Profi Message
l
Poll cycle
Sets the the time for cyclical querying of data. The current user is (re)-quer-
ied after this time has elapsed. The time must be long enough in relation to
the
Pause time and the number of channels (participants) or you will receive
an error message when closing the dialogue. The values entered will then not
be saved.
l
Timeout
Sets the maximum permissible time between a request and a response
before an error status is shown. In the event of an error, a "wire break"
status is displayed according to the number of timeouts set with
Produce
wire break after . Refer also to the table in Status monitoring . The time must
be short enough in relation to the time for the Poll cycle or you will receive an
error message when closing the dialogue. The values entered will then not be
saved.
l
Pause
Sets the waiting time for a query from more than one channel within a poll
cycle. The time must be short enough for all channels to be queried within
the time entered under
Poll cycle or you will receive an error message when
closing the dialogue. The values entered will then not be saved.
Poll string
Enter here a character string for all output channels which is to be output and
which prompts the user to send its data if this is required. If you require data from
several channels with different poll strings, do not enable the option here, but
enter instead the poll string separately for each relevant input channel.
Enter the string as text. ASCII characters that cannot be entered directly, e.g. car-
riage return (CR) or line feed (LF), can be entered using % and the ASCII value in
hexadecimal format: Enter CR as %0D and LF as %0A.
Termination
This setting applies to input and output channels for the interface and cannot be
changed for a specific channel. The entries for
termination symbol and trans-
mission pause are, however, used simultaneously. For example, an input message
is considered ended after either the Termination symbol and/or a pause larger
than the time given in transmission pause .
l
Termination symbol
One or more ASCII characters that indicate the end of a message. If the char-
acters cannot be sent, or if you do not enter any characters, the
transmission
pause will be used for end recognition.
Enter the characters as text. ASCII characters that cannot be entered dir-
ectly, e.g. carriage return (CR) or line feed (LF), can be entered using % and
the ASCII value in hexadecimal format: Enter CR as %0D and LF as %0A.
