Report Generation
This chapter describes how to generate messages containing:
ASCII characters
graphic characters
variable information
You can use the report generation function of the 1770-T3 industrial
terminal to generate messages that contain ASCII and graphic characters,
and variable data table information. The processor must be in the PLC-2
mode. Messages are stored in the processor’s memory after the END of
program statement. These messages may be displayed or printed manually
or automatically.
The 1770-T3 industrial terminal report generation features include:
up to 70 messages - you can choose the number of messages to
be stored.
simple programming - only 20 or 3 rungs of programming are required
to display a message by program logic
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
Messages are entered into memory from either the 1770-T3 industrial
terminal or a peripheral device connected to channel C of the industrial
terminal. Use one of two optional keytop overlays on the 1770-T3
industrial terminal, depending on whether graphic characters are
desired (Figure 17.1):
