syntax – MS,“”returns to the initial runtime display MSn,“”

MS allows messages to be displayed on the keypad’s display. Messages are usually to prompt for operator input, display function key prompts, or as a diagnostic tool.

MS,“”can be used to restore the initial axis position and I/O display during program execution. MSn,“”clears the display from the n th character to the end of message. MSn,“user text” prints user text beginning at the n th character. MSn,(variable) writes the value of the variable beginning at the n th character. These variations to MS all disable the initial position and I/O display until program execution stops. MS,“”can be used to restore the initial axis position and I/O display during program execution.

Examples:

 

MS1,“”

Clears the Display.

MS3,“Part Count”

Writes string beginning at character 3, top line.

MS27,(COUNT)

Displays the value of the variable (COUNT), beginning at position number

 

27 (7th character, 2nd row).

This keypad programming template shows the relationship of the each character position to the location of the function keys. This will help you align messages on the display. A larger version is located in the back of this manual and can be photo copied for programming use.
