User-defined messages can be added in addition to the status messages
defined for the PLC controller. For this purpose, the allocated bit in the re-
sponsible data word (data module 255) in the PLC program must be set
to 1
bin
. The message text is entered in the message list, beginning with
number 17.
If the event occurs in the controller, and the corresponding bit is set, the
message text is allocated via the message number, and then displayed
(see also technical manual).
Starting from the Edit masks menu bar, the Messages menu containing
the Edit messages command is opened.
