● Include value
If you enable the option, the CP sends a value for the placeholder $$ from the memory
area of the CPU in the message. To do this enter "$$" as a placeholder for the value to
be sent in the message text.
Select a PLC tag whose value will be integrated in the message. The value is entered in
the message text instead of the placeholder $$.
$$ can be a placeholder for data point types with a simple data type up to a size of 32
bits.
Note that with the value the number of characters increases. For the maximum number of
characters, refer to the section Performance data and configuration limits (Page 22).
● PLC tag for value
