Marquee WEB Pages
EDIT MESSAGE
This page allows the configuration of messages that will be displayed on the Marquee. The user has
the ability to configure up to 100 messages that can be displayed on the Marquee. The message that
is displayed on the Marquee is determined by the value or bits that are active in the MESSAGE
CALL UP registers over Ethernet/IP.

MSG #
This field indicates the message number for the corresponding fields to the right. The message
number is used to associate a value to the message. This number is used within the controller
to display the corresponding message on the Marquee. Message numbers range from 1-100,
which in turn allows the user to program up to 100 messages that can be displayed on the
Marquee.
MSG TEXT
This field allows the user to specify the text of the message. The message text is limited to 80
characters. If a message is larger than can be displayed on the Marquee, the Marquee will
automatically parse the message into multiple parts and display one part at a time until the
message is completely displayed. The time that any giving part is displayed is based on the
selection under MINIMUM DISPLAY TIME.
A group of special identifiers are available to be embedded within the text of the message to do
such things as embed variable data. An identifier always starts with the @ character followed
by a single character to specify the operation. The following table lists the identifiers available
to the user.
