Send Message to Slave Address Selected as a Message Attribute

To send a message to a slave, Port Use of the RS-485 or RS–232 port
must be set to DL Slaves.

If the message’s Print attribute is set, the message will be printed
once for each time it is displayed or redisplayed. Set the Port Use for
the RS–232 port to Printer.

In the Message List Run Mode, messages are continually being
displayed by the DL40 Plus. Messages can be added to or deleted
from the message list while the list is running. In addition, Priority
Message Numbers can be sent to override the message list.

In Message List Run mode, the 4 strobe lines specify an instruction
to be performed.
