Output text
Shortcut: 1120 to 1121
Default: None
Entering text for an output allows you to control it directly or by
schedule. Use the following guidelines to name onboard outputs:
• Use the item numbers listed in Table 25 on page 134 for characters
and words.
• If you want to configure an output for user output control you must use
the output text feature to name the output. If no output text is
programmed, output control will not function for that output.
• If a desired word does not appear in Table 25 on page 134, create it
using the characters (custom text).
• When using words from the table, spaces between them appear
automatically. When using characters from the table to create words,
you must reserve an item number for a space after the word.
• Each character or word uses up one item number. For example, a
word from the list counts as one item number.
• Only 16 item numbers are allowed for each output name, so plan
before programming output text. You may need to abbreviate words to
avoid running out of item numbers.
