Using the Onboard Editor to Create Messages 2–12
Publication 2706-6.1
AutoClear
Activating this attribute tells the DL40 Plus to clear the message
from the display after the Wait Time for the message has expired,
even if no other messages are triggered.
This value applies only to the lines used by a single message. For
example, if this message uses line 2 only, then line 2 is cleared. Lines
1, 3 and 4 remain unchanged.
Important: AutoClear de-energizes the alarm relay only if the
message cleared had energized the relay. A DL40 Plus
slave or DL50 slave message display must always be
sent a message that de-energizes the relay.

AutoRepeat
This attribute causes the display to repeat a message continually until
another message is available in the queue to run. AutoRepeat only
functions if the DL40 Plus is operating in Message/Variable/Slave or
Message/Variable Run mode.
This attribute is useful when you need to update variables repeatedly
within a message.
Type [Y][
↵ ] to activate or [N][
↵
] to deactivate.
Chain to Message
This attribute lets you link two messages together so that the second
message runs automatically after the Wait Time
has expired. The
second message requires no additional triggering and no special
modification of its attributes to respond. Also, the link is independent
of the second message, which means that the second message can
also run independently under other circumstances.
The second message has its own attributes, which may be different
from those of the first message. There is no limit to the number of
messages that can be chained together, and messages can be chained
to Special Messages.
Note: If AutoRepeat is active, the Chain to Message attribute is
disabled
Activate this attribute by entering a valid message number.
