Additional description

Set verbose/response mode

This command controls both verbose responses/messages and tagged (labeled) responses.
Verbose mode is a communication mode in which the device responds with more information than it usually would. For
example, the IPCP can send out a notice of a change in some setting without receiving a query via your PC. That change
could have been a result of an internal process (a scheduled script execution), a selection made using a touchpanel or
keypad, a change made using GV or the embedded web pages of the device, or input (a voltage or resistance change at a
port) from a connected sensor or switch. That is an example of a verbose (wordy) relationship between the control processor
and a connected device.
• With verbose mode

off, you receive no notification of those changes or events.

• With verbose mode

on, you receive status messages, such as

X8%]

when the switched power ports change from normal

operation to an overload state, or

X% ]

when a relay is opened, closed, or toggled. These are not replies to a command

that you send, but they are unsolicited messages that are generated by the equipment.

NOTE: Verbose mode creates more network traffic than usual, which can slow down network performance.

Verbose mode is usually enabled for troubleshooting and disabled for daily use.
• By default, when the IPCP is connected via Ethernet, verbose mode is disabled in order to reduce the

amount of communication traffic on the network.

• If you want to use the verbose mode (other than mode 0) with a controller, this mode must be set to “on”

each time you reconnect to the controller.

Set the verbose mode. For

0 = clear/off (responses are plain, untagged),

default
1 = verbose mode is on (enabled)
2 = verbose mode is off, tagged responses

are sent for queries (tagged responses are
enabled)
3 = verbose mode is on (enabled) and tagged

responses are enabled and sent for queries.

NOTE: If tagged responses are enabled, all read or view commands return the constant (tagged) string and the data

or value, the same as in responses for setting a value.
