3.1 Variable Definition

the definition line.
When a message is called up, the variables are

3.2 Message Texts with Filler Characters for Variables
Blocks of filler characters are separated by any
characters except "." and ",".
If the maximum number of 8 variables is used
per message text, they can no longer be
displayed on a two-line display at once. To
allow input, the message image is not
automatically scrolled (scroll time), if input
variables are programmed in a message. The
lines are displayed in such a way that the input
3.3 Function Key Reset
The line with the character "@" separates the
message text from the assigned info text. Up to
8 function key numbers can be specified in this

3.4 Info Texts

In addition to every message and menu text, an
info text can be programmed. The red LED

automatically read from the PLC and replace
the filler characters holding the place for the
variables.
Every variable is assigned to one block of filler
characters. This block determines the number
of variable digits (displayed).
The variables are defined line by line
and displayed in the message text in that order.
In the message text, every group of connected (_)
underlines represents filler characters holding the
place for a variable.
cursor is visible. An input variable must
therefore be inserted in at least every second
line.
If scaled variables are used, one line is required
to specify the scaling range. This reduces the
maximum number of variables by one each.
Specifying an index register for variables or
input limits also reduces the possible number of
variables by one.
function keys are programmed as bistable
(latch-down) keys and are currently set, they
are reset by pressing the Enter-key if the input
has been carried out correctly (range check).
