Note: Parameters whose values have textual
representations (such as the names of bit states) or

or durations) are automatically displayed as text. For these parameters, Display
style and selections pertaining to numeric parameters are not available.
• Parameter: Select the parameter to show in the selected slot. The most
commonly used parameters are listed as presets.
For bit field parameters, you can select either a single bit or the full bit field to add
to the Home view. With individual bits, the bit state is displayed. Full bit fields are
shown in either hexadecimal or binary format.
Note: If Empty is selected, the parameter is removed from the Home view.
• Display style: Select how the signal values are displayed. It is possible to use
different display types on the same page.
• Numeric: The parameter values are displayed as numbers (see picture 3
below). If there is only one parameter on the page, a bar graph is also
displayed.
• Gauge/bar: When there is only one parameter on the page, the parameter
value is shown as a dial gauge (see picture 1 below). When there are two or
three parameters on the same page, the value is displayed as a bar graph
(see the top slot in picture 2 below).
• Graph 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 24 hours: The parameter value is
displayed as a graph within the selected time frame (see the bottom slot in
picture 2).
Note: The data shown in the graph is not stored in the drive memory, that is, if
you remove or restart the control panel, the data is lost.
