Title: Message Display
Post by: philipjoseph on September 13, 2002, 10:30:50 AM

May I install more than one message display to every plc?
If that is possible, how can I program it.

There is only 1 built-in LCD port for T100MD+ PLC. But you could use the RS485 type of serial LCD display, e.g. the MDS100. You could link up to 31 MDS100 display to a single PLC for remote messaging. Each LCD can be programmed with a unique ID and you can use the NETCMD$() function to send messages to the display.

I need to install 3 message displays with 10 lettersor more and 2" of height, so I'd like to know if you can send me some models to use.

We don't supply LCD display of other character sizes. You will have to shop around for large dimension display. Some of those "running" LED display may have the size you need and have RS232/RS485 port.
