       Allows HAL pins to trigger a message. Example hal commands:
        loadrt  message names=oillow,oilpressure,inverterfail messages="Slideway oil low,No oil pressure,Spindle
       inverter fault"
        addf oillow servo-thread
        addf oilpressure servo-thread
        addf inverterfail servo-thread

        setp oillow.edge 0 #this pin should be active low
        net no-oil classicladder.0.out-21 oillow.trigger
        net no-pressure classicladder.0.out-22 oilpressure.trigger
        net no-inverter classicladder.0.out-23 inverterfail.trigger

       When any pin goes active, the corresponding message will be displayed.

message.N.edge bit rw (default: TRUE)
              Selects the desired edge: FALSE means falling, TRUE means rising

message.N.trigger bit in (default: FALSE)
              signal that triggers the message

       message.N.force bit in (default: FALSE)
              A FALSE->TRUE transition forces the message to be displayed again if the trigger is active

loadrtmessage[count=N|names=name1[,name2...]][messages=N]messages
                  The  messages  to  display.  These  should  be listed, comma-delimited, inside a single set of
                  quotes. See the "Description" section for an example.  If there are more messages than "count"
                  or "names" then the excess will be ignored. If  there  are  fewer  messages  than  "count"  or
                  "names" then an error will be raised and the component will not load.
