6.3 Appropriation of screen data
Screen data made for one type of GOT can be converted in the screen creation software, for
use in a different type of GOT.
Care must be taken with the screen layout and unit functionality, as these may be different
between various GOT models. (Refer to 6.3.1 and 22.3.)
6.3.1 Conversion from FX-50DU-TK(S)-E to F940GOT
By using the screen creation software FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E, screen data in an FX-50DU-TK(S)-
E can be converted and used for the F940GOT.
The compatibility of the data in such a case is described below.
• How to use the screen data
When the model is changed from FX-50DU to F940GOT using FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E (V2.00
or later), screen data is converted so that it can be used in the F940GOT.
• Cautions on conversion
Pay close attention to the following cautions during conversion.
1) Alarm function
The alarm notification method, "Overlap", "Change Screen" or "Print" can be selected for
each alarm in the 50DU. In the F940GOT, only one alarm notification method can be
selected for all alarms (That is, one alarm notification method is used for every alarm.).
When data in the 50DU is converted and used in the F940GOT, the alarm notification
method selected in the head alarm device in the 50DU is adopted for every alarm.
2) Display of user screens
a) Image, Library Image and Image Indicator
When a black-and-white image is selected to be used with the functions above, it can be
displayed in colors other than black and white in the 50DU by specifying the colors.
In the F940GOT, the same operation can be performed using the "Indicator" function.
b) Number and Ascii
Only numerics and character codes can be changed on the display screen.
Data can be changed while "Permit" is selected in "Number" and "Ascii". When a
numeric or character code on the screen is touched, a keyboard for data change is
displayed. (Each numeric and character code displayed on the screen, functions as a
touch key.)
c) Keyboard
The display position of the keyboard for numerics and text can be moved on the screen
in the F940GOT.
3) Screen changeover function
In the F940GOT, if the key condition and input condition are set to "Always" when a screen
is changed over from the PLC, priority is always given to screen changeover by a control
device in the PLC.
Accordingly, if both the key condition and input condition are set to "Always" in the setting of
screen changeover in the 50DU, the setting of screen changeover or the used sequence
program should be changed. (Refer to Chapters 20 and 22.)
