7.5 Change of displayed data
Among the data displayed on the user screen, numeric data indicating set values and current
values of word devices in the PLC can be changed by operating the touch key or key-pad.
In FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E, "Number" and "Ascii" can be changed. In GT Designer, "Numerical
Input" and "Ascii input" can be changed.
7.5.1 Data change condition
In the following cases, Number (Numerical Input), Ascii (Ascii Input), or Bar Graph (Bar)
cannot be changed.
1) GOT status
- While change is forbidden (During communication with FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E)
When the data change target object is set to "FORBID".
Countermeasures: Set the object to "PERMIT".
- When an input value is outside the allowable range
The upper limit and lower limit are provided to indicate the allowable data setting range.
If the input value is outside this range, it is not accepted.
Countermeasures: Change the upper/lower limit value.
- When "****" is displayed on the screen (Only in HPP MODE. It is blank on a user
screen.)
When a device number not existing in the PLC is monitored, the numeric data is
displayed as "****" on the screen.
Countermeasures:
Change the device number whose numeric data is to be monitored on the screen.
- If the displayed "Number" ("Numerical Input") or "Ascii" ("Ascii Input") is not located in a
position recognizable as mesh for touch key
A touch key can occupy an area of 16 (width) x 20 (height) dots. When a touch key
occupies the half or more of this area, it is recognized as a touch key. If a target object of
data change is not located in a position recognizable as mesh for touch key, the data
change operation is disabled even if the target object of data change is touched.
Solution:
Change the location of the target object. Or display the target object with a frame or in a
size whose height is twice or more. (Refer to Paragraph 19.6.1 and 21.9.1.)
- When displaying the key window in the F930GOT-K, (During communication with GT
Designer) set "Key window setting" on the "Key window" tab on the "Project Auxiliary
Settings" dialog box.
The key window is not displayed if "Use default key window" is selected on the "Key
window" tab. (Refer to Paragraph 7.6.3.)
For the three countermeasures above, numeric setting should be changed in the screen
creation software.
2) PLC status
- When the FX/A Series PLC, set values of timers, counters and current values of file
registers cannot be changed.
- When the FX Series PLC is in RUN, set values of timers, counters and current values of
file registers cannot be changed.
- When an entry code is registered in the FX/A Series PLC, set values of timers, counters
and current values of file registers cannot be changed. Reset the entry code.
