How to add a Service Message over Ethernet or Serial

[Omron Forums Support]

The Service Message can be used to send a heartbeat or simulate a 'Keep Alive' message over an Ethernet interface. Enable Service Message: In The Parameters view, Select the Diagnostics tab and locate the Service Message Status setting. Double click the Status and select Enabled. Set the Time interval between messages by adjusting the Threshold and Resolution values. The Service Message can also be changed in this menu. In QX Products, Each port can have this message enabled or disabled by selecting the Communications tab, and the setting the Diagnostics Output to Enabled or Disabled under each port.
