Cancel Import
Continue
Choose Cancel Import or Continue. If you choose to continue,
PanelBuilder checks each record in the message file to make sure its
format is valid. If any errors are found, an error message will be displayed,
the import will be cancelled and the messages in the current file will
remain intact.
If no errors are found, all the local messages in the application file will be
deleted and replaced by the imported ones.
Exporting Local Message Text
Choose Export Message Text from the Messages menu. The Export
Message Text window will open.
When the window opens, the Select File field will show the name of the
application file currently being edited. You can use the default or change
the name to any valid DOS file name. PanelBuilder appends the .LMG
extension when it saves the file.
Address Assignment and PLC Message Triggering
Which data type you select determines how the PLC controller triggers
messages.
Triggering Messages for the Binary or BCD Data Type
To trigger a message, the PLC controller must put a non-zero value which
corresponds to the desired message number into the designated PLC
address. For example a trigger value of 19 would cause message 19 from
the Local Message Display List to appear in the display. If the trigger value
changed to 27 message 27 would appear, replacing message 19. The
window is cleared when the trigger value is 0.
