Displaying Local Messages
In a Local Message , the fi rst message ( root level) or folder in the hierarchy
is displayed on the top line at start up and the following message or folder is
displayed on the second line.
A plus (+) is displayed in front of a folder’s or subfolder’s name if it is closed.
If a folder or subfolder is open, a minus (–) is placed in front of the name. Any
messages within that folder will be displayed below it.
+Local Folder 1
+Local Folder 2

Local Folder 2
Local Message 2.1
Therefore, a folder is limited to 19 characters after the + or -, a message allows
20 characters. (The EZSeries Set Point Display Text Panel Programming
Software only allows 19 characters for folder text when you are confi guring
the Local Messages.)
You may use the UP/DOWN Arrow buttons to scroll down to the next message
in that folder. At the end of the messages for that folder, you can press the esc
button to move to the previous folder or level.
The Local Message menu hierarchy can only extend three levels deep (after
the root level) but each folder (level 1 and level 2) may have many subfolders
or messages on that level. Folder level 3 may have many messages, but no
folders. Messages can contain up to three embedded data values. See the
following examples of a menu tree and how it may appear from within the
EZSeries Set Point Display Text Panel Programming Software and how it may
appear on your display.
