Report Generation
The report generation function of the T3 industrial terminal, performed in
the PLC-2 mode, can be used to generate messages that contain ASCII and
graphic characters, and variable data table information. The messages are
stored in the processor’s memory after the END of program statement.
We also have a PLC-2 Family Report Generation Module (Cat. No.
1770-RG) which performs the report generation function. This feature
is used to generate messages stored in the processor’s memory. These
messages may be generated manually or automatically.
The T3 industrial terminal and the RG module features include:
Up to 70 messages – you can choose the number of messages to be
stored
Simple programming – only 2 or 3 rungs of programming are required
to display a message by program logic
Intelligent printer interface – the RG module can monitor a busy/ready
signal from the printer
Selectable communication rates – you can choose from seven
communication rates: 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 bits per
second
Selectable parity bit – you can choose odd, even or no parity
In addition to these features, the RG module features include:
Stored messages – Up to 198 messages can be stored
On-Line message store, edit or delete – you can store, edit or delete a
message while the processor is executing its program
Message protection – module guards against inadvertent deletion of a
message
Real-time clock – you can enter and display the time, and use the time
in a message. Time format is the 24-hour (military) format — 4:15 PM
is 16:15 hours
