamped with the time the
message was triggered and/or run.
Important: Even if AutoRepeat is enabled, the message number
(and time) is placed on the Historical Events Stack only once each
time the message is triggered and/or run rather than each time it
repeats.
The message number, variables, and time (if applicable) is
placed on the Historical Events Stack while the message is running
or repeating only when updates to variables are received by the
DL40.
For more information on the Historical Events Stack and time
stamping, refer to the DL40 Plus user manual (Publication 2706-6.1).
Select Yes to activate or No to deactivate.
Send message time to the stack
Enabling this attribute allows for time and date stamping of
messages sent to the Historical Events Stack.
Select Yes to activate or No to deactivate.
Hide message on display
When activated, the message does not appear on the DL40 Plus, but
is sent to a slave display, printer, tape recorder, or placed on the
Historical Events Stack. The other attribute settings for the message
determine its destination(s).
For example, assume Hide Message On Display is enabled, as are
Print Message and Send Message
to Slave Number 2. There will be
no change on the DL40 display when the message runs, although a
copy of the message will be printed and it will be displayed on the
slave addressed as 2.
Note: When used with [CTRL][X] (ASCII Input Data), the
underscore prompt for this data will still be displayed on the DL40
message display even when Hide Message On Display is active.
Select Yes to activate or No to deactivate.
Acknowledge message
Enabling this attribute instructs the DL40 message display to hold
the message until you press the [MSG ACK
] button on the front of
the DL40 display. The next message is displayed only after the
[MSG ACK
] button has been pressed.
