Echo relay to slave
The Echo Relay to Slave attribute sends the energize or de-energize
relay commands to the DL50 slave addressed in the Send Message to
Slave Number attribute. These commands are sent in addition to any
specified message text.
After this attribute sends a relay command to the slave, the slave
relay will not de-energize until another message is sent to the slave
that meets both of the following conditions:
•
Energize Relay is set to No (to de-energize the relay)
•
Echo Relay to Slave is set to Yes (to send a de-energize command
to the slave display)
Acceptable values for this attribute include:
For DL10 or DL20 For DL50
No No
Yes
The factory setting for the Echo Relay to Slave attribute is No.

ATTENTION: Use the slave relay for annunciator
purposes only. Do not use it for control.
Note: This attribute is not available from the DL40 message display
onboard editor. It is only accessible through the Offline
Programming Software.
Notes
The attributes shown on the Message Attributes window are those
assigned to the message with the lowest message number currently in
the Message Picks list.
If Line Usage is other than All Lines, then the display line on the
DL40 does not necessarily correspond to the cursor row value shown
on the message editing window during editing.
To select a block of messages, move the cursor to the first message
on the block and press [CTRL][B] to mark the beginning of the
block. Then move the cursor to the last message in the block and
press
[
↵
] . The entire block will be moved to the opposite column.
The Slave Message Color, Slave Message Length, and Echo Relay to
Slave message attribute selections are only available through the
Offline Programming Software. You cannot change those attributes
with the DL40 Onboard
Editor.
