18.13.3 Displaying PLC messages
When activating a message (marks "MSG1" through "MSG1024"), the PLC message
window (top right ) shows the message number and its associated text. If the message has
been defined so it shows a file with additional information, it will be displayed at full screen
(if the file does not exist, a blue screen will be displayed).
If there are several active messages, it will display the one with highest priority (the one with
lowest number). It will also show the "+" sign next to the PLC message window to indicate
that there are more messages activated by the PLC.
Message window
In order to expand the PLC message window and display the active message list, press the
key combination [CTRL]+[M]. The list will show a symbol next to each message to indicate
that it has a file with additional information associated with it.
To display a message, select it with the cursor and press [ENTER]. If the message has an
additional information file, it will be displayed on the screen. To close the additional
information window, press [ESC].
File with additional information
The files with additional information, defined by the machine manufacturer, may be displayed
automatically when activating the message (if so defined in the table for messages and
errors) or when requested by the user (at the message window). The following keys are
