8 Unit Functions
8.1 Message library
The [Message library] function enables you to create text tables where values between
0 and 65535 are linked with texts. The [Message library] function is used among others
to display each sequence in a sequence control. The function can also be used to
display error codes. An analog signal creates error codes that are linked with texts in a
text block. The function is also used for assigning specific values to analog signals
depending on the selected text.
The message library consists of one or several text tables with up to 512 text character
strings. Each text string can have up to 40 characters. Activate this option under [Functions]
/ [Message library].
Parameter Description

Name Define a name for the message library.
You can edit a message library by selecting the library and clicking [Edit]. Several edit
windows can be opened at the same time.
Parameter Description
Text no. Enter a number for the text (0 - 65535).
Text Any text that is called once the current signal shows the text
