• Message Trigger Address. The controller address that triggers a
message to display. This toggles between 0 and 1 in the

the InView display recognizes (^T[message number]^M ).

for PLC-5E controller) containing the message data. The
maximum array size is dependent on the controller and must be
an even integer.
• Variable Trigger Address. The controller address that triggers a
message variable to display. This toggles between 0 and 1 in the
controller.
• Variable Data Address. The starting address of the variable data

variable command that the InView display recognizes
(^V[variable data]\[variable number]^M ).
IMPORTANT
All four tags for Message Trigger Address, Message
Data Address, Variable Trigger Address, Variable
Data Address, and the array sizes must be entered
and established in the controller as valid tags even if
they are not used.
