External text variables
The device can receive external texts (text variables) via an interface; the texts are used for batch re-
porting. The external text variables can also be written by a barcode scanner (see chapter 11.4.2 "Texts
and process values", Page 276).

Reset signal
With the reset signal it is possible, for example, to delete texts displayed in a batch mask within a process
screen. Please note as a general rule that the text must not be deleted until batch recording is complete,
otherwise it will not be transferred to the batch report.
NOTE!
In addition to the texts for batch reporting, additional texts can be transferred to the device via an inter-
face; they are used as event texts (one text per group).
NOTE!
Separate Modbus addresses are available for external text variables and external event texts, which can
be transferred as short texts or long texts.
If both Modbus addresses of a variable are used, the value of the variable is overwritten in each case.
The user has to make sure that a variable is not overwritten unintentionally.
