Data Display String Format – &XYYYYYZN
Use this setup string format to:
Specify one input, output, and/or register to include on the Auto-polling screen.
Specify the target ID of the Micro PLC that is the source of the data.
Specify 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
