Error and operational messages are provided by the user in data block DB 2.
Note
In DB 2, a "1" signal must be present for several OB1 cycles to ensure that a message can
also be displayed on the HMI. There is an upper limit for the number of interrupts and
messages that can be pending at the same time. This upper limit is dependent on the PLC
CPU. On PLC 317-2DP, the upper limit for messages pending simultaneously is 60.
