Any system errors the terminal detects are logged to the System
Error window.
If a System Error appears, note the error message and contact your
Allen-Bradley Sales Representative.
Messages keep the operator informed about the status of the
operation when the application is running. Messages are displayed in
windows on the terminal screen. You can create three types of
messages in the Messages editors in PanelBuilder software:
•
Alarm Messages
ĊThese alert the operator to problems in the
process. Each alarm message can be equipped with special
options to sound an audio alarm, energize an alarm relay, and
print the alarm message.
•
Information Messages
ĊThese inform the operator about
operational status and provide prompts, instructions, or warnings.
•
Local Messages
ĊThese appear in the Local Message Display
object. Like information messages, local messages inform the
operator about the status of an operation or provide prompts or
instructions.
