Spaceholders for Variables

The spaceholder is replaced by the variable at printout.
You must specify the variables in bytes 2 to 7 in the "Print message text" request:
• Byte 2 and 3 :
• Byte 4 and 5 :
• Byte 6 and 7 :
The first spaceholder configured for variables in the message text is replaced by the variable 1, the
second by variable 2 and the third by variable 3.
Note:
• If the message text contains more than three spaceholders for variables, they are not
interpreted as spaceholders but printed out as text.
• If a spaceholder is wrongly configured, it is also treated as text and printed out.
• When spaceholders are replaced by the appropriate values, the total length may be greater
than 136 characters.
You must specify the data format in which the variable has been transferred from the CPU as the
spaceholder.
