or the Remote Pause input becomes active.

Retry on Time Out
For the Message Type 22 (which requires an acknowledgement from the external device after
the message) an automatic retransmit of the message may be sent. The user may select the
number of retries allowed before faulting from a lack of response from the external device. The
fault prompt “Message Error” will be displayed when in a Time Out condition.

Time Out
The Time Out value may be used for the Message Type 22 (which requires an
acknowledgement from the external device after the message) if there is no Time Out value
used in the command string of the program code. Refer to the Delay Time / Time Out
information for more information.

Programming Code
The ASCII message string follows a unique program message format. Each command begins
with a “>” character and ends with a “<” character. These characters are used as delimiters to
frame the command (Message Type, Optional Format and Optional Delay Time/ Time Out)
instructions for the message.
