Displaying Messages

Message archive
All message events are written in the message archive in chronological order.
Message events are the arrival, clearing and acknowledgment of a message. A
maximum of 512 message events can be stored in the Touch Panel message ar-
chive. Every message event is stored with the following information:
If a message contains process values, the values stored in the message archive
are those which were available when the message event arrived or has been
cleared. The Touch Panel does not record any current process values for the
Acknowledged message status. The value is replaced by ### characters. Fi-
gure 6-2 shows the structure of the message archive.
