information message display you have created, or can be placed in any display in your
application.

For information about setting up the information message display graphic object, see
page 21-65.

What is shown

If the Value connection is unassigned, the information message graphic display never
opens automatically. If the operator opens a graphic display containing an information
message display object, the object is blank.

The Value connection is rounded up to the nearest integer. If the value does not match
any of the trigger values in the specified message file, the display is filled with
question marks (?).

For information about how values are rounded, see page 7-2.

If the message is too long to fit in the information message display object, the last
shown character is replaced with an asterisk (*).

When the Value connection’s value is 0, the information message graphic display is
closed.

If you set up information messages in multiple languages, messages are shown in the
current application language. When a language switch occurs, a message that was
already in the information message display remains in the language that it originally
appeared in. New messages are shown in the new language.
