3.6 Description of the Data Unit for Online Frames
The display must be configured with the PC software (define character
sets, graphics, texts, variables and macros). The individual elements included in the configuration which is uploaded to the display can then be
used by the frames described in this chapter.
The display is delivered with a pre-programmed default configuration.
However, you can create an individualised configuration for your own
application and upload it to the display unit with the PC software. The
existing default configuration is overwritten in the process.
All indices are 0-based, i.e. “000” is transmitted in order to query the first
text. The position 0 / 0 (x / y) is the upper left-hand pixel at the display
unit. All variables, graphics and texts are written to the display starting at
the selected x and y coordinates, and then proceeding down and to the
right. The display’s physical limits may not be exceeded during this pro-
cess (otherwise no display appears).
Note: All indexes of texts, graphics, variables, character set and
bargraphs are 0-based (in PC software and at the controlling)!
Frames which contain no online text (ASCII codes 20h through FFh, 0D h,
0A h), start with the escape character (1Bh) as the first data byte.
If response frames are used, the next frame can be transmitted immediately after receipt of the response. However, this may lead to delays in
the execution of macros, moving screen texts and scrolling if the frame
sequence is to fast.
If response telegrams are not used, a pause must be inserted between
the frames as described in chapter “Online Frame Layout”.
Data bytes included in the data unit must be in ASCII format!
Example, Specifying Position:
... 31h 32h 33h ... must be transmitted for declaration of position 123D.
(ASCII characters “1”, “2” and “3.”)
Refer to chapter “Displayable Characters” for a table of displayable
ASCII characters.
