These fields are used to define messages send from the ABB PLC to the SAM module. All that these fields do is define the message ID and its size in bytes. The fields have to be in the following format and should be line by line.
MessageID,Size,Timeout
MessageID - This is the ID of the message as defined on the ABB PLC.
Size - The size of the message in bytes. If the message is a word that is 40 long and of data type real (float) then the size will be 40 * 4 = 160.
Timeout - The time to wait for the
These fields are used to define messages send from the SAM module to the ABB PLC.
