Evaluation and display on the OP2
no
no
Message is not administered.
yes
no
The prefix is evaluated as message class. If the
message class is permissible, the message is
administered (stored) in the prefix/suffix format.
no
yes
Messages without prefix/suffix, with text, are always
administered in the OP2.
yes
yes
Prefix is evaluated as message class. If it is valid, the
message is administered (stored) in the text format.
If process data (with dimensions) is included in a message, then the OP2
„cuts“ the message text after 28 characters if it is longer (independent as to
whether a dimension is available or not). The message text may be up to 56
characters long if there is no process data.
If the message text is shorter than the maximum length, then the remaining
characters are filled with „blanks“; i. e. the display stays „dark“ at these
positions. Thus, the following message format is provided at the display
(2x40 characters) (d=day, m=month or minutes, y=year, h=hours,
z=milliseconds, T=message type (warning, fault etc.):
1) Message with process data (and dimension):
Max. 28 message
characters
d d . m m . y y h h : m m : s s . z z z T A M A X . O F
2 8 C H A R A C T E R S A R E H E R E ! ! - 9 9 9 . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 E + 9 9
D I M E N S I O N
2) Message without process data:
Max. 56 message characters
d d . m m . y y h h : m m : s s . z z z T A M A X . O F
5 6 C H A R A C T E R S C O M E F R O M S I M A D Y N D ! ! ! !
Example
for a message in the ASCII text format with measured value
(without dimension):
0 1 . 1 0 . 9 4 0 0 : 0 0 : 0 5 : 1 6 7 W T H E M O T O R R U N S
W I T H U E C U R R E N T - 9 9 9 9 9 . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 E + 9 9
For the „prefix/suffix“ format, the following message formats can be
displayed on the OP2 display (d=day, m=month or minute, y=year, h=hour,
z=milliseconds, T=message type (warning, fault etc.):
1) Message with process data (and dimension):
d d . m m . y y h h : m m : s s . z z z T P : 5 4 3 2 1 S : 5 4 3 2 1
- 9 9 9 . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 E + 9 9 D I M E N S I O N
2) Message without process data:
d d . m m . y y h h : m m : s s . z z z T P 5 4 3 2 1 S : 5 4 3 2 1
10.3.3 Message
print-out
The OP2 defines the message format at the printer, so that 2 display lines (i.
e. a complete message) are combined to form a printer line. OP2
automatically inserts a line break after each message. A message is
therefore always 80 characters long; the character length at the printer
should be appropriately set. OP2 does not change the message structure.
