GP TOUCH MONOPOLIZE
The monopolizing of touch panel use can be set ON or OFF. When you
want to use the PLC exclusively ( PLC Connection Manual
4-5 About PLC Monopolize) with a Momentary operation setup on the
touch panel, turn GP TOUCH MONOPOLIZE ON.
When this setup is ON, the touch panel uses the PLC exclusively whenever
the momentary operation setup on the panel is pressed. In this way, you can
use the inching operation with a momentary switch. When you stop press-
ing the panel, exclusive use ends.
MONOPOLIZE TIME (0 to 2550s)
This field controls the length of time for the monopolize process when no
other touch panel operations are performed. The Monopolize process
begins when the System Data Area's 7th bit of word address LS14 turns ON,
and ends either when the bit turns OFF, or when the time set here elapses.
• Pressing the touch panel in the middle of the monopolize process interrupts
the MONOPOLIZE TIME function, and ends exclusive use.
• When MONOPOLIZE TIME is set to 0, the monopolize function does not
end automatically.
