2.14.1.2 Ctrl/E - Terminate Connection
The connection to a process station (PRV/BPS/EKL-X) may be broken off with Ctrl/E.
This also makes an exit from function DSS.
With input of Ctrl/E an exit is also made from the EKL's own dialogue. If Ctrl/E is
entered during CONF dialogue or in TSK Editor an exit from the operation and a return
to 'Immediate Mode' is made.
Only then can Function DSS be interrupted by a second Ctrl/E.
The following message is given after a DSS connection is ended with Ctrl/E:
$177>: ctrl/E
10:19:26 DSS ended to $177
If no active dialogue takes place in DSS after 30 seconds, a 'Timeout' is triggered, which
allows any queued messages to be output on the operating terminal. There is a 'hard'
timeout which, if triggered, automatically breaks off the DSS dialogue:
For a PRV/BPS/EKL-X there is a hard timeout after 4.5 minutes.
The following message appears:
10:18:46 dialog-timeout!
10:18:46 DSS ended to $177
