Embed Memory Address

Description

This dialog is used to Embed a Memory Address in the text message with several formatting options.  This dialog has two GUI designs.  One design is for the DS, DD, DH, XD, YD, TD, CTD and SD Memory Addresses and the other design is for the DF Memory Addresses.

• Type A: DS, DD, DH, XD, YD, TD, CTD and SD

• Type B: DF

Note: You can not Embed Bit memory addresses (X, Y, C, T, CT and SC) in the text message.

Setup

(Type A)

This Setup applies only for the DS, DD, DH, XD, YD, TD, CTD and SD Memory Addresses.

2  Display Format: Allows you to Set up how the data in the Memory Address is Embedded in the text message.

• Variable Digits: The data in the Memory Address is Embedded in the text message as it is.  The number of characters Embedded in the text message varies according to the data.

• Fixed Digits - Number of Digits: This is the minimum Number of characters to occupy in the text message.  If the actual data is longer than this setup, this setup is ignored and the entire data will be copied into the text message.
  
  The range of this option varies according to the memory type you select.

2a  Option: Allows you to select to Suppress the Zeroes or Not to Suppress the Zeroes.  Click to select the desired Option.

4  Expression: When the Memory Address is Embedded in the text message, one of the following Expression Symbols is attached to the Memory Address with a colon (e.g., DS1:V, DH100:L4.S).  This will help when checking the Format Setting in the ladder program.
