Send to Slave
If you enter a slave address number, the message is sent to the slave
each time it is triggered. However, in Message/Variable/Slave mode,
a slave address sent with the message trigger overrides this attribute.
Important: To send any message to a slave, Port Use for the
RS-232 or RS-485 port must be set to DL Slave.
If the AutoRepeat 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 Send to the single identified slave address
127 Send to all slaves
Invalid slave numbers are 4, 6, 7, 13, 18, 20, 22, 43, 45, 48–57. The
DL40 Plus will not accept any of these numbers.
Wait Time
This setting means one of two things to the DL40 Plus display.
•
If you activated Scroll message, the value here represents the
scrolling rate in tenths of a second. For example, a value of 8
results in the display of the next new character in a message every
0.8 seconds.
•
If Scroll message is not active, then the value here represents the
number of seconds a message appears on the message display.
For example, a value of 5 assures that the message will appear on
screen for 5 seconds whenever it runs.
Acceptable values for this field can range from 0 through 31.
