Installation and Specifications
You may program message numbers 1--160 to be used as dynamic messages. One
numeric field per line is allowed. Dynamic messages may be displayed on either the
top or bottom display lines. The maximum number of digits which may be displayed
is five if binary data format is used, four if BCD is used, and eight if BCD double is
used. The figure below demonstrates the OP--WINEDIT screens for programming a
dynamic message.
Enter the message text and place the caret (^) symbol(s) depending on the number
of digits you would like to display. The value range which may be displayed is
0--65,535 integer, 0--9999 BCD or 0--99999999 BCDD. Choose binary, BCD, or BCD
double format and fixed point decimal placement.
For dynamic messages which require fixed decimal point placement within the
value, you must use the OP--WINEDIT to perform parameter placement type. For
fixed position decimal points you must enter the decimal directly into the message
text, such as Zone1 Temp = ^^.^^.
For example, let’s say message #36 is “#
widgets sold: ^^^^”. Let’s also say that
465 widgets have been sold today. To
display the current number of widgets
sold on the bottom line of the display, you
would place 36 in register M+3 and 465 in
register M+10. The bottom line would
then display: “# widgets sold: 465”.
Example Message #36:
# widgets sold: 465
Place 36 in register M+3;
message is “# widgets sold: ^^^^”.
To display this, 465 must
be in register M+10.
Examples of dynamic messages. Notice
the caret (^) symbols, which is where data
will be when the message is displayed.
