Configuration with the Configuration Tool
26 Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F
The internal variables will use a total of approximately 20 KB of memory in the
operator panel. Unlike the regular drivers, it does not matter if internal variables are
used in consecutive order or not.
The Controller Toolbar
The driver for a selected object can be selected from the Controller Toolbar. Using
internal variables is selected by clicking the I-symbol.
Color Scheme
In the E-series operator panels color schemes can be created to determine the color
of the background, menus, dialogs, and objects, etc. This is not supported in the
E1000 panels.
Once a project is opened or created, the Project Manager is displayed, containing all
components included in the current project. Functions in the project can be added
and edited from the Project Manager, from different toolbars or from menus.
The Status Bar
The Status bar is shown at the bottom of the window in the configuration tool.
The left part of the status bar describes the function of the selected menu, or presents
a short description of the object that the cursor points at in the toolbar. The
coordinates, line and column in the block manager, are also shown.
The right part of the status bar displays operator panel model and driver version in
the current project, and how much memory is available in the operator panel once
the project is transferred. OVR indicates that the Insert key (overwrite) is activated.
