Data Display String Format ± &XYYYYYZN

Use this setup string format to:

HSpecify one input, output, and/or register to include on the Auto-polling screen.

HSpecify the target ID of the Micro PLC that is the source of the data.

HSpecify how the data for that item should be displayed.

Enter a Data Display String for each data item to be displayed on the screen.

This string can be located anywhere in the first 21 lines of the screen. It is normally mixed with text to explain what the data is. Do not use commas in this string

The & character must start on the screen to the left of column 70, or there will not be room to display the resulting data.

Lower case R,I,Q,H,D,B are not allowed, caps must be used.

If you specify Input (I) or Output (Q) data, and hex (H) or decimal (D) format, the actual

Auto-polling screen will display 16 consecutive bits starting with the indicated reference.

Format:

&XYYYYYZN

N = target ID

Z = H for hexadecimal display

D for signed decimal display (±32766 to +32767)

B for binary (single bit) display ( 1 or 0)

Y = reference address of R, I, or Q (1 to 5 digits ± decimal)

X = R, I, or Q (registers, inputs, or outputs)

Example:

&I97B1

Micro PLC = target ID #1

B for binary (single bit) display 97 = reference address

I = Inputs
