7)
Number of End Delimiters:
Select the number of delimiters that will be added onto the end of
the ASCII string.

ASCII Concatenating (Optional):

before being written to the ASCII device. See the

Transmit Data
– Triggering Methods
There are 3 methods that determine when the message is ready to be transmitted:
1)
Change-Of-State
–
This means that when any of the data changes, the 460 will transmit a new
ASCII message with the new data.
2)
Cyclic
–
This means that every
x
ms a new ASCII message will be transmitted, regardless of
whether or not the data has changed.
3)
Trigger
–
This means that a trigger event determines when a new ASCII message will be
transmitted.
Some methods can co-exist with others. Here are the rules:
-
Change-Of-State is default and can only exist by itself. This method is chosen if the Transmit
Timeout field is left at 0 and the Trigger Variables (as described in
ASCII Configuration
–
ASCII Message Triggering Method
section of this manual) are not mapped.
-
Cyclic and Trigger can co-exist. For this to happen, the Transmit Timeout field needs be to
nonzero and the Trigger Variables (as described in
ASCII Configuration
–
ASCII Message
Triggering Method
section of this manual) are also mapped.
