Creation Of Text Blocks; Send Printout Lines To Recorder - ABB PointMaster 200 Series Operating Manual

Creating text blocks
If variable parameters are to be printed at the start and end of a
batch process (precondition: the printer channel is installed in
recorder), complete text lines can be sent to the recorder with
the parameter field address F1H.

Send printout lines to recorder

(with parameter field address F1H)
It is with this message that a text line with 32 characters is sent
to the recorder. The recorder enters the message in the printer
queue. As soon as the queue is empty, text printout begins
immediately, otherwise the text lines stored in the queue are
printed first. The recorder acknowledges the message with the
acknowledgment code 10H, if the message is received correctly
and entered into the queue. If the queue has no more free
space, the acknowledgement code 11H is sent in response.
The message format is:
SD2/LE/LEr/SD2/DA/SA/FC/aa/bb/cc/dd/ee/ff/[Textline]/FCS/ED

SD2 = 68H
Start byte
LE Number of data bytes + 7
LEr Repetition of LE
SD2 = 68H
Repetition of start byte
DA Target address (bus subscriber address)
