This section shows how to send binary/BCD variables in
Message/Variable/Slave or Message/Variable Run modes using Open
protocol.
Triggering messages with embedded variables is a 2 step process.
Send
[ CTRL] [ T ] followed by [ CTRL ][ V ] .
To enter variable data in [CTRL][V] callouts, use the following
format:
Data Acceptable Values
Variable Data
1 to 5 ASCII digits with an optional leading plus or minus sign
( + or – ). Data is for the latest message sent to the specified
DL40 Plus.
Variable Position
1 or 2 ASCII digits that specify the position of the variable within
the message (1 through 10)
DL40 Plus Address
1 to 3 digits (0 to 127)
127 = all DL40 Plus on RS-485/RS–232 link
