This value applies only to the lines used by a single message. For example, if
this message uses only lines 2 and 3, then only lines 2 and 3 will be cleared.
Lines 1 and 4 will remain unchanged.
Important: AutoClear will de-energize the alarm relay only if the message
which was cleared had energized the relay. A DL50 message
display must always be sent a message that de-energizes the
relay.

Repeat message automatically
This attribute (also referred to as AutoRepeat) causes the display to repeat a
message continually as long as no other message is in the queue waiting to
run. This attribute only functions if the DL40 message display is operating in
the Message/Variable/Slave or Message/Variable Run Mode.
This attribute is useful when you need to update variables repeatedly within a
message.
Select
Yes
to activate or
No
to deactivate.
Chain message to another
With this attribute you can link two messages together so that the second
message will run automatically after the
Wait Time for message
has
expired. The second message requires no additional triggering and no special
modification of its attributes to respond. Also, the link is independent of the
second message, which means that the second message can also run
independently under other circumstances.
The second message will have its own attributes, which may be different
from those of the first message. There is no limit to the number of messages
that can be chained together, and messages can be chained to Special
Messages.
Note: The
Chain message to another
attribute will be disabled if
AutoRepeat is active.
Activate this attribute by entering a valid message number.
Energize relay
Activating this attribute will display the message and energize the DL40
message display’s alarm relay whenever the message is triggered.
Important: The alarm relay will not de-energize even after the
Wait Time
for message
has expired. The relay will de-energize when:
•
a message is run for which the
Energize relay
attribute is
not activated
•
any Special Message runs
